The End

This class is basically over and I want to reflect on the semester. I've already discussed what I thought about the class, the subject matter and the assignments but on my blog I'm like to outline some of the thoughts running through my head.

First week of class:
Confusion, frustration, anxiety, stress, reaching out to every possible human contact to figure out who the heck knows what they are doing. Realizing this class is mostly based on opinion which I'm bad at. Trying to figure out some sort of organizational system to keep track of what I've done. Wondering if I'm going to have trouble keeping up.

A few weeks in:
I am a champion. I actually know how to do the wiki. Everyone asks me how to do the wiki. Phil asks me a question, I ask Rachel a question, Rachel usually knows the answer which I then pass on to Phil. After a few days I realize Phil and Rachel should speak directly to save time. I hate the first book and wonder if all the reading will be like this. It is somewhat discouraging.

Middle of the semester:
I keep getting behind. I missed a week while in the hospital and I just can't seem to catch up. I realize that I am probably screwed for the rest of the semester but I'll just have to do my best to keep up. I do my first NeoVox article. It was nice to write something that wasn't my opinion. After receiving my grade I found out I was apparently supposed to include my opinion...

Closer to the end:
I'm really screwed. I'm keeping a tally on my desk of how many wikis and blogs I need to do to catch up. So far about 6 wikis, 5 personal blogs and 2 course blogs. I avoid Dr. Reid in the halls for fear of a look of disappointment and despair in his eyes. I take comfort in talking to people who are worse off than me like Steve and Andy. " Hey Andy did you do you first NeoVox article yet?" ... "NO.. what NeoVox article?"


2 weeks left:
Panic. I'm really wondering what my grade will be. I've done well on all the podcasts, videos and NeoVox stuff. My course blog is pretty solid. I think I've finally caught up with the wiki. This damn personal blog. I hate trying to come up with things to say on here like I enjoy hearing myself talk that much or something. I'm not good at talking about the books either; one or two posts and I've had enough because I've already talked about them on the course blog and I don't want to repeat myself. I once again try to build myself up by talking to Andy " Hey Andy did you do your NeoVox article yet" .."Oh yea I just handed it in".



The End
Almost caught up and waiting for that sigh of relief!
