 I am content with my progress thus far into the semester, as I feel like assignments such as the story revisions help me not only improve my writing and creative thoughts, but also my grammar and overall syntax that is extremely useful for improving since it is applicable everywhere. I think I am most proud of my first story that has been revised multiple times now. I feel like I have established a secure weekly schedule of knowing when to do assignments and not letting them sneak past me very often, or at all. I always do them at night as I feel like these assignments are a good way to unwind. I like class assignments like these, where I am reflecting on my semester. I can get a good understanding of how it going by writing my thoughts down as such. I have used some of the extra credit assignments as well, but I save them usually for the week I have missed an assignment. I have done a few assignments out of interest of the topics of those extra credit assignments, though. I feel ...

 I think the comments I am getting are wonderful! Normally, when students are assigned to give feedback to other students, it's just to get it done and sometimes it does not have real value. I feel like in this course, however, since it's not about discussion posts, but rather stories and introduction posts, there is more interest from student to student. This means there is genuine criticism from my peers, and it really helps me improve and learn a lot about new people. This goes the same for my feedback out, where I actually have an interest in giving feedback, so I give much more genuine feedback. I think the blog set up is really great. I can always go back to someone's blog if I liked their story or wanted to get to know them better through their discussion posts; if I wanted to keep reading their stories if I liked their writing, I could easily go back. It is really helpful with them having introduction posts, as well, as it lets me get to know much more about them in...

 I feel very good about the reading and writing assignments. I took the Indian Epics class with the same schedule last semester, and I feel like this semester I am more on top of things. I also feel like a lot of what I learned last semester in terms of my writing transferred over very well into this class. I like the design of my blog much more as well as my project website. The writing comes to me a lot easier after reading other students' writing as I am inspired with both their writing and blog designs. My biggest accomplishment would have to be how I have learned to not only understand old myths, but also to relate them to my life in a way that I can write stories about them (especially since a lot of my renditions of the myths take place in universities). My favorite reading would have to be The Odyssey .  My reading notes have been pretty helpful, but a lot of the time I just draw from memory. The reading notes help me make sure I get the details correct. I need to mak...
