what do i want out of this class?

so, this is the first blog i've ever written. its for my english 1101 class, as i'm sure anyone reading this has already figured out. professor aiken has instructed my class to create this blog for a grade, and she told us to write about what we want to get out of this class. so, what would i like to get out of this class? well, of course i would like to get a good grade :) ha, but really... i guess i'm going to college for a "college education" so i suppose i want an education... most people have told me that this class is nothing but essays, which i always feel i'm terrible at. so, if can learn how to write essays better, that would be nice. i'm just scared that professor aiken is going to already expect me to know how to write well, like how to use MLA format and how to use footnotes and what ever else people are supposed to know how to do before they write an essay. i would also like to learn more about the plagarism thing that has been so stressed about at MSC, because honestly, i'm not totally sure i know what is and isn't plagarism anymore. well... i suppose this is about i know that i want for now... i may add more later :)
