Famous Last Words: Just Another Week

The readings were great this week! I was so sad that I had to narrow it down to just one reading unit. All of them were so interesting and the part that took me the longest was deciding which unit I wanted to go with. I ended up reading a majority of them before I could finally decide which one I wanted to stick with. I remembered the Aesop’s Fables unit the best because each one ends in a nice summed up moral of the story. I also ended up reading both the one by Winter and Jacobs. The best writing I have done this week is definitely for this class. The only other papers I have had to write are my lab reports for my science classes and essays for my perspectives on U.S. economic policies class which were tiresome. I really do enjoy reading and writing for this class, I consider it more of a destressing activity rather than work I have to do. I like to listen to music and relax on one of the couches in the library in the morning while writing. I read such amazing stories from other students in the class. I especially liked one that was retelling a story from Aesop’s fables because the fables are usually so short and the person did a wonderful job of adding detail, dialogue, and scenes before and after the original version. The story was so captivating that it left me wanting to read more. I’m starting to get a handle on my other classes, I was overwhelmed before and seemed forever behind but I’m starting to catch up. There aren’t really any connections between this class and my other classes because I’m taking mostly all science classes and labs. I hope to manage my time more wisely next week to get ahead.
