heavy metal time

I would say that before I took this class I was relatively unsure of my writing skills because it has been a long time since I have been in school. My ability to articulate is relatively strong, however, sometimes putting thoughts into a coherent train of thought can be a struggle. Before this class I had no recollection of how to cite sources, as it has been eight years since I've been required to do so. Since this class I feel like my writing flows more from one thought to another and I know how to write to a particular audience. Although I feel these areas have improved, I would say that they still need refining. The most obvious of my weaknesses (to me at least) is my wordiness at times. Sometimes I need to just get to the damn point.
