What a relief it was to read this book as opposed to the Parrott! I found myself not skimming and wanting to read each word on the pages. Even after reading everything I felt like I got through the pages quicker than when I skim through the Parrott.
There were many activities in Anderson's book that I would like to commit to memory. For instance,the pronoun activity on page 105. It may be because I am a visual learner, but I like the idea of circling pronouns and connecting them to their antecednts; after all the were made for each other.
I have to give the Parrott book credit, however. As boring as it may be, it is far more thorough making me be more conscious of my grammar. For example, after just typing the comparative in the previous sentence I feel the urge to open up to the section in the chapter that explained the usage of far and by far.
I am noticing that I am almost nervous writing in the blog in fear of grammatical errors. I hope this class will help with the this newly developed fear and I hope it improves my grammar.

Hi!
There's no need to be nervous about grammar. You are doing just fine. As you have already noticed, the Parrott book is a good point of reference for when you have doubts. Just keep writing!
