Wow, it's so crazy that it's the end of the semester already. Junior year is flying by.
This week, I took a ton of time to go look through other people's blogs and see all the cool work everyone has done. I wish I had more time to revise my project, but I'm also happy with the work I did this semester as well. Again, crazy that this is my last post.
I don't think my story for this week (my final story) was my best, but it completed the three aspects of my storybook that I was really wanting to cover. Writing in first person like that was a very new experiment, and one that definitely helped me be more creative in other aspects of my life and academics. Right now I'm working on a 25 page final paper for another class, and I don't think I would have taken some of the creative turns that I have without the brainstorming and processes of this class.
Most of my finals happen during dead week for me this semester, so we're in the home stretch. I've definitely procrastinated on preparing for most of them, but everything will come together–it always does.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get much work done over break because I've been visiting my sister in the hospital. This was frustrating at first, but ultimately I really needed the time off, and it was so nice to be able to focus on being with family for a short time. The waiting time in airports also gave me some down time to catch up on blog comments and other work.
I'm definitely going to miss the freedom that this class gave me to explore what I wanted to and write about what interests me. It was a great experience and one that I hope to continue implementing in other facets of my education.

Hi Rachel!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing this class! Also, so sorry about your sister being in the hospital. I hope she gets well soon! I'm glad you got the time to spend a lot of time with your family. I'm also going to miss the freedom this class gave me. These classes always bring out the creativity in everyone. Good luck on your finals!
