thoughts on assignments

Wow!

Reading all of the assignments we are getting the opportunity to work on has me really excited as it is unlike any course I have taken before. Since I took my English courses in high school, I have not had a writing class in a long time and I enjoy writing a lot. I tried to start up a blog, but I didn't have anything to hold myself accountable, so it didn't last long. I am hoping this class will get me back in the swing of things as this used to be one of my favorite hobbies.

I am definitely most intrigued by the storytelling assignment. I know that it will difficult at first as I am a perfectionist, but, once I get the hang of it, I know it will be a blast. I am a little worried about the project as they seem so intricate, but I am sure the nerves will calm as I get more familiar with the assignment. 

This course is different from my other courses because there is so much room for creative thinking. Being a science major, I have not been able to take a course that allows for this much creativity. I thrive when I am given the freedom to think without boundaries, so I am excited to see what I can create throughout this semester.

As far as extra credit goes, many of them interest me. I have been on the Public Relations/Communications team for Class Council since freshman year and think that I can increase my part by learning some tech tips. I also think this will help me in the future with my own blog. I also see myself getting lost in Wikipedia Trails as I do that all the time anyway  Growth Mindset and HEART interest me as I am always looking for ways to better myself and what better opportunity then now when I am receiving credit at the same time! Extra commenting also seems like something I will do as I love to read other's work in order to get my own gears turning. Finally, Famous Last Words and Back-Up and Review seem like a great way to ensure I stay on track this semester while also getting points.
