Favorite Assignment? Why?
My favorite assignment would be the final project 100 Things To Do Before I Die. I wish I was a little more prepared too present it but I love how we watched the Buried Life; I watched it a long time ago and it was my favorite show. I think it's amazing how many people they helped and how they helped themselves, it really inspired me to do that same. I also like how we wrote down a bucket list because I've always been planning to write one and now I truly hope to check everything off of it.
Least Favorite Assignment? Why?
My least favorite assignment would be the Twitter Fiction because I'm horrible at short stories, trying to make something up and it actually making it good was really hard for me. And the tweets made it easier but harder at the same time. It was hard how you could only write 140 characters for each tweet which I though was a lot longer then it actually was. It massed up my story a little bit to how I wanted it to turn out.
Friday Reading?
I loved the Friday reading, it was a calming/relaxed class and the time I had to read my book was so much easier then trying to read at night or during the day when I would usually have no time too.
Monday Written Reflection?
The written reflection on my book I felt like I never knew what to write about so it took me so long to complete them. I would of just rather read and put a short write up about my book on my blog.
The Writer's Notebook?
I like having the writer's notebook to write in, I've always had a journal/diary but the notebook isn't so personal and it was through school with all my assignments in it which I liked. Rather then writing on loose-leaf or worksheets, I felt way more organized and actually had the motivation to write in my school journal.
Blogging?
Blogging was awesome! I really enjoy doing this in the class room and having my very own professional blog. I hope to keep something like this going either with this blog or a new one.
Tweeting?
I wasn't the biggest fan when it came to tweeting, I have my own twitter but I wasn't sure how to use it in the class room and I thought that the blog was enough to keep up with.
The Integration Of Technology Into The Course?
I really like the idea of technology for learning. Kids are familiar with it, it's way easier and more convenient. Making and putting everything on my blog was fun, it's cool having my own blog and it was also nice how I could do it strait from my phone.
What
You Learned About Yourself As A Reader, Writer, Thinker, and Creator?
As a reader I learned that I really like reading but I just have never found the time or effort to pick up a book and read it which I plan to do a lot more. If I focus and get into the book I'm reading then I could accomplish reading many books. As a witter I've learned that I can't stick to a main story, I usually trail off and just extend the story when it doesn't need to be. I'm going to try prevent myself from doing that and hopefully fix it. As a thinker I learned that I don't always think for myself, I find it hard to think of ideas from scratch. I usually need a little jump start or a good idea to make my own creation. I hope to make myself a more independent thinker. As a creator I kind of found the same thing but I'm also not the most creative person, I never really had that gift but this class expanded my mind on how creative you can be with your writing and work.

Burried Life Project
I shared my 100 Things To Do Before I Die, now I'd like to show you the video I made for my project. I chose 25 things from my list and made a short video using a video editor called Wondershare. Enjoy :)
Personal Addittion #16
I chose this as one of my personal additions because I've thought this every single year. But this year I noticed the most change from last year. Last year I couldn't never believe I'd have the life that I do now. I think it changed in a good way, I am more happy with myself then I ever have been. I think everything happens for a reason, and when bad things happen something good always comes out of it. That what happen to me last year I had a really hard time but now I deserve to have a happy and amazing life.
Personal Addition #15
I screen shot this picture from snap chat that I was sending someone because I thought it was too cute! This is my dog Midnight, and yes his name is midnight because he's black. My family got him when I was around 4. My mom picked him up from a farm one night because they were giving away free puppies and if my mom didn't take him he wouldn't have a chance to live. I love him so much, he can be so annoying at times, but in the end he is a good dog and I know he will protect me from anything <3
Personal Addition #14
I am obsessed with sushi! It is so good, I could eat any kind but my favorite would probably be the dynamite roll, AMAZING!
Personal Addition #13
This is my grad dress!! :) I'm so happy with it. I was kind of scared to get black but I thought it was so elegant and different. It was only $160 on sale at David's Bridal, which I though was an amazing deal. It goes perfectly with my grad shoes and the lace at the back makes it so unique. You can't see but it has a slit on the side, but it blends really nicely with the dress and shows off my awesome shoes!
