Course and Project Two Reflection

Honors Colloquy has taught me a lot of things in a very unconventional way, instead of taking notes I got to actually do it. In Project One I found myself learning how to do research in way I never had before, doing something and taking notes on it as well as incorporating videos as research material rather than the typical .org site on the first page of Google. It was a lot of fun and actually made me look forward to doing similar projects in the future.

Project Two gave me a lot of insight where I never expected it. I'll admit, I got in WAY over my head with Project Two. The project I talked about in my Precís and mindmap was quite possible one of the most ambitious school projects I have ever done. And I had to learn my lesson with this one. As of right now only the first 5 chapters of Book 1 are finished, and there are still several more planned. I had originally planned for there to be only 6 chapters but as I went along I saw how in depth I wanted to go and I had to face the facts that there was no way I could actually do what I set out to in my Precís within the time frame.

Which brings me to my next point, what would I do if I had more time? Everything. I would love to finish A Path in the Dark. I really enjoyed working on it, although the typing was done primarily the week this post is going up, there was a lot of planning and preparing that was done before hand. Like for instance Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 were going to be one Chapter, or the event at the end of Chapter 3 was going to be completely different, heck the guy who talks like this was not going to be introduced until the Epilogue. My point is that this story went through a lot of work before I even sat down, but I am still glad I at least gave it a shot. I plan on finishing the rest of it at my own pace, I want to have Book 1 done at some point by the end of May and hopefully the full project by the end of the summer. I plan on making a post whenever a new batch of Chapters goes live.
