Famous Last Words: Barely Made it

The reading was wonderful this week! It was really difficult for me to decide on just one unit to read from last week and it made me so much happier this week to be able to choose from another unit to read. I had enough time to do both portions of the reading because I worked ahead and read when I had time before I became really busy during the week. I remember the trickster stories the best from Aesop’s fables. I think all of the trickster stories are so interesting because there’s always a cunning and sly character and we get to see how they try to get what they want or we see someone else trick the trickster. My best writing this week was in this class for sure! The only other writing I had to do was a long lab report for my microbiology lab. I haven’t tried writing with a different style but I really enjoyed my story this week. I just relax and listen to music while I write to get into the writer’s groove. My favorite stories that I read this week by others were the ones retelling the stories of Odysseus. One of the stories combined multiple parts of the adventure and added more details while the other did a gender flip. The gender flip stuck with me the most because the story didn’t seem incomplete. The story had a beginning that showed a background of how the main character came to be the person he or she is today. Then the story ends leaving you wanting to read more because the story was set up so nicely. My other classes are becoming more and more stressful as the semester goes on. I have only been taking power naps this week rather than actually getting a good amount of sleep.

The struggle of getting through the week: Sizzle
