Famous Last Words: Getting it Together!

So this is actually the first time I'm doing this type of assignment. I've never even looked at this option, but I might be doing it more often in the future.

I really struggled with this class at the start of the semester. I don't know why, but I was just so unmotivated to do any of it. I enjoy this class and the readings, but I just didn't feel like writing anything. So, I got a couple of points behind. I was stressing out about it; it's not like me to ignore things or fall behind in the class.

I am very happy with myself this week though! I finally got it together. I wrote a story last week and updated my project. That put me in a good place for this week! I caught up to the class total points, and I even got ahead in the class. I plan on doing more extra credit so that I can finish the class in week 12. I love doing the weekly readings, so I'm going to work on them ahead of time so I can get the extra 4 points each week. I plan on working for the A. I don't know how much of my portfolio I'll end up completing, but I'm happy with my progress in the class. Doing the week 8 reflection inspired me to change my working habits. This class is fun if you just focus doing the work that you most enjoy.

I just posted another story on my portfolio, and I had a create time doing the editing. The story on my blog didn't really match the theme for my portfolio, but I think the changes that I made to the story made it work. I created a frame tale (something new for me!) and tried to make the story a little bit creepy. I'm happy with the work I did on it, and I'm excited to work on the revisions for it as well. I hope I can keep up with the momentum I created this week!

Week 15 Extra Credit Reading: Lang's Fairy Tales II, Part A

These notes are based off Blue Beard which is from The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang (1889). This is a story that I've seen referenced, but I've never read it myself! It was scary. I thought the bride was going to die. She honestly got lucky I don't like that it was her brothers that saved her If I rewrote it, I would make her fight Blue Beard, or outsmart him somehow Maybe she could hide in the bloody closet and pounce on him Also, she could've just run away after she found out! Anyway, so Blue seems like a pretty sweet guy. He has an ugly blue beard, so no one wants to marry him. They are also weirded out because a bunch of his old wives have gone missing (clue), which is fair However, with all his money, he is able to woo a new bride He went away on a trip, and gave her all the keys to his mansion She can open all the doors BUT not the secret closet (familiar rule...) She obviously goes into the closet and sees dead women. There are bodies all over the floor ...

Introductions Are Hard

Hello! I'm Grayce and this is my second time taking an online class with Laura! All of the information in my original introduction is still pretty accurate, so feel free to check it out. Honestly, I'm pretty bad at talking about myself and it's just as hard while blogging 😅. This is my senior year at OU (finally!). Since I'm an older college student (25), I'm very excited to graduate. I will soon be able to start my career as an educator which is completely terrifying! Over my quarantine summer, I've been surrounding myself with plants. I have a tendency to kill things, but I've found a few varieties of houseplants (snake plant and marble pothos) that can withstand some abuse lol. If you have any gardening advice, or suggestions for plant names, let me know :) My plant friends: This is my Marble Queen Pothos (needs a name!) This is my Snake plant (Sansevieria), which is currently named Georgina (I'm open to renaming) Image Information: "Marb...
