EDRG 3344 - Personal Writing

In class this past week we learned about personal writing. Professor Harris informed us that personal writing is writing like, text messaging, letters, blogs and so on, and it is something that you do for yourself and its not really academic. I never really paid attention to how much I actually wrote untill I learned about personal writing. Some types of personal writing that I do frequently is text, email and website, planner, post-it and to do list. Texting is something that I do often because it is an easy way to keep contact with my family, there are ten of us and we are always going in different directions, so it is an easy way to keep up with each other. I do personal writing by email, texting, and my myspace and facebook websites to keep in contact with my friends and family, both the ones who live out of state and the ones who live in Texas but I don't get to see that often. I also use a planner to help me keep things like class projects, and assignments, church events and other things in order. I use post-its and to-do list to help remind me of things I have to do during the day.

In class on Wednesday we made all about me dolls, that we put our names in and five details about something we loved. I was kind of mistaken at first and though it was supposed to be five things that we loved. Anyway in the end I decided to write why I loved shopping because shopping is the way that I get the other things that I like.


Shopping is such a fun thing to do
There are so many things I like to buy
Books and magazines I love to read
Scarves, hats and jackets to wear in fall and winter
Cd's from all my favorite artist
Shopping is something I do to bond
Hanging out at the mall with my friends
Or spending the day out with my mom
Walking, talking, and laughing
Going from store to store
Trying on clothes, shoes, and accessories
Shopping is a fun thing to do
