WP3 is over a with that coms relief. I was honestly very excited about WP3, but the scheduling of it killed my available work time on it. The end result was a half baked idea that turned into a quarter baked WP3. Not super thrilled about it to be honest. This was the first WP3 where I actually could stand peer reviews. I think it was my group rather than the WP though. I don’t know why it is but I absolutely hate peer reviews. I can consciously understand that they are of tremendous value to us writers; with that said, they make my skin crawl. I remember doing the peer review of WP2 and someone was reviewing my essay, yet I had already finished theirs. I was just sitting their actively thinking of ways to discreetly board a plane to Tunisia. It is an awful quality that I have, but anyway yeah this peer review wasn’t nearly as bad. Moving on to the portfolio, I am really looking forward to some of it, I am really really not looking forward to some of it, and I know that I will end up messing it up gloriously. This has failure written all over it from my perspective. The revisions and reverse outlines I will probably do aggressively mediocre on; however, the meta-congnative reflection will fail oh so gloriously. Since it doesn’t have a strong base and we are encouraged to be informal, I see my future self losing touch with the root of the essay almost instantly. What I think will be this wise, smart, funny, clever, eye-opening, and thoughtful reflection will turn into this kaleidoscope with sparks of  bright substance, overwhelmed with browns and grays of nonsensical, ass-upidy(hypen?), drivel that will drive anything of meaning from it. Maybe I will write an outline for it. I don’t think it will exactly help me, per se, but it might help remind me that I am not Douglas Adams or Andrzej Sapkowski. It will be kind of cool to see how it turns out though. I can honestly say as of right now I have no idea what it will be about, which is kind of exciting. All this said, the reflection is the part which I am really looking forward to. I think it is because I am a narcissist(like most of us) and am looking forward to finally being able to write about the only thing that I am truly passionate about:myself.(<—-72% sarcasm)
