Creativity

Things are certainly getting more intense as the end of first semester is now in sight.  The due dates for all of the major projects, papers, and exams are coming up, so my "to-do list" is currently running very long.  Still, knowing that I am so close to finishing with a successful first semester is motivation enough to do quality work and keep my grades up.  By working on all of these assignments this week, I have realized that they are designed to challenge us creatively.  The PSA and the Global Village Project for KSU 1111 are both open-ended in their directions and allow us to think for ourselves and formulate our own ideas.  Even though both of the projects are time-consuming, I appreciate the fact that we really get to design the project.  Also, deciding what exactly we are going to say and do during the 30 minutes we are allotted at the President's cabinet meeting involves working together and deciding on the best ideas to make our meeting as meaningful as possible.  For me, the projects that allow for the most creative freedom are my favorite because they feel less like a chore and more like something meaningful I can learn from.  I know that all of my professors are working together to make sure that we take something away from each of our projects, so as I continue on into next semester, I will have to adjust to less personalized classes.  None the less, I am in the midst of reapplying for the PEGS program, so hopefully everything goes well.
