This week I
again haven’t done any new Reading Diaries, but I did end up writing my third
story for my Storybook Project. This story (The
Vanishing Wife) was originally from the Congo Unit. I changed it pretty
substantially because the original story did not have a happy ending and that
definitely would not work with my Storybook. I think I like how my project is
shaping up overall. I still need to edit two of my stories and write my final
story, but I am glad that I have a head start on the process. It is a nice
break in my usual homework to be able to write a story.
I love
being able to read people’s projects each week for Project Commenting now. It
is so cool to see the different directions people choose to go in. I like when
the Storybooks have introductions that really seem to be tying all the stories
together. One that I am reading (Gossip Greeks) does a good job of continuing the
frame dialogue throughout all the stories without taking away from the stories
themselves.
On a personal
note, the timing of the winter weather has been rather disappointing this past
week. It didn’t end up affecting any of my classes, but it did manage to cancel
a volunteering event that the Okie Belles were supposed to have with Heavenly
Hospice on Saturday morning. I am really hoping that somehow Monday classes get
canceled. That would be just awesome. My family lives in Texas and they got two
to three days off last week. Now I feel like it should be my turn.
My other
classes have kind of settled into a lull. I just had a presentation and a test,
so I don’t have anything big coming up before Spring Break. I just have mostly
reading and writing responses for homework, but it still seems to take up most
of my time.
