This week in the IA we talked about how people can't get work done in the office. It's true! This was no surprise for me, it actually sounded familiar; I've heard several times people saying that they can't get work done at school and that they'd rather work at home, me included. This definitely shouldn't be this way. How can it be possible that we get seven hours a day to work and learn, and we rather, just leave it all for when we get back home. Doesn't that sound irrational? If school has become a place were we can't concentrate nor produce quality, then why go to school, when we can concentrate better at home? This has to change. I remember last year in Ms. Malatesta's class, we had to hand in a one world essay. Ms. Malatesta gave us the whole class to work on the essay, due to that it was a very complicated and long task, and had a short amount of time to do it. Either way, Nerea and I where unable to concentrate in class even if we tried, and just gave up, and made the decision to work at home. It seems illogic to do the work in our free time, and get stressed, instead using the time that the teacher provides us.

Paula your post is very interesting and you have an easy-to-read and endearing natural voice, but there are places where you should tighten up your writing. Especially when you fail to use spell-check on multiple occasions and make dumb spelling and grammar mistakes that could be avoided if you did. Words like "intence", "waisting" or "discaussed" shouldn't even be in your vocabulary and they wouldn't appear if you drafted your entries in Word first and then pasted them into your blog. You also use turns of phrase that are repetitive and poorly used, and it makes your writing seem sloppy, gimmicky and lacking effort. When you use "due to that" incorrectly two times in your entry it doesn't make you seem smart: it makes me think you don't know what phrase you should be using. Other small mistakes like where-were-we're, and your-you're misuse really bother me, not because they ruin your whole entry, but because they could be so easily solved. You should read your entries twice before publishing them, and really check for your voice. Some words and phrases make you seem hostile, like when you say the man claimed to have heard you. The word "claimed" has legal connotations, like the word allegedly, and its use makes it seem like you don't fully trust the man's claim. It's small things like this that you should tighten up. If you don't, then nobody'll take you seriously.

Great Blog entry Paula! It is awesome to see how you have realized that even though sometimes work doesn't happen at work, it is all because "It all depends if your'e proposing yourself to do it". Keep up the good work! "You can do it" :)
