Week 12 Tech Tips: The Canvas Mobile App

Here I am to report on my experience on the Canvas MObile App.

It has saved my life. I wake up in the morning and check Canvas and quite a few times have caught myself rushing up to finish some last minute homework. The calendar on the app has recently been very helpful for me since all your homework goes on to the calendar by myself. I really like that feature! Especially when due dates are always changing - it has been really fun for me.

The app has been so useful, I cannot believe there are people who don't use it. They do not know what they are missing out on!

Famous Last Words: Week 12

Here I am again, waiting until the last minute to finish my work... I had a really quick weekend of sleeping all day every day and just didn't have time to do homework like I should have. I am a little disappointed in myself but I was recovering from a stomach bug all week so here is the weekend to be better!

Today it is cold and snowing, I was extremely tired but I have still made it to all my classes today! I am really proud of myself for going. It has been a pretty good day even though I had to take a test. I only have two classes left and I am looking forward to the time I can eat. I really am enjoying my American Sign Language class this week. It has been fun and hopefully will only get better.

This week I will go to all my classes. I am speaking it into existence so I can fix my sleep schedule and really get things done. I know I am so tired right now, I wish a nap was in the books for me.

Here is to being better this week!  Also maybe eating better, working out, getting enough sleep, seeing my family and going to a therapy appointment.

To end this, here is a list of my goals:
1.) Sleep better and longer
2.) Wake up at the same time every day this week (DO NOT OVERSLEEP)
3.) Eat a vegetable every day
4.) Stop drinking wine - it makes you sick
5.) Get caught up and AHEAD on Mythology - it is fun!
6.) Try to do a lot of extra credit, you need it girl...
7.) Maybe try to finish the class next week? That would be fun.
8.) Enjoy yourself. Only one year left of college!

Reading B: Week 12

I loved that the first story in this unit was a poem. I love to read poems but I don't think that it is something I am able to write and write it beautifully, although I might like to try! Maybe I will try for fun and not for an assignment.

In the second story, I thought it was told in such a way that I could read the story as it was the men's voices. It was very clearly written for me to see and know what was going on with the right amount of detail.

The third story, the Rushen Coatie was also a fun version of Cinderella! Except a sweet red calf was the Fairy Godmother. I thought it was very cute and maybe a little bit graphics with the cutting of the feet.

Reading A: Week 12

For the first story in reading A, I found a lot of enjoyment in the rhyming aspect of it. It also seemed pretty familiar to me like something I had heard before. I thought it was a cute story, maybe with a little bit of a sad ending, but it is what the town deserved. 

I wasn't much of a fan for the second story, it did not entice me like the first story and I did find it a little hard to read. It just didn't catch my attention.

Tattercoats made me unfortunately sad in the beginning until I realized it was a version of Cinderella! I wanted it to have more of a twist but I did enjoy it for what it was. it was super cute.
