Reflective Post 3
Boom! I’m starting my elevator pitch with a bang – but you’ll have to wait to see it! That is due this Friday, but I am going away tonight, so it will get done after that. I know what I want to do for it. It’s just a matter of figuring out the technical difficulties and just plain getting it done. Spring break is going to be a work week.
I will be finishing A Walk in the Woods on the plane, and that will be the material for posts 7 and 8, due up by the end of next week. Thankfully, I caught up with post 4, and finished posts 5 and 6 – all on time! They were a bit short, but I continue to learn more about my issue and what people are doing. I included pictures in my last two posts. At first, to my untrained city eye, it looks fine, just a nice prairie or something? But upon closer examination, you start to notice how bare the landscape is, and how this area is flat and brown amid the green mountains. It’s quite a contrast.
I feel the spacing of this project has been wonderful. In some projects in other subjects, we are given the assignment and the final due date, and expected to pace ourselves out. I am a procrastinator. This approach does not work well for me. Having multiple due dates and the project broken down into parts has helped me immensely with not getting overwhelmed by the workload. It’s probably teaching me how to space myself out so when I get a project that isn’t sectioned, I can help myself out and structure it so. It’s going well, and it’s definitely going, so keep reading!
