Weekly Review week 9: First Weekly Review

For this week’s reading, I think I did pretty well. I tried to focus on quotes in my notes so I could understand what was being said a little better, especially since I sometimes do not understand the poems in this book. Continuing on, I did a lot of reading this week and found “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du to be rather long. Although that story was great and interesting, I found my favorite to be “The Travels of Lao Can” by Liu E because of its interesting take on weeping. I would say my best writing this week is my project planning because I went into more detail and laid it out for comparing instead of just simply taking notes. I also prefer the way I organized because it makes it easier to read for me at least. Some strategies for understanding the readings I use are going back and re-reading if I did not quite understand what was being said and fully analyzing sentence by sentence. I think I am doing okay in my other classes. I am taking two online classes, this one and another one; that involve a lot of work and sometimes it is hard to get everything done on time. It makes it even harder when it comes to studying and doing homework for my other in-person classes I take besides the two online.  There is definitely a link between classes because I notice that if we talk about one thing in one class, it somewhat comes up in another class. Considering next week is break, I hope to be able to relax and refresh my brain even though I still have a lot of work to do over break, just less. In conclusion, I feel that this week was a good week in getting my work done.
