Week 8 Progress

Picture of the word to today with tomorrow crossed out under it. Source:   flickr So far, I would say that I am pretty happy about my progress over the semester.

The blacksmith kept complaining about what he was and the magical man kept changing him until he got to be the moon at which he wanted to go back to being a blacksmith but the magical man was tired of the changing and left the blacksmith as a moon. I like how the story had a deeper message behind it as t...
