Famous Last Words - Week 1

It's now Thursday morning and I'm still waiting to be able to actually complete everything from Week 1, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to reflect on what I've encountered over the past week with this course.

Due to some technical snafus with the university, I didn't actually get enrolled in this class until Tuesday and found myself to be a little bit daunted by the amount of work that I found in front of me. That being said,  I finished most of the week's work in about a day and a half. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was a flexible schedule online class. This works so well for me because I am a full time student and also have two jobs. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to finish this class early - maybe even set this up as an 8 week course! (OK, that may be a little too ambitious, but, hey, Growth Mindset, right?)

It will be interesting balancing this class with my others. I am taking Introduction to Nutrition to FINALLY fulfill the last of my science credits before graduation. In addition to this, I am also taking two Russian Literature courses. This adds up to about 20 hours of reading outside of class for all of my classes! I've always found ways to manage before, so I'm sure I'll do it again.

My favorite part of this class so far has been the opportunity to do some of my own storytelling. I used to write when I was much younger, but ended up having this hobby dwindle due to not having much time. It was really fun to just create my own world and adventures.

I also enjoyed flipping through the blogs created by other students and reading about everyone in their introductions and learning about everyone's favorite places. It shows just how big, but also just how small the world really is!
