Famous Last Words: Surviving Midterms

I would not say I survived midterms, but it will get better. This week I did not read part B of my story, but I intend to use it for the extra credit reading next week. I wanted to see how “Twenty-Two Goblins” tied all the stories together and why he kept making him choose which option was best. I failed a little this week and did not get as many assignments as I wanted done. I am trying to manage my time better. I have two jobs and I go to school full time. It just is a constant struggle. I know others have it worse, but every perspective is different and an acorn can be a giant to someone else. I read quite a few stories that were very well written. I was engaged and interested in how the stories were going to tie themselves up at the end. I am amazed at some of the talent that is in the class. I have not creatively written since either my freshman year in college or back in high school, which was anywhere from six to eight years ago. It is hard going from business writing back to c...

Reading Notes Part A: Twenty-Two Goblins

These stories interested me and intrigues me for sure. I was excited about the creepiness of the first couple stories. After about the first three stories, the stories that the Goblin told were a little less entertaining. I was less engaged to them then at the beginning. I enjoyed the stories about having to choose between the head of your brother or the head of your husband and with the bodies. I even asked people at work which option they would choose if they had to. If I were to rewrite this part of the story, I would make the other stories more interesting by adding a little more gore or strange events that people would not know how to choose from. The last story about the wives did not have a purpose that made sense to me. Unless part B has something that ties all of part A’s stories together, I am quite lost on the purpose of choosing from all the stories. Although I did agree with the majority of the decisions that the kind made. I am looking forward to what is to come in p...

Typing Game Tech Tip

I took keyboarding in eighth grade and we always played a game called Typer Shark. Although I am looking at it now and it is not free anymore like it was then. That was 2005 though. I would say that is my favorite typing game.  Link here.  Ninja Cat was fun too. It made me anxious as the levels went on just like Typer Shark does. It was a little difficult to read all of the letters or words when they fell down at me.  Link here .  Typing Orchestra  was another one of the games I tried on the website. The only thing I really liked about it was the music. The game doesn't really test your typing as much as it does timing. It is similar to Guitar Hero, but a lot worse. I would like to improve my typing skills just like any other task. I don't think it will ever be mastered, if that is even possible.
