Halllelujah! A huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders! I just took my final. I have no more worries...the math saga is finally over! NO MORE MATH!!!

The class work this week was not that difficult. There were less assignments, but the work was more in depth and took more time. This week, we really started working on our MRPs.

I liked meeting with the class Tuesday f2f to go over Powerpoint. It was good to see familiar faces instead of staring at my computer screen. I had no trouble figuring out Powerpoint. For some reason, I always thought that Powerpoint was really hard. It did not seem that way on Tuesday, but ofcourse, I have not done it for real, yet. The class meeting also provided me with insight into my topic and resulted in a revision of my essential question, foundation questions, and prospectus. Good thing I had not submitted the Assignment 2.2.1. yet!

Speaking of Assignment 2.2.1, as of now, it is still not completed!! I am having difficulty coming up with 5 sources. There are many more than 5 hits that come up, but very few have full text articles, and the Drinko library does not have those periodicals, the MUGC does. So, I do not know if those articles will be usefyl because I can not access them. Needless to say, I am still searching!!

The most fun assignment this week was the genres. I am kind of ahead on those, I guess because I did an extra one this week. Writing my interview led me to thoughts for an "I am" poem. So, I wrote down my thoughts while they were fresh in my mind, and came up with a poem.

I really thought about my project this week. At the beginning of the week, I had a few ideas, but nothing really good or detailed. Now, I have started to see my question more in terms of the project. I have a good idea of what I want my project to be now, and I think I will be able to further develop my ideas in the next few weeks to complete my project.
