Well, this class is just about over. You know what that means. I should be applying the finishing touches to my project right about now. My goal for this week was to make final revisions to my genres and complete all of the assignments for the week. Despite a hectic schedule, I feel that I have accomplished this goal.

The first thing that I did was peer review the About the Author, Acknowledgements, and Preface sections for the girls in my group. These peer review were, by far, the easiest to do thus far. I enjoyed the About the Author sections. I actually learned a thing or two about each of them. It was also nice to get some recognition from my peers. Thanks girls! I spent the rest of the week revising genres. I finally got my revised PowerPoint posted. I hope everyone likes it. I think that it’s a lot better than my original PowerPoint presentation. I still have a couple pictures to add, so if you think the layout of a couple of the slides looks odd, that’s why. I’ll have that fixed within a couple of days. As for the rest of the weekly assignments, I didn’t get around to doing them until late Friday night and today. I worked on Friday from noon until 9:30pm so I didn’t get much work done that day. For some reason, after working all day, I was in the mood to do work when I got home. I ended up working on my MRP reflection until 2:00am. I don’t know what got into me. What ever it was, it must have worked. I feel that I did a good job on that reflection. Heaven knows, I’ve definitely had enough practice. I had planned on having Saturday off to do a bunch of work for this class, but I ended up working from noon until 10pm that night. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time I got home. As soon as I got off work today, I rushed home to finish my assignments. I posted my reference page. I’m going to be adding more. I just wanted to be sure to post something by the deadline. As I’ve said before, references just aren’t my thing. I don’t know why I have such a hard time with them. I can do them, but it takes me a long time. I also have a difficult time figuring out which format to use for each reference. I’m sure glad I have Frances here to help me. I also re-wrote my journal from the parent. I kept much of the same writing from the original entries, but I added a lot more. I also separated them by date since I’m using them to integrate all of my genres. I actually completed this a few days ago, but I guess I must have saved it to the hard-drive on the computer in the library because it wasn’t on my disk. By the time I realized this, I had no way of going to the library to get this saved information since I had to work while the library was open. How many times have I made this stupid mistake this summer? I think I’ve done it about four times. Hopefully I’ll learn my lesson some day. In the meantime, I’ll just have to grin and bear it. It wasn’t a total loss. I think the journal entries turned out better the second time around. At least I’ll say it did to make me feel better. Lastly, I made a table of contents for my MRP. This didn’t take to long. After all, I am a computer genius now, aren’t I? Don’t answer that question.

Overall, I think I did well this week. I’m off tomorrow so I’ll be spending the day at the library. I’m hoping to finish most of what’s left while I’m there. Can you believe we only have 4 ½ days left? Actually, I can believe that. What I can’t believe is that we start fall semester in two weeks! However, I’m not worried about the coming semester. If I can survive this class, I can definitely survive fall semester. At least I hope so. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. At least I’ll have all of you there with me J
