Week 8 Progress

The thing I am most proud of is creating stories. I never thought that I would be able to write stories ever but after this class it seems pretty easy. Since I am using my reading notes it makes it a bit easier but I still feel like I am doing it myself. As of now my weekly routine hasn't been going that well but I feel like I can still turn it around if I start to do more of the extra credit assignments. I do think that my website is turning out good but my blog could use some work. Things I want to avoid is putting things off until the end of the week. At the beginning of the semester I was doing really well because I was finishing everything on time but now I have slowly fallen behind. "In the dark I see the light," Source

I am happy with my blog because I feel like it gives a good sense of background about me. I don't think I want to make any changes to my feedback except just being a little bit more critical so that I can help the writer. I don't...

If I had done most of my reading then I would be more proud of my blog but I am hoping by the end of the class I will have a good amount of readings and stories done. As far as my website goes I am really proud the way that is turning out. I didn't think I would be able to do it but I like to focus on it a lot more now. At first it intimidated me but now I like the challenge of creating a story. My favorite part of this class is the portfolio because I know when I finish I will have all these stories I created myself all together. When I first started this class I was afraid that I would not be able to make stories because it's something I had never done before but I like writing them now. My favorite reading so far has to be Homer's Odyssey because I had never read it before but I knew it was famous. As soon as I read it I realized why it was so famous. The reading notes that I have don...
