Assignments Overview

So I am pretty excited about this semester, and especially about this class. I am taking some really interesting classes, including my service-learning capstone, piano lessons, and this one, which combines two of my favorite things: reading myths and creative writing.

I must admit that I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of assignment we have per week, but as I read through the descriptions that worry began to dissipate. I realized that most of the assignments are quite straight forward and that as long as I am doing the reading on time there should be no issues. Hopefully, I will be organized enough to not end up like this little guy. 

I am also super excited about some of the extra credit opportunities. I am particularly excited about the microfictions and biographical writings. When I was a kid I used to write short stories all the time, and I always thought microfiction was super fun to write, so I am excited to get back into it. And the biographical writing seems like a fun little exercise to let you know a bit about me and my life. I'm also toying with the idea of putting myself into the myths and legends we read about or putting the characters of the myths into my daily life. Either of this might be fun to play with. 

In any case, the extra credit assignment and the class reminded me of a trend that has become quite popular of comparing high school and college teachers. The trend shows that usually high school teachers portray college professors as strict, serious and hard to deal with when in reality isn't necessarily like that. This class is a great example of that, so I thought I would leave one of my favorite tweets from this trend, enjoy!

High school teachers: Your college professors will NOT put up with this.

College prof: *while eating banana* so the final isn’t cumulative. If you want extra credit come to my karaoke night.
