This week I read a story called 22 Goblins. I liked the premise of the story, but I did not really care for the story itself. I was really excited about reading riddles, but I did not care for the riddles themselves. I feel like I was not able to answer a lot of the riddles because I don't know the culture behind them. I may have enjoyed the story more if I knew more about the culture.
Writing
This class is where I do my best writing, because it is the only class that I do much writing in. I was OK with the story that I wrote this week, but I feel like I have done better work on the past. Next week I get another chance, and will write a story that I am more happy with. I get to start actually writing for my storybook, which is exciting.
Other Classes
My other classes have been going well this semester. I am taking two graduate classes as well as my senior capstone. I have also been going to work, so this semester has seemed really busy. I've been learning about search algorithms for my Artificial intelligence class, and learning about how Turing machines work for a class called Computational Complexity.
Outside School
I have been doing some reading for pleasure this semester, which is usually something I only make time for in the summer. It's nice doing 30 minutes of reading before going to bed. It helps clear my mind, and it's been letting me get further in the Dresden Files. Not familiar with the series? You should check it out. Jim Butcher has created a lot of interesting characters in a fantasy setting. The main character of the story is a Wizard detective. It's really good.
