Famous Last Words for Week 1

I started the first week of classes pretty unorganized, but I think I had a good schedule figured out by the end of the week. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have about three hours between my Linear Algebra and Signals and Systems classes. So I plan to use that time for working on Epics of India reading and writing, as well as Fridays after class. I was able to keep up with the assignments alright, but I'd like to get more ahead on them than I am now. Next week, in particular, I'm going to visit my brother in Chicago, so I would like to get most of the assignments done before I leave on Wednesday.

Writing is something I am very slow at. I enjoy it, but historically, writing assignments take me much, much longer than other kinds of schoolwork. In that regard, I think it's important that I maintain a good writing schedule for the semester. I have a good study space in Devon Energy Hall where I think I can focus well in a quiet environment. That's where I intend to do most of my writing this semester.

Reflecting on the first week of this class, I really like the blogging aspect of it. It was fun to create my own blog; I've never done that before. I also very much enjoyed looking at my classmates' blogs and reading through their introductions. Most of the classes I take are with other people in my major (Computer Engineering), and so it's interesting to communicate with OU students studying things very different than I am. I am looking forward to the rest of the semester, for sure.
