This essay will describe and analyze my previous experiences during the course as related to what I learned about myself as a writer and learner. The thoughts I had before the course started were different from what they are now, but the important thing is to explain how they have evolved over the past three months. Throughout the four assignments completed in the course, I identified the fundamental requirements I need to write and learn effectively. First, I identified the ideal environment I need to write my essays. Second, I discovered that day and night greatly affect the quality of my work and why it is easier for me to learn in the morning. Finally, I identified the best way for me to develop the planning phase of my works. When I started the course, I just had the experience of being a high school writer. This is the first reason I thought I needed to explain the fact that I'm a night writer. Back in Colombia, the school day ended at four in the afternoon. After that, I arrive home around 5 p.m. By the time I had dinner and finally started writing my essays, it was already dark. So I enjoyed the time when I was alone in my room watching any movie, while I organized my thoughts and wrote assignments for school. After joining HULT, I was able to decide when to write. I felt like during the day there was a lot going on and if I stayed alone in my room I was wasting valuable learning time. At the end of a class, many people asked me what I was going to do next. My friends always invited me for a beer, lunch or a game of pool. Naturally, I always accept these types of invitations. When it came to writing an essay, I could just concentrate after 6 p.m. when I was sitting... in the middle of a paper...... sounding free writing, I experienced something something that has never happened to me. At first I found it useless but then I applied what MacMillan M. & Clark D. were talking about, the writing block. This reflection was made after two days of reflection and fifteen minutes of free writing on a writing pad. For essays in all courses, I just take ten or twenty minutes to get all the ideas down into a writing block. After that, I take another 40 minutes to organize the order of ideas in the computer. And finally I reach the end of my test by refining the last details in 1 hour. Writing an essay at the beginning of the course took me between four and five hours. Now I can do the same job in two or three hours. The writing block was the major discovery I made throughout the course. Works cited MacMillan M. and Clark D. (1998).
