Week 8 Progress

In general, I am quite pleased with my progress in this class. I love the storybook I've been able to make and I do enjoy reading and writing every week. I especially enjoy the weekly storytelling, since it forces me to exercise some creative writing muscles I otherwise might not use. From checking the grading chart, it looks like I'm right on track with 210 points in the middle of Week 8. At this point, I've only missed two reading assignments, but I also haven't gotten a chance to do any extra credit. 

I'm okay with where I am, but I definitely know I could be doing better, especially by staying more on top of my schedule. While my original schedule had me doing work at the beginning of the week, I've found myself putting work off till the day it's due. Moving forward, I need to start fighting procrastination and do my assignments on schedule to really get the most out of them. I also need to take advantage of and try out the extra credit options, since I do have the chance to finish the course early and since they all offer new learning opportunities. With a little more discipline and time management, I'm ready to move forward!

My family members (my parents and my little brother) are my best friends. They live about 900 miles away from me right now in Atlanta, Georgia, where we've been for the last two years, so any time I get to  spend with them is very sweet.  (Image information: personal photo, my friend Devin and me; photo from September 2016) My immediate family isn't my only "family"— my best friend, Devin, has been with me since seventh grade. We're long distance as well, as s...

Week 13 story: Scrapefoot

Anchor: "Aaaand welcome back to Forest News at Five. We've got breaking news for you about a crime in our forest that will make you lock your doors tonight. For more, we go to the scene with reporter Lucy Lion." Lucy: "I'm here at the three bears' castle with some truly startling news. In a neighborhood most assumed to be safe, the bears have seen otherwise today. Let's hear from the bear family now on the disturbing occurrence that took place here just hours ago." Mother bear: "It was terrifying. When we got back from our wonderful afternoon picnic, I realized our castle's front door was open just a crack, and that's where the trouble started."  Father bear: "When we walked in, I saw my son's chair was all broken down and clearly sat in, but that was only the beginning of what this hooligan did to our beautiful home." Lucy: "The three bears report that on returning home, they found out that not on...
