Week 8 Progress

-
Looking back:  I'm happy so far with my progress.  I stay fairly caught up.  I sometimes wind up skipping Reading B, but doing extra credit to make up for it.  I'm staying on track for an A in the course right now.  For extra credit, I usually just wind up doing extra blog comments, but I may change that this half of the semester because I'm running out of posts I haven't commented on.

Looking forward:  I'm pretty happy so far with the course.  I may try a couple different extra credit options just to change things up.  I may also change up my note-taking and feedback processes.  I like how my blog & storybook are going.  The next couple stories in my storybook may be more difficult to figure out how to fit them in my theme, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

I also work full-time, at least I did until May when my position as manager for a local saddle shop got down-sized.  We thought my husband had found a great job i...

Week 5 Story: Arabian Nights, Hermione-style

We find ourselves back at Hogwarts this week, checking in on the Golden Trio and their adventures.  As we look for them, we can see into the Dark Forest.  We see Harry & Ron trying desperately hard to sneak something out of the forest while also trying to avoid being seen and caught.  But where is Hermione?  Upon further searching, we find her talking to a centaur, trying very hard to keep him distracted.  "But sir, I swear if you'll just listen to me a bit longer, you'll find it's a very interesting story" exclaims Hermione. "I will listen to your story," replies the centaur thoughtfully, "but it better be very interesting or I shall have to go and examine whatever was making that racket farther into the forest."  So Hermione begins to tell him the tale of the "Merchant and the Genie" which soon morphs into telling the tales of three old men travelling along the same road, trying to also distract the genie and save the merchant...
