Another entry about end of the year/semester rush and trying not to get crushed by the oncoming stampede that is incoming deadlines and final projects. Do you remember how at the beginning of the blog I mentioned that I have three creative writing courses right on top of one another? Well, with the end of the semester comes the final projects for all of them, and only roughly two and a half weeks to finish them all.
This is what some of my final projects look like for each of my classes:
Math:
* Finish online math topics in the learning program ALEKS. (15 to go)
* A module test.
* A final inclusive test for the whole semester.
CW: Intro Final Portfolio:
* Revision of one of the two poems written this semester. (with rough draft)
* Revision of Short story written this semester.
* A one/two page single spaced letter.
CW: Fiction Final Portfolio:
* A cover letter (page 1 1/2)
* Final revision draft of first short story/ rough draft
* Final revision draft of second story/ rough draft
And of course the final project for the Nonefiction class, the Author's website.
As you can see I have my hands very full for the next two weeks and a half. I once saw a joke online with a picture of a skinny, pale skinned creature with big eyes coming out of a cave. Above it's head was the caption "Students at the end of the semester after finals." Then there was the words of the creature speaking saying "Mom? Dad? Friends?"
I'm expecting I will look something similar to that come the end of this semester. As I expect I will turn into a hermit to get everything done in time. Wish me luck a second time.
Diving right in!
