Reflections: Looking Forward

(Inspirational Pic)

One main thing I would change is finding a way to have more time to put into my schoolwork here during the weekend. I travel with the OU football team and work all weekend so it is really difficult to find time. I edit on my computer all of their footage on the way back because they want to see it as soon as possible. The thing is I am exhausted by that point and in no shape to do homework. So, here is my solution. I am going to start getting up early in the morning on weekends so I can just get all of my homework done and have enough time to do it well. I have read about many people who do the thing they have the least amount of time for in the morning and it has changed that aspect of their life drastically. 

This is just a small thing, but I think I am going to try and be more inspirational to others and myself on some posts. I think it will increase my morale and hopefully others too. I am so tired all the time because I constantly do homework and have my other jobs. So, I will start to put small little inspiring quotes or messages here and there I think for the class to see. This will be therapeutic for me because I like helping people and it’s a positive message I can take in also. I do not have time to go help people like I used to. Its time to get creative! These may sound like small things, but let me say they are huge impacts on my life. My time is precious and these tips will help me use it wisely. 

Week 8 Reflections: Looking Back

Alice and Rabbit in Eden is by far what I have loved the most about this semester. I have learned how to be creative much more and performed on a higher level in my daily writing. This story started out truly as a joke. I thought it was not going to work. I took an idea though and just went with what I though was funny. As a result, I have now set up a series of time traveling stories, which I believe are some of the most fun pieces I have ever written. I encourage you to go to my portfolio guide at the top and see the next story! It is called finding Beowulf. I promise it is worth your time! 

I have figured out what schedule works for me even though it is daily work. I have no other option, but to do it daily since I work everyday and weekends. I also have class every morning and night. I have successfully made it through though! 

I have really enjoyed working with the class also! Everyone has been extremely helpful and I have taken their comments to heart applying them to my writing. 

Overall I am in a great place this semester at this point!
