Looking Back

So far, I am content with my progress in this class, but not happy. When I first learned about the structure of this class, I told myself I was going to do all of the extra credit and finish this class way in advanced, and that is simply not happening. I really struggled at first with keeping up with all of the readings and blog posts because I underestimated how long each assignment would take. I have officially changed my personal schedule twice now, but unoffocially, I had a different version that seems to be working for the most part. I am finding the readings the most difficult because it takes me so long to read each part due to how large each section is. It only takes me a few minutes to type of my results, but I am finding I am spending my entire evening just to read one section. Although one evening may not seem like a lot, I work full time and usually have about 5 hours after I get home from work to do my homework before I have to go to bed and do the whole day over again. In terms of developing my blog, I am pretty confident in its overall presentation and aesthetic. As for my website, I am nervous to start writing my stories and am afraid it will add more stress to the week. 

Looking Forward

In the second half of the semester, I want to hit the extra points really hard. I am currently one week ahead of schedule points wise, but I want to eventually finish the class a few weeks in advance. In order to do that, I need to do more extra credit and get ahead in my assignments for the week. For my project, I want to really start working on it and getting ahead rather than just keeping pace with each week's assignments. Hopefully, this week will allow me to do catch up a week and stay caught up for the rest of the semester. I am going to try my best to spread out the readings rather than reading an entire section in one sitting.
