Reflections On Week 1

        (posted this a little late)

• Are there any factors that you think are going to affect your participation or experience in this class? (Access to a computer, cell phone, transportation? Family that can help or hassle? Friends that can help or hassle? Scheduling factors that can help or hassle?) 

      - No, the only factor that would affect my participation would be if I am sick.

• Think of an awesome (or the best ever) learning experience (or an experience where you changed) What was it you learned?  Where were you? What happened? Who else was there? Did it teach you anything about how you learn (or pay attention... or think?) How did you know what was happening? 

      - This is an actual conversation/argument between me and my 22 year old sister, It wasn't a learning experience for me, but she defiantly learned something new.  Also this is the first thing that came to mind when I read this question.

Me: I can't have butter.
Amy: But, butter isn't dairy.
Me: Yes it is.
Amy: No way! I'll look it up and I'm gonna feel really smart right now 'cause you're wrong.
 *A few moments later.*
Amy: Dang it..
Me: Wow
Amy: Hey, I'm not that dumb, i know some things.
Me: Okay, say something smart.
Amy: Okay. 2+2 =4

• What are you most [excited/concerned] about in this class? What do you look forward to in learning?  How do you think it can/will make a practical difference in your life? 

      -I'm excited about my blog and writing in my journal everyday. I'm also excited to learn more about literature. This class will defiantly make a difference in my life by hopefully making me more literate and showing me how to keep track of things.
