First Week Back

This first week back in school has been a week full of learning.  However, it's not exactly the type of learning I was expecting to have.  It's been more of a humbling type of learning about myself and my knowledge. I've learned the following this week:

·         I've forgotten almost every principle I use to know about accounting now that I'm in a 400 level accounting class.

·         I have a very small knowledge about the Doctrine & Covenants compared to what I thought I did. 

·         I have no idea what the difference is between a simple and a complex sentence. 

·         I have absolutely no knowledge of how to blog. 

I'd like to refer to and focus on bullet point number 3.  Why can't a sentence just be a sentence?  I've got a whole lot to learn about sentence structure, punctuation, etc.  I know it will be very important for me to be successful in not only finding a job, but also being successful in my career.   

Some of the ways I'm going to attempt improving these weaknesses is first, studying them and learning the different types of sentences structures and the components within each sentence.  After that I'm going to bring that knowledge into the different things I read such as magazines, newspapers, Facebook posts and whatever else I read.  I want to be able to break apart sentences until I understand what the different components are in different sentences. Hopefully by doing this I can improve how I write and speak in my everyday life.
