Famous Last, Famous Last Words (Week 15)

For this last famous last words assignment, I decided to have it as somewhat as a smorgasbord of all the different topics.  Also I threw in another pic of my cat because why not?

Your best writing for this class.
I felt like this last storybook was one of my better writings for this class.  After I had gone and looked at my older storybook assignments, it felt like as the semester progressed, each story I had put in there became more and more of my own.  For example, I felt like my first two entries were more of me copying and pasting my narrator into the situation whereas I felt like my last two were a bit more personal.

Other people's writing.
When I went through everyone else's storybooks for the last internet assignment, I was a little disheartened because all of the entries I had enjoyed earlier on didn't complete their storybooks.  I think out of the four or five storybooks that I frequented usually, just two really finished their assignment.  And both of those two that finished, one of them hastily drew their conclusion together and the other one, although he had all of his entries in, said that he was going to conclude his story in another entry.  I know that my storybook isn't perfect, but I wish that people at least saw their storybook through to the end.

Your other classes.
This week has been pretty frustrating for me at school because I've had three finals this week.  I know that instructors try to spread things out so we don't have everything within the same couple days but it didn't work out.  Now all I have is one exam Monday morning and then I am done.

Outside of school.
Not much is really going on, but of course I had to watch the Peter Pan Live! deal with Christopher Walken as Captain Hook.  It was wonderfully terrible.  Also, I saw a movie trailer for a new Disney Movie called  Into the Woods that reminds me of something that we would read in here.

Week 7 Famous Last Words

After a long and busy week with projects, essays, tests, and quizzes, I decided to do the famous last words project since I have a free evening.  This week, I felt like I wrote my best work in the storybook based on your (Laura's) comments and looking back it again on my first submission.  I'm glad I have a break from writing in the storybook though because I feel like anything I would write now would be from a tired, weary me.  The main thing I picked up from this week was that I need to be aware of my word choices in the entire scheme of my writing because I use words pretty repetitively. 

In other classes, I have been busier than a one-armed clothes hanger having two group projects, two exams, and a quiz all within this last week.  The one connection I have noticed between this class and my others is that for my class Wellness in Native Communities, we have to use an old story used by Native Americans for a specific food.  The readings I did in there reminded me a lot of how we read through different myths and folk tales for this class.

Outside of school, I managed to finally go home for the weekend after a month or two.  It was good for me to go home and see my family because I normally see them all the time and this long spree of staying in Norman was wearing me out.  I went out and ate with my family and went to the casino with my dad.  My sister and I watched Saturday Night Live and caught up, albeit we did butt heads because she is greedy with the remote and won't let me watch anything.  For the most part however, I just lazed around the house, recuperating from the madness of last week.
