Week 8: Progress

1. Looking Back: I'm fairly happy with my progress thus far in the class, and am working on a goal of completing it before Thanksgiving Break so that I can spend more time on other classwork. My routine could use some work, as I haven't maintained the week or two ahead that I intended to, and as a result have been swamped by assignments during the week and unable to maintain the Reading/Story schedule in particular. To fix this I'm getting ahead today, and doing a lot of extra credit. The class assignments I enjoy the most are the Stories and offering Feedback in the form of comments for others in the class, as I love love love to see their creativity at work and read the funny, interesting, and unique takes on the mythology that they come up with. My website is going well and my favorite thing about my writing is the sense of humor I try to incorporate, as well as my sense of flow.

2. Looking Forward: I want to do the Readings on Sunday/Monday in advance, and get ahead in this class. I also want to avoid the pitfall of letting this class fall on the wayside for the mid-week assignments, and have a new plan for how I'm going to be writing my Reading Notes differently. I wrote more about this in the past Week 7 Back Up/Review assignment, and delineated some of my intentions in more detail. 

It's hard to believe we're in Week 8 already, yet simultaneously feels like it's been longer...I'd better buckle up for the second half of pre-Thanksgiving break classes, and keep ready for the next wave of midterms quickly approaching.
