This week's lecture was amazing. Our professor is... well you all know. In high school, I used to try and get my teachers to get off on tangents to avoid talking about what we were supposed to be learning. We were good at it. But now, I think we might just try and get off on tangents to hear more hilarious and inspiring (let's be honest) stories about confessions of love and fake engagements. That was, I'll say it again, amazing. 

This week I had a eureka moment when I realized that all the things we were learning did in fact connect. That situation in which Prof. Middleton brought home a fake fiance is a connecting moment for her and her relationship history. Learning about CLOUD was a connecting moment for my MCOM history (mildly less epic). As we learn different tools to help our writing, tying them together is the best way to help our writing and our success in this class. Connecting HATS to OABC and understanding their importance individually as well as how they work together is going to help us to remember them, remember to employ them, and help to write better and more effectively. She also mentioned the final examination recently and I realized just how quickly that is going to come up. Further need to remember all these acronyms and guidelines. As we do our readings and listen to the presentations, we ought to make as many connections as possible of the material. By doing so, we will be better prepared as we continue with this class for real world situations, class assignments, and the final examination.
