Famous Last Word: Almost over

For last week I was able to connect with a few more people who I hadn’t really meet in this class. I honestly thought that I had read everyone’s intro but that hasn’t been the case. I read the last part to a few of my favorite storybook this year and I was happy to be able to finish those up this past weekend! The Learn by Heart this week I think has benefited me because I am a procrastinator and I did time for this challenge. I was able to learn how to take breaks so that I can set myself up for success rather than failure in getting motivated to study and complete assignments!

Well we are entering into Dead week and my pretty happy about it honestly. It has felt like a pretty short semester but at the same time it has been kind of long. Pretty much all of my classes have been over since last week we are just going and listening to lecture and waiting for the inevitable to happen when we hit finals week. I think for the most part the hardest thing I will need to focus on will be studying for finals and making the most out of dead week. It helps that all the football for this semester is over so I don't have to look forward to going to a game. That kind of sucks but I'm ready to be over with dead week and finals week!

Hopefully by this time next week I will be prepared to do really well on my final test and be done with the semester! I only have 3 final test so for the most part if I can just schedule my time correctly I should be able to get a lot of studying done!

Famous Last Words: Thanksgiving Break

This is the first time I am doing one of these post so here we go! Better late than never right?!

Through going through and doing extra commenting I found a lot of people that I hadn’t read their introduction yet. I thought it was very interesting to read their intro after being able to read a lot of their throughput the semester. I think a few of their writing style definitely showed through what they have experienced personally. I was also able to go back and read some storybooks that I haven’t been able to follow up with in a while and I thought they were awesome! I really liked the storybook about “The House to a Wife of Many”. This was a story book that I was only able to read the intro in the first few weeks and this past week I was able to read the entire thing!

Outside of school this week was Thanksgiving break so that was a great time! I was really able to have a much needed break from school to get motivated to push through the last bit! My sister and her husband were able to come up and see my family from Tennessee for the first time since the summer and I really enjoyed their company! I was also able to see my grandma for the first time since last spring so it was great that she was able to stay at our house for 3 or so day! Overall it was a great break of being able to see family, friends, and enjoy eating a lot of food. The only thing is that I didn’t get to do as much homework as I wanted to get down over the break. I guess that is what break is really about, just avoiding homework for a few days until you have to rush and finish all in the last day. (=
