Reflections: Looking Forward

In regards to writing, I want to be more diverse in my writing style. I also have noticed a common problem with grammar that I really want to make an effort to improve on. Furthermore, I want to really try to work ahead. It is so hard for me to work ahead right now because I am applying to law school, graduating this semester, and getting married all within this school year. I have a lot on my plate so it is hard to get ahead in all of my classes, but I want to work on it. I have been working on this class at home and I still want to do that in the future. But I wan to also make more time to work on the extra credit assignments.

We Can Do It

Reflections: Looking Back

I have had a really fun time writing for this class. I have had fun exploring different writing styles. My absolute favorite story that I have written is the first story of my portfolio Till Death Do Us Part. From this story I decided to focus on stories that weren't explored clearly in the text.

My favorite reading has been the Ramayana and I really liked the movie Sita Sings the Blues. That movie really left a big impression on me. This story inspired me to explore a possible different ending for the Ramayana. I learned that I prefer stories with a little romance and are about more than just fighting.

Writing

I haven't ever done an online class before, so this has been a new experience for me. But I have really enjoyed getting to know people online through this class. I also really like reading the different stories online.

I normally work on the class Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. I will usually work an hour or two each of those days. I have used this schedule the entire semester and it works for me.

I think one of the most important things that I have learned is that I am capable of being creative and writing well.
