Reflections: Looking Back

I would have to say my favorite writings that I did were my most recent ones called "Love Lost, Love Found," and "The Letter." The more I write, the more I believe I improve and I was pretty satisfied with those two stories. Of course, there's always room to improve even more on those stories but I feel that I at least have a good start. I'm enjoying my portfolio project so far. I love being able to see it grow and having the chance to revise my stories multiple times so that it can be better than before. I'm happy with the theme I chose and I really like getting to write multiple love stories just in different ways. I've seen so many (and I mean a lot) of great storybooks and portfolios so far this year. It's amazing seeing how talented and creative my fellow classmates are! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing their projects develop and reading their stories as well.

I enjoy having the class fully online. I like online classes personally. I think it's good to switch it up a bit rather than the normal class setting. Regardless of it not being physically on campus, I, for sure, feel like I'm getting to know my classmates. It's nice having the blog comments each week because I'm able to get to know different people every week. The commenting, in general, is nice because faces, names, and blogs, become more familiar.

My schedule changes around a bit because I'm still juggling different things due at different times for all of my other classes. There's not much homework in my other classes, but there's a lot of studying for tests and quizzes that are either scattered or very close to each other. However, I usually try to get a couple of days ahead. If I'm unexpectedly really busy, I usually do this class on a day to day basis. If I know I'm going to be busy studying for a test(s) during a certain week, then I try to get the majority of the upcoming week done during the weekend. Then, I'll finish the rest the next weekend, and start the next week as well (that felt really confusing to type, and I bet it sounds that way too).

When I work on this class 80% of the time it's in the school library, Bizzell. The other 20% of time, I work at in my apartment. I feel that these are the best places for me to do my work because it's usually really quiet which helps me to relax, clear my thoughts, and think better.
