Famous Last Words: Running on Fumes

Hey guys, it's been a minute since my last "Famous Last Words" post. It is because my schedule has been so hectic! Between three tests and two projects all happening in a span of two weeks, I will admit that I have been forced to put this class on the back burner. I really hate this because I really do enjoy this class and all the readings. For this week's readings, I have read a number of Tibetan folktales and have really enjoyed them, since they employ the trickster archetype so much. to make up for my missed reading this week, I also chose to review a few other of Aesop's fables, this time the ones written by Milo Winter. His stories were just as fun as the other fables, and I was quite surprised by just how many stories there were!

I am happy with my writing for this week, due to the sole fact that I was actually able to complete it! I have high hopes for it, and I am considering posting it to my portfolio. I've posted several times that I am trying to emulate other writers' ability to incorporate a lesson into their stories, but I am currently having a hard time doing it. Everybody's feedback has been super helpful, so I am counting on you guys to help better this story!

As for next week, I am just trying to survive at this point! I'm not averaging much sleep and am doing as much extra credit right now so that I may have some padding for the eventual brick wall of tests and projects that will no doubt show up during our final push to the end. As you can tell from my title, I am exhausted and really am trying to muster the strength for the final push, as I am sure that others are trying to do as well.

Wish me luck!

    Hi Kevin! I am right there with you in the fact that I am racking up extra credit now. I had my busy week last week and ended up getting sick and was stuck in bed with a 102 fever (until it was time to get take my tests). I fell behind during that time, but am catching up now. I hope that your busy week goes well!!

    Hi Kevin! I totally understand how hectic school can get at times. I’m in 17 hours this semester, and I’ve never taken so many hours at once. It can get crazy. It looks like you have a solid plan on staying on top of things. We just have to take one thing at a time, and it all works out in the end. Good luck!
