Famous Last Words: Mythology, Spanish, Moving, Spring - Week 4

I feel like I'm doing pretty well in Mythology and Folklore so far. I've rather enjoyed it and I think it is really helping me fine tune my creative writing abilities.

The reading this week went pretty smoothly for me. I found a story that almost instantly sparked my creative engines and inspired a story that I feel very proud of ("Amelia's Wisdom"). I honestly think it is one of the best things I have ever written. My story was actually based, however loosely, off of the very first story in the unit I chose to read this week ("Folktales of Bengal") but I still read the entire unit, part A and part B. I've made a promise to myself to complete both parts EVERY week this semester and so far I've held myself to it but the semester is still young, so we'll see how that ends up going! 

I've always loved to write and I really want to write a novel (I've actually have started writing one but it hasn't got too far as school work trumps "pleasure" writing). I'm really excited to have the opportunity for this class, because it allows me to read lots of stories and write my own for CREDIT!!! That's pretty cool, because I would ordinarily not have time to read and write this much during a semester. Then, on my down time where I don't have classes, I always try to cram in as much reading as I can and never think it's enough. So, this class solves that problem! I'm hoping to complete this class 3 weeks early and I'm pretty well ahead right now. I'm hoping to be able to take the time this week to figure out exactly how much extra work I need to do weekly in order to finish that far ahead. 

Spanish class is going "okay", I suppose. I earned a 100% on my first composition but I got some conjugations mixed up on my first quiz and failed that miserably. I don't believe I did well on my listening exam either (although I haven't received a grade yet), so I'm really frustrated about that. I'm struggling with the "communication" aspect of the class (actually carrying on a conversation), so I'm looking into options to help me improve my confidence and ability to carry on a flowing conversation in Spanish. I'm hoping to get a couple of people that are willing to just chat back and forth with me in Spanish to help. 

I can't believe we're moving in 19 days. I also can't believe we only have like 5 boxes packed. We're going to have to work on that. Lol. Hoping to pack at least 2 boxes a night from now on! 

That's about the gist of things for me this week... Hopefully things will just keep getting better and I can stay as motivated as I am right now throughout the semester!

PS
I feel like this image about sums things up. LOL. Really, I just don't have enough hours in my day and end up putting things off because I literally couldn't do them (most of the time)...
