Punct,u,a,ted. Blogging.

I think I'm becoming addicted!

To blogging that is... *contented laugh*

  I'm really enjoying being able to express my ideas and thoughts so freely and TOO someone better yet! Also, it's a challenge to me to see what ways I can manipulate punctuation to better exemplify how I would express things verbally. Though most times I really have no clue if I'm actually being grammatically correct. So, I really do hope that you aren't an English major! *laughing* I know I learn better by just doing so that is well, what I'm doing! Take that sentence for example: should it be punctuated "... by just doing so, that is well, what I'm doing"  or should it be: "...by just doing so, that is well what I'm doing." I accented the "well" because that is what I was wanting to have punctuated to express the fact that I'm doing something and obviously I have carried that out; obviously... Perhaps I need to go back and take Grammar 101. Now that I have found an actual need for the information. Funny thing is; I did quite well on the ACT tests and other random ones that test you in English. Actually, I did better in that area then all others, beside's reading that is.

  I did my Senior year for High School in Canada and so, besides needing to take the ACT for US school requirements, I also had to take Canada's version. I don't have the faintest memory of what it's called if you were wondering... sorry. Well actually, Canada's test was specifically for Senior testing. They require them to make sure that those who are graduating actually have obtained an education to qualify for obtaining a high school diploma. I'm 85% sure that the US has something like this but, Canada's is definitely a test of knowledge on all levels. For example: the English part required you to read a story and then write a short essay on it. Then you moved on to a poem and did the same thing only that they were very strict on having you obtain an actually original idea from the poem. The last part consisted of either 2 or 3 questions on which you needed to write a short essay on. You were then tested on thought construction and flow, punctuation, grammar, and spelling, not to mention, whether or not you wrote anything worth reading! Frankly, I found it a whole lot of fun and a nice challenge! I don't remember my score only that I was quite pleased with it and it gave me courage to know I could write quite decently.

  But alas, I don't have a specific way of assessing how well the writing in this blog is; except possibly through how many readers I have and feedback from you. Ah well, I have maaany more years of school ahead of me and I'm sure all of the dots, dashes & semi circles will be ironed out in time! Or atleast I will enjoy lots of pretty red marks...

  For now I will relish obtaining free tutoring from myself!
