The Past

 1.   Nicole’s journal entries are all good in length, done regularly, and labeled with a date, but the legibility is far from readable. Overall, her journal was regular, informing, and I never felt out of the loop with her project.

2.  Her entries are all very boring and the same. It has no visuals, very little evidence of research, however I did get a feel of the things she struggles with and she did talk about her mentor meetings.

3.     There are a lot of reflections in this project that give me good insight on the things she struggled with and the things she was having a good time with.

4.     What I enjoyed the most about Nicole’s project was the sense of familiarity I had with her life because of her entries. I perfectly envisioned her going home, walking the dogs, telling the dogs to sit, going to Petsmart, and crashing her car.

5.     Two suggestions I would have for Nicole would be to write more neatly because her train of thought flows nicely onto a sheet of paper once you can finally make out what she wrote, and to show spontaneity and exciting things better, using describing words.

I would give Nicole’s narrative and journal a 4. She deserved a 4 because overall, you could tell that she had done a significant amount of work. For example, she cited that she helped another woman with her dog needs. Which is something she didn’t need to do and really shows how she reached into the community. She did a lot but she did the same thing over and over again. Walk dog, tell the dog to sit, take dog to Petsmart. Even though it was repetitive I can tell she learned a lot and really was able to balance her time better than she thought she could and better than I am currently. Reading this really makes me strive to keep a better blog so people in the future don’t read mine and gag because of how bored they are.
