Over these first five weeks at Old Dominion University I have been getting well-adjusted to many new opportunities, activities, and especially my classes. I am in University 150 and honestly I am glad I am for a couple of reasons. A major plus has been that I have already noticed a significant boost in my writing skills, not to mention my speaking etiquette. It has also taught me new ways to improve my essays; using peer editing has been a large part of my success in writing this semester. This one new technique has made me much more comfortable as a writer.
