Week 8 Reading and Writing

When looking back at my past blog posts and reading notes, I am eager to improve. I have noticed a slight decline in my notes, however reflecting back has really brought a lot to my attention. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to do so. I have really enjoyed reading the different readings because they are all so different and there is a variety of unique readings, which gives me excitement for what is to come. I have struggled a little with reading notes because I genuinely enjoy the majority of the readings, but I have come up with a new revised plan that I think will help tremendously. I have a hard time picking out a specific favorite reading, but if I had to choose out of all them, I would say the Tibet Folk Tales were my favorite. The main reason why I enjoy the reading notes is because when I go to write my story, I have a context and brief overview what I read. It helps bring me back to what I was feeling when I originally read the story.

Now that I have looked back on my semester, I have gotten the opportunity to think about what is to come! As I stated earlier, there is a lot that I know I need to improve on. I think the main concern I have noticed in the past is that I used to put things off a little. From now on, I know that I need to get the readings and notes accomplished as soon as I can. That will take a lot of stress off of me and will ensure that I improve in this class. I have noticed that the reading notes have helped more than I used to think. With this, I will spend more time on the notes so that when I go to write my story, I have more details to work with, instead of having to reread the original story. I have not been feeling the best which has correlated to my work, but I am determined to work on this and come out better!
