Thlog #9

No one ever said week nine was easy, and I’m not quite sure that I disagree with the popular opinion. While the idea behind WP3 I found to be pretty interesting and provide a great amount of room for creative input, I felt like the project as a whole was a bit rushed. We did have a decent amount of time to come up with our ideas and compose our proposal, but I felt like I had an inadequate amount of time to really execute the project to the extent that I would have liked. I guess part of this likely came from not wanting to begin my transformations until they were somewhat “approved.” Despite this feeling of being a bit pressed for time, it got done and now it is time to focus on the final portfolio. Again, I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed about taking on this project, but I’m hoping that as I begin to work on it, that stress will be eased.

            As far as actual class time went this week I found myself to really enjoy the activity with the McCloud piece. I thought it was both interesting and beneficial in understanding the key “arenas” that he points out authors can interact within. I also always find it helpful to hear other student’s definitions of the same topic, as sometimes they may provide a clearer definition. I felt like this week in class we spent a decent amount of time interacting in small groups, which led to a good chunk of time to bounce ideas off of each other. For me, verbalizing my ideas can be particularly beneficial, so I really enjoyed the class time that allowed for this. One more week! So close, yet so far…
