This week we learned how to write a cover letter in lecture. I’m pretty excited about this, considering I had NO idea what a cover letter really was before-hand. Kind of interesting how you’re supposed to tailor your resume and your cover letter to each specific job you apply to.

We also learned how to “trim fat” out of our writing, going from a more scholarly writing style to a more business writing style. Needless to say we should be able to trim a quite a bit out of our proposal for the final draft.

In terms of my action plan, I’m working harder than ever to not shut ideas down, and instead walk through each idea and let the group as a whole come to a decision. It still isn’t second nature for me, which is a little frustrating, but I’m sure with practice it will get easier and easier.

We’re getting pretty close to the end! The fnal draft of our proposal is due this monday and we have final presentations in 2 weeks! Time has flown by so quickly.
