Famous Last Words: Second Wind

This week has been a very busy one. I've had midterms, big papers and big assignments all due. I also started a new online class that's only half of the semester. It's going to be pretty fast-paced, so I have to start being more organized and being on top of all my schoolwork.

I've been slacking off the last couple of weeks in a couple classes because I have a big project coming up that I've been putting all of my time and effort into. This week though, I've started doing more in all my classes to make sure my grades will be good.

For my Myth-Folklore class this week I read some really interesting stories. My favorite story, and the one that I retold this week, was titled Uraschimataro and the Turtle. From when I first read it, I knew it was going to be a favorite and possibly the one I wanted to focus on. I think my writing for this story was one of my better ones. I like the way that it turned out, and I also enjoyed writing it. I've done a lot of reading of other peoples' projects and stories this week. I did extra credit commenting and came across some wonderful stories. I think it's beneficial for me because other students give me ideas for my future writing. There are endless possibilities to the different techniques that other students use.

Outside of class, I've been working a lot this week. I was also sick this past weekend and the beginning of the week, so it has been a bit of a struggle to be motivated and get my work done. I'm excited that we're on the last half of the semester, all I need now is the motivation from my second wind to complete it!
