Week 8 Progress

     Looking back over my progress and comparing it to the "Progress Chart", I am very happy with my stance in the course right now. I am on the right track to achieve an A and I am satisfied with that amongst other things that I am getting out of this class. I feel that I have been able to be on this track because I have set myself on a good weekly schedule. Usually in my other classes I find it very hard to create a "study schedule", but this class has taught me to organize better. My schedule also makes it so that my "favorite" class assignments are at the end of the week, a little breather from my weekly assignments. I do enjoy working on my portfolio project and getting the chance to read other students' progress as well.        Since I have been able to create a sufficient weekly schedule that corresponds well with my workload in other classes, I do not see myself making many changes this upcoming half of the semester.

Personally, one of my favorite things about this class is to read other students' opinions on what I have written and getting to hear what suggestions they have.

I am glad that over the first half the semester I was able to stay on top of all of my assignments and have good time management. I am happy with my blog and my project website, I think it represents myself well. I have been able to show some personality through my writing and I believe that has also made me grow as a writer. I consider my overall storytelling ability to be my biggest accomplishment in the this class. In the past I have never been a very creative person in terms of making up a fictional story, and I am glad this class is "forcing" me to do that. It has really taught me that I am able to do that. This picture is probably my favorite image from my past posts. I chose this because it represents one of my favorite and most enjoyable stories I have written, and it connects the class to my love for Harry Potter.
