Reflection: Weeks 9-12

Wow, I know I say the same thing to start every reflection but WOW the days are just flying by! How is it week 12 already? I don't even realize how much stuff we have actually done until I do these reflections and actually take the time to look back on the past weeks. 
My favorite thing that we have done lately is our eco-chic lifestyle goal. I am glad that I finally had some motivation to get my butt in gear and start taking the bus to school. I only live eight minutes away from school but it has been amazing to me the amount of gas that I have saved over the past few weeks. I am actually pretty proud of myself for keeping up with my goal so well. I am constantly setting goals for myself but if they end up falling through it's never a big deal because I'm usually the only one that knows. Having other people tracking my progress has really kept me on track with this goal and it has made me reconsider changing my goal setting strategies for the future. 

Coming in at a close second place finish would have to be the photo essay we did. It was fun to let our creative sides out a little bit and practice our picture taking skills :) It was awesome that we got to share our photos with the entire class and let them in on what we had been working on. 
Another thing we have been working on is our advocacy project. I know it's bad to say, but I am horrible at keeping up with the political aspect of things. I am glad that I was able to take a look at some of the important people that help to make the decisions in Wisconsin and realize how easy it is to get ahold of them and make your voice heard. 
Over the past few weeks we have also watched a few films in class. Which I also really enjoyed. I really like watching the documentaries we have been lately because it's great to get to know a lot of the facts and not as much fiction about certain topics. 
Overall it has been another great couple weeks and I'm looking forward to finishing out the semester :)
