   Collaboration is definitely part of school, especially in the Education
field.  We are always doing projects together and working together to get
assignments completed. Personally, I would rather do my projects alone. This way
I know the grade I get was solemnly due to my work itself. Also, if I miss
something I am the only one to blame. I have been in situations more than once
where partners did not finish their parts of s project and I was up most of the
night competing their section and sometimes the professor did not even care of
my partner did not contribute because it was a group effort. 
   I feel that in writing collaboration can have a great benefit because I
really like input from other people about my writing. I think it really helps me
with knowing what to changes and what to keep. Sometimes I second guess myself
and it is good to know when I will have someone to help me fix and make change.
While working I am always working with other people, whether it is figuring out
how to display things, making up the schedule, balancing the register, or while
substituting, when I am an aide for the day and I need to work with the other
teacher to get the students to stay on track and get things done as if I were
the teacher their daily

     My writing process so far this semester I must admit, I am not too happy about. For some reason I have been waiting until the last minute to do my assignments, which definitely isn't my style. I am usually always on top of my school work.
                While trying to figure out my Twitterive project I found myself overwhelmed. I had no clue what I wanted to do. My classmates had all these great ideas and I found myself with an empty head and clueless. It was not until my Microfiction assignment where I found a spark. I reread my tweets and it made me see the place where I am the happiest (well besides my cozy bed) and that was training Muay Thai.  Twitter makes me get to the point with what I need to say due to the 160 character limit.
                 Writing with my eyes closed..... Not a fan at all. When we did this exercise in class, all I wanted to do was open my eyes and see what I was writing on my paper. For the purpose of the exercise I did however make sure I kept my eyes closed the entire duration of the activity because I was not sure what the point of it was.  After I opened my eyes, I realized that this was not an activity I could do, my writing was all on top of one another.  I could not read what I wrote.  When I look at it, it looks like a little kid just scribbled on a piece of paper with possibly a few letters.  I sometimes close my eyes to visualize what to write and how to write it to the point my audience will understand what point I am trying to get across.
