Twenty-three more actual class days before the end of the semester. WHEW!! I have officially begun to count them down. This week has went fairly well. I have to admit I have felt like I wasn't going to make it at times. I had to go again and visit Van. I lost my mojo somehow or another. I got it back though. Seems like she can always stimulate my creativity even though she is only asking me what I want to say with my MRP. It's funny how I can just talk to her and then she says,"OK, this is what I am hearing..." I am the one saying the ideas so why can't I hear them for myself? Oh well, I guess two heads IS better than one. I was totally against the journal entry as one of my genres but on Friday I thought to myself...Self, what the heck...it won't kill you to try it. I tried it and it worked. It was much easier putting someone elses feelings (pretend Landon's pretend mom) in a journal than my own. I wrote it on Friday and thought about it over the weekend...the more I read it the more I liked it and was satisfied with my results. So now it can be viewed as Genre 6 on my MRP. I did however make a few revisions. I originally wrote it as a regular journal but then today I changed it because I thought alot of new parents keep a journal to their baby or write their child letters to read once they have grown up. I had to do a little change here and there to make it seem more real. I am proud of my results though, who would have "THUNK" it, Cindy writing a journal when she is not forced to! I have not really used any new methods for the latest genre. I have been doing some work for my Powerpoint though this week. Can't wait to get started on that. I reviewed my groups work earlier in the week and didn't get a chance to write anything so today I reviewed again...looks like they have been working on them already. It is neat to see someone elses work. I even viewed a couple other classmates work too just out of curiousity.
I don't really have any new questions. Once I start the powerpoint I am sure a few will pop up. My goal for next week is just to do my PP and the rest of my assignments without stressing out. Things in the 315 area seem to be getting better. Wish I could say the same for Spanish...test tomorrow...ugh!! Talk to you next week dear journal!!
