Blog Post # 9 Mid-Term Check In


Dear Mrs. Cline,
          The biggest challenge that I have had in this class so far is managing my time so that I can turn in quality work.  If I had known what life was going to bring me the last few months, I surely would have taken this semester off!  My biggest success has been learning how set up and maintain a blog.  I have wanted to create a blog for our business for some time, but did not have the confidence to try and set one up.  My husband loves to write about anything outdoors and we own an outdoor store, so a new Badass Outdoors Blog is on the way!
          I have really enjoyed the readings for this class so far.  I was disappointed when I found out about the required reading before the start of the semester.  I had seen the movie of both, Winter’s Bone and Up In The Air, and didn’t really like either of them.  I was pleasantly surprised and I have enjoyed them both immensely.
          I made the final move to New Hampshire over spring break and we have our grand opening for the store this Sunday.  The packing/ unpacking and moving are finally over.  So my goal for the second half of the semester is to manage my time better and focus more on my school work.  Writing has always been very hard for me and have never really enjoyed it; I am more of a numbers kind of girl! This class has taught me a new way to look at writing that I actually kind of like.  So thank you so much for that and I look forward to the rest of the semester.
Sincerely,
Marie Keating
