I think the reading and writing assignments went well for me. I enjoyed many of them a lot and I always found at least two stories that I wanted to write about.
I think my favorite story to read so far was from the Congo unit, The Fetish of Chilunga because I hadn't really read anything like it before and it prompted me to write a related but totally different story.
My reading notes have been helping me a lot. I often don't have time to write my story right after the reading so it's beneficial to be able to go back and see what I was thinking. Because I have a lot of freedom in how I structure my notes, it's very easy for me to get back in the groove of what I was thinking and hash out a story.
I am happy with my class project so far, I feel like this is good practice for my future career as an author. Coincidentally, my class project is also my favorite work so far and I consider it my biggest accomplishment in my writing for this class. I've gotten tons of positive feedback on it and everyone that reads it seems interested so I'm looking forward to continuing it.

This is my favorite image I've used so far. It accompanies the first part of my story on my class project. I like it so much because it's not a conventional picture. It's very whimsical and almost haunting. Since it depicts a traumatic part of my story, it's fitting that it's in black and white and not crisp and clear. It really fits the tone I was going for and looks cool.

Looking Forward
I think the only think I could use to get more out of this class is more time! I barely have time to complete the requirements, let alone the extra credit. There's so much interesting material I'd love to go through and read but I just don't have the time in my schedule to get to all of it! Otherwise, I think I'm doing pretty well and getting a lot out of the class despite the time thing.
