Famous Last Words: My First Last Words

I did have time to do both part A and B reading this week. I did the Eskimo/Inuit reading, and I remember the pictures more than anything. The pictures would be in black and white but they would always be wearing furry, home-made outdoor clothing. I did a lot of writing this week both inside and outside of this class. I think my best writing was for my microbiology class. We had to search for an article that was relatively new covering a topic we had previously gone over in lecture. I chose to write a summary and answer questions on a reading that involved probiotics being used in powder and pill form to help with facial acne. This was our first of three assignments for this class, and I really think writing my own stories every other week benefited my ability to write a short summary of an article! I use to just try and read the story/article and then write down my thoughts. Now I keep two tabs open and write notes to myself while I read and I think that technique has helped improve my writing a lot. I enjoy reading other people's storybook or portfolio projects. I ran into one covering a food blog and it was so well put together! My other classes are going pretty well. I think this is the calm before the storm of third semester tests followed by finals.  I am worried about my ornithology class because we have to learn 150 birds from Oklahoma and be able to identify them for our final lab practical. We also have to write, and attempt to publish, a story over a neotropical bird of our choosing. My grandmother recently passed away, so next week I will be spending time with family as we celebrate her life. That means school has to get put on the back burner for a couple of days, but I am happy I will get to spend a few days with family.
