Diving into Mythology

The acronym I came up with is: L ive I t F earlessly E very single day This acronym hits home for me because sometimes I find myself not doing something or not doing something to the best of my ability because I fear what may happen. I also sometimes fear about my future and what it all holds. This acronym reminds me to not fear and just live life every single day no matter what. I did not create a graphic for the acronym because I am not very creative.

Ever since the University started to use canvas, I have been exploring it and figuring out all of the details behind the dashboard page. One thing that I have done that has really helped me is changed the color card of my courses to match up with the color I write with in my planner for my course. This helped me to stay very organized and not mix up my classes and due dates. The tech tip did teach me that I can turn off the color on the cards that have an image. I did not know this and will be doing this right away. Overall, canvas dashboard is pretty easy to work. It also allows you to customize your dashboard, which I really like.

Looking back, I am very happy with my progress so far in this class. For the most part I have a routine of doing a lot of work for this class on Sunday and finishing the rest of the work for the week in my free time. Right now, I am ahead on the points because I have done some of the extra credit offered. Looking forward, I am definitely going to try and stay ahead especially with the end of the semester approaching a lot faster that I think. I am going to focus on doing 2 extra credit assignments each week along with the assignments due. I also need to be aware of my school schedule for the week and alter my work time for this class depending on that. Sometimes I find myself getting behind because I am focusing more on my other classes. Dog Memes

Overall, I feel really good about the feedback I am receiving in this class. I really find some of the comments to be helpful. I like when students leave feedback specifically about how to make my stories better and correcting my mistakes including my grammar and punctuation. I feel like I am leaving quality feedback for other students. I do feel like there are some stories that I can leave better feedback based on my knowledge of the topic. I also enjoy giving feedback because it helps me to better my stories in the future. The blog comments are actually really helpful in getting to know my classmates and their personalities. Looking forward, I would like to make sure I really focus on the feedback including giving others ideas for future stories as well as focus on the structural aspects of the stories. This is the feedback I enjoy, therefore I need to give it to other people as well. Right now, I am happy with my blog and portfolio. ( cheezburger )

Looking back, I have actually really enjoyed the reading and writing assignments each week. At first, I was taking notes on the readings that were not helpful to me when writing my stories. As time went on, I learned how to take notes that helped me write my stories. One of my favorite readings I have done is the stories about Sindbad and his adventures. I liked these readings because they were very interesting and followed a story line. Below I have attached a picture from one of the reading notes I did. I chose this picture because this is what I imagined Sindbad's ship to look like during his voyages. I feel like this picture helped me to further understand the voyages of Sindbad. Looking forward, there is nothing that I feel like needs to change. I am excited to do more readings and gather creative ideas for my stories and my portfolio. Ship at Sea
