What I learned about the library!

 Good morning Lombrices!

This will be a short post, sorry for the inconvenience!

    Yesterday my Card 101 class went to the library and let's just say I feel way more comfortable in this space. At first, the library seemed so overwhelming to me because of the idea of not being able to find what I need for research, but actually learning about the different things we can use on the library's website automatically made me feel better!

    I learned about how the library's website can help you with broad research and very specific research. So specific, that you can even put down under what major or minor the question relates to. That's crazy! This was information that will definitely benefit my peers and I in the future! Learning how to navigate the website in general is already a process in itself, but to be honest, I don't mind how many clicks you have to do in order to get the information you need. 

 Definitely excited to continue using this platform for my rational argument! 

I have to go now lombrices, until the next one! 

-Mayra :)

Using AI for the first time for a paper and Hell Week

Image
 Good day Lombrices!  I hope all is well, and that you are all having a great Halloweekend!  I am about to leave for work soon, but first things first, I used AI for the first time to revise my paper! It was only an experiment, but it was a very interesting experience. I find it kind of creepy that AI is super advanced nowadays to the point where it can take your average paper and turn it into a high-level paper. I understand that it's not an ideal resource to use when writing your paper, but to be honest, it isn't all that bad. I find it very useful to help get my message across but with more "pizzazz" in the sentences.  I'm excited to continue experimenting with AI in the future!  Now... it's Hell Week everyone! (*Insert "Dun Dun Dun" sound effect*)  Hell Week is pretty much the haunt days (starting from Thursday) leading up to Halloween. The haunted house I work at opens on Wednesday, but it's isolation night, meaning there are no actors. Thur...

One last time...

 Hello Lombrices!  I hope all of you are doing well!  This will be my final post of the semester in Card 101! That's so crazy!  I just want to start out by saying, thank you so much for being on this journey with me! This semester really went by so fast, and I hope all of you had a great time reading my posts!  Now, my progress in Card 101...how do I feel about it?  Well, to be completely honest with you, in what seemed to be a very short time being in Card 101, I feel like I truly did grow, perspective wise. I've learned to look at questions or ideas, or even documentaries in a different light. I've learned to truly dig into something, and to really describe things in greater detail, unlike my past high school essays where I would just be so robotic and restrictive on my writing. Least to say, I've learned to snap out of the high school essay mindset, and truly just explore my own writing.  What else can I say? This was probably one of my favorite cla...

Ideas and process for Rational Argument

Image
 Good day Lombrices!       This whole week has been weird. Now approaching the end of the haunt season, I've realized how much I haven't been paying attention to my feelings, and I should probably start doing that before it turns into a huge problem. Speaking of feelings, I feel like I have very little ideas for my rational argument.       The moment the topic of finding a question came up in class, my mind kind of went blank. I could do my rational argument based on my microtheme from the beginning of the semester. It was about how we as people always try to have a perfect body and compare ourselves to this image that society put in our minds. But I feel like that topic isn't relevant to me anymore. So, I'm still left without a question.       I've been trying to find my question in relevant feelings that I have towards situations in my life. Like: Why do we call people who we're interested in romantically called crushes?...
