Good afternoon!
I hope all of you have been having a good week! As of yesterday I finished my last exam, and I now have a five-day weekend! Second semester doesn't start until until Wednesday the 31st of January, so I get to hang out until then.
Unfortunately, as I may have mentioned in my last post, I have an essay to write that has to be handed in on Wednesday. Technically, it's a book critique. For this paper I had to pick a biography of someone interesting to me and write a one-page critique, talking about key aspects of writing style and organization of the book. I didn't mind the reading part so much, since I was able to choose Alexander Hamilton, but the writing part hasn't been as much fun. As I'm writing this, I've just finished and am going to have it checked over for any mistakes. I hope I do well on it, but I'm also just kind of done with the whole thing. I spent weeks reading that book and I probably didn't even need to. I could've written the critique without finishing the book. It would not be difficult at all! I'm also pretty good at coming up with something on the spot and winging it.
Speaking of winging it, when I use "wing it" in the past tense, I always want to say "wung it", despite that not being a word. Saying "winged" just sounds weird to me. Does anyone else do that? I looked it up and it seems like a lot of people want to use "wung" as well. Let me know what you guys think, assuming the comments feature works on this.
As long as my critique passes the grammar check (I guess you could say my critique is being critiqued!), I'll probably play Firewatch on Monday, so be on the lookout for that!
I think that's all I've got for today, since I spent a good few hours writing my critique. I'll make sure to let you guys know how my exams turned out and what I get on the critique! Have a good rest of your day!
