Time is sure flying by fast! We are technically done with Week 6, and many of us are already preparing for a second midterm.
For my readings, this week I chose Sinbad's Seven Voyages. Despite being an animated movie that was popular when I was a child, I knew nothing about this story. However, after reading just the first two stories, I was hooked and finished the whole week's reading within one day. For those of you who are fans of The Odyssey, I am sure you will enjoy this story.
Due to my love for Sinbad's story, this week's storytelling assignment just flowed naturally for me. I had Tom Hanks fill the role of Sinbad and had his "voyages" just be some of his most famous movies such as Saving Private Ryan and Sully. Needless to say, I am happy with this selection and I am sure that I will include this story in my portfolio.
For my other classes, it has been a whirlwind. I have already had two tests for my two upper-level math courses, so I am drained. On top of that, I have had to churn out a new coding project each week, which has everybody in my class on edge! Fortunately, I have the mentality of, "If everybody else is as well, it isn't so bad that I am drowning." This is one of those semesters that you tell yourself that you just have to muster enough strength to get through it.
Outside of school, I have just been trying to find time to relax and play some video games, but I do not know when things will ever slow down! With football in full swing and basketball starting up soon, I am hoping to be able to catch some of my favorite games on television, if time permits.
For next week, I hope to stay on top of my other classes. So far, there will be no tests next week, so I should have a lot of prep time for all of my classes. Wish me luck!
Hi Kevin! Good luck with staying on top of everything next week! It sounds like you have a jam-packed schedule! For me, my goal is to get ahead this upcoming week as I have an exam the following week that I know will send me behind in some classes. You coding class sounds like my physics 2 lab at the moment. There is always some glitch in the lab and everyone seems to be agitated all the time. It's never fun to have a class that's mentally exhausting like that!
ReplyDeleteKeep pushing through and I'm sure it will all be worth it once you reach your goals. You will be able to tell others about how you overcame this tough semester and maybe even laugh about it!
