Wow, half of the semester has already gone by and I feel
like I just started the year! I can’t
believe how much I’ve already done this semester, especially in this class
alone! I’ve started a blog, written six stories on my own, and started a
storybook webpage. I can’t believe it! Well, I guess it’s time to look back at what I’ve
done so far!
I’ve liked all of the stories that I have written so far
this semester, but I have a favorite of course.
My favorite story was The Human Child of a Mother-Wolf. I thought it
was fun to rewrite the story and give it a darker tone. The stories from that week were all about
animals and saints, but the animals were always being helpful. I thought it was a much more interesting idea
to have the wolf help the child, but only because she saw something that she
could get out of it!
Of course, my favorite stories to read so far have been the
Grimm Fairy Tales that I have done for my extra readings. I didn’t realize that several of the stories I
grew up reading were actually Grimm stories! One of my favorite books as a
child was The Twelve Dancing Princesses.
In fact, I still have the book in my closet at home! I loved the story
and the pictures in the book, but I never thought that it was written by the
Grimm brothers!
Over the semester so far, I have been doing my assignments
at my desk at home or in my boss’s office at work. A few times, thanks to the faulty wifi at
work, I’ve done my assignments at Panera Bread as well. I like to have a designated space to do my
work and don’t like to have big distractions.
I can’t do my work in my living room or at the public library because I get
easily distracted! I’ve tried to stay a little ahead in the class when I can,
but as the semester goes on that is getting more and more difficult! I just can’t
seem to stay on top of everything! Time always seemed to fly when I was working on this class's assignments though, no matter how busy I was.
I’m proud of my work in this class so far and hope that it
continues to go well!
