Week 10, Famous Last Words

I have been doing well in this class mainly because of the extra credit opportunities, it makes it more flexible when I get to do my work and if was busy and missed an assignment, I can make up the points using extra credit. I am planning on finishing up this class by the end of next wee. Hopefully everything will go according to plan. Having to read others storybook and storytelling helps a lot in being able to improve my writing skills. For example I had a hard time figuring out how to include conversations in my storybook. When I read other people’s storybook it helped me understand how to include conversations in my stories efficiently. In addition, the resources provided by the instructor have been very helpful too.  I have been skipping a lot of reading diaries because I had midterms, I finally started on readings and I liked my new readings. I like how they are divided in for each week diary A and Diary B, because that makes it easier for me to keep track of my reading.  My other classes have been crazy. I already had about 3-4 exams in last two weeks. The amount of studies I had to finish for those classes were crazy. Thank goodness it is done. My main goal to finish this class early is because I know I wont be having enough time to finish up my studies and if I can get this class out of the way, I should do it, so it is less stress when the dead week comes around. My hardest class now is molecular. Even though it is hard I really enjoy studying for that class. I feel like I know more about our cells and body more when I study for it. 

Staying Busy

Week 8: Famous last words

This week, we didn’t really have any readings. Which was somewhat nice because it was a good break from all the readings we have been doing so far. I have not done my storybook project yet, which is probably going to affect my grade a little bit. However, I am planning to finish it by tomorrow. So, I will be only loosing two points and I can make it up by doing more extra credit. This week has been crazy because I had so much home works due and midterm exams coming up. I have been reading other people’s storybook this week and it really inspires me to write a better storybook and go beyond my ability to make mine better. Reading other people’s storybook, It also gives me more ideas to make mine better. So far, I am having to drop one of my class. It is one of my hard class, and I don’t think I will be having time to focus on that class too since I am working a lot more than I was in the beginning of semester. I used to work 20 hours a week, now I am doing about 29 hours a week and occasionally taking up a baby sitting job. Since midterms are this week, it is really stressful. Other than that, all my classes are going alright. Only class that requires a lot of writing is this class. I had a good break of not doing the reading diaries, now I am actually looking forward to reading more stories and doing the reading diaries. That was one of my favorite part in this class, other than working on my project, storybook.

Week 7, Famous Last Words

Reading this week hasn’t been as productive. I missed one of the reading diaries for this week, and had to skim through the readings. Next week I am planning on reading everything ahead. So this will not happen again. I have finished a lot of extra credit this week. I am planning on doing some more extra credits for next week if I end up finishing this week’s assignment early. It seems like I might be able to get done with this week’s assignments early. Only class that actually required writing is this class, so my best writing is indeed in this class. I am wanting to improve my writing skills, for that I realized doing my writing last minute will not help, I will have to start my writing early and go back,  re- read and edit it at least two times. I have read other people’s story telling this and last week. It is very interesting to read everyone’s stories because each person has a different writing style and one can learn and get new ideas by reading other’s writings. One of my favorite is reading the storytelling of my classmate/ friend Davis. He adds a lot of inside jokes and relate the stories to his friends (he sometimes even includes their name).             Since I missed class on Friday and Monday in order to go to New York, I was behind on a lot of school work, so I am finally catching up on those. I just took two exams just this week. One on Tuesday and other one was Wednesday. My exam on Wednesday was really hard. For next exam, I plan on studying at least three weeks ahead. It was that hard. Only work I have left for this week is project feedback, project and blog comments.
