Famous Last Words: Almost done!!

It's freaking me out that we are approaching the end of the semester... Crazy to think I will be a junior this fall!!
My week before spring break was fairly easy. I had midterms before then so I was kind of resting. I also had a medical procedure on that Friday before spring break so I went home early anyway. Last week I started my portfolio! (correctly) It felt good to be able to get some good feedback from Professor Gibbs and see what I need to fix.
I am looking forward to editing my Portfolio story this week to improve upon it even more. As the semester is coming along, I really need to focus on pushing through and finishing strong with a good GPA.

Famous Last Words: Test Weeks

This week and the coming week are super busy ones for me. I had two major tests last week and now 2 this week! I have been a busy bee studying and keeping up with my classes. I am still playing catch up with this course, but I am definitely making progress! My time managing at the beginning of the semester was not good because of getting sick a bunch, but I am definitely improving and working on getting everything together! :)

I will say, it has been harder for me to really get into our new reading the Mahabharata. I really enjoyed reading PDE Ramayana, and I think I just haven't given Mahabharata a fair chance yet. My goal for this coming week is to really focus in on the reading! I know you don't always enjoy or love every thing you read, but I feel like I can definitely get into it more which in turn will make it easier to interpret and work with for my storytelling.

I am super behind on my project... Which I have been making up points with extra credit because I never know where to start since I am so behind. Another major goal for this week is to start on the project early and figure out how to get caught up or at least start fresh on that.

Famous Last Words: Getting Caught Up

This week I finished all parts of the Public Domain Ramayana. I have been behind, and am still behind in this course due to reasons I posted about last week! So I am really working on getting caught up. I am hoping to be completely caught up by the end of this week.

I did my storytelling post as a planning post about the story of the two bird brothers, and I am actually excited to complete my own take on it this week! I think I will be able to do a lot with it.

I enjoyed reading other people’s work this weekend. I haven’t read a story I didn’t like, everyone is so creative! It’s fun seeing what everyone has to say.

Just as in this class, I am playing catch up in my other classes. I have a calc 2 test this week I am super nervous for so I am definitely focusing on that a lot as well. It’s Valentines Day tomorrow which makes me so happy! I actually recently just went through a break up with a boy I had been with for a long time. (Boo). But I am still so excited for V-day. I can’t wait to cuddle with my roomie and friends, and watch romance movies and eat cookies! I have always loved Valentines day, whether I spent it alone or with someone. Valentines doesn’t have to be about romance, just love in general! <3


So I hope to be on track in this class by the end of this week, certainly by next week! I have mapped out my week so that I can dedicate the time needed to this course to complete all the work and extra credit too! The set up of this class is so helpful and structured, so I think that I will be able to catch up with few issues!

Famous Last Words: Surviving Sickness

Okay... So just a little background on my week... Well the first week of classes I ended up in the hospital (for an unknown reason because of abdominal pains). Ever since then, I can't seem to get rid of viruses!
First of all, I never get sick. I am one of the healthiest people you'll meet! But this week I felt bad one day, woke up the next day with a horrible stomach flu. The day after that I woke up with no voice at all! Now it has moved down into my chest into a chest cold...
Needless to say the last couple weeks have been rough, and I have actually fallen behind on this course. I am working on planning out my weeks so that I can get fully caught up on everything.
My reading this past week went well I got some good ideas and enjoyed the stories, but never got to write my own story or complete the second part of the writing. This week is definitely going to be a game of catch up in all my classes. And not the fun kind of game...

One of my favorite parts of this course is getting to read other people's writing. I have never been good at writing, but it's so fascinating to me! I love seeing other people's creativity because I have very little of it! Haha. It is cool how every one has different emotional connections to different things and stories so all the ways that we make ties to create new stories in this process makes every one of our stories so unique and original.

I am excited to get back on track and caught up so that I can really focus on all this course has to offer!
