What I learned last semester and What I want to learn this semester

What I learned last semester was how to write properly and how annotate as i read a book or poem. What I had problems with last semester was not finishing my writing or work on time and not coming up with an thesis statement instantly. What I want to learn this semester is to write better and to analyze poems, literature books, etc.. so that I can conceive better and to break down questions so that I can understand them better. I need to work on my pronunciation in my writing and reading and I also need to work on coming up with my thesis statements quicker.
