Assignments and Thoughts

During the 2019 spring semester, I was browsing some of the classes I could take for an upper division humanities course. While I was looking through all of my options, I noticed the class "Mythology and Folklore". Now when I was younger I loved reading the Percy Jackson series, so I immediately I thought this would be an intriguing g class to take. Yet, I saw that the class required a blog throughout the course work and I was kind of unsure of what to think about that. Flash forward to one week into school, and I can say that writing this blog has been a worthwhile experience so far. It is refreshing to be able to just write about my thoughts on a consistent matter, and I cannot wait to read some stories and reflect on those as well. I am excited to do the story book project after reading some examples, and I think the "Famous Last Words" will be a great way to end my week. All in all, I am ready to tackle some myths and folks!

Introducing the RealNeal

While my first two years were full of unique experiences, I never imagined that I would be a writing a blog to begin my third year! To start off, I am psychology major on the pre medicine track. Ever since I took psychology in high school I found studying the mind and the way people act so interesting. However, I always had the goal of becoming a physician which explains the pre-med track. Although I am an OU student, I still consider myself a proud Texan. I come from a relatively small town in East Texas where high school football is king and perhaps the most famous thing is that Matthew Mccounaughey graduated from my high school (he even came to our high school graduation this year to give a speech!).

Week 11 Story: Why the Possum Plays Dead

Late at night, Rabbit and Possum were searching for food to survive the night. The winter had been hard on the two friends, but they had remained steadfast to each other throughout the season. Nevertheless, it was necessary for them to find some food or perish. Thus, the two friends decided to search some of the neighborhoods next to the woods they called home. Meticulously Rabbit and Possum went to house after house, rummaging through the trash bins to look for food that would survive them for the night. Yet, they continued to fail to find their nourishment. The two friends were soon becoming alarmed as they knew there was no chance that they would survive the night without food. However, as they approached a quiet house on the corner on the neighborhoods, Rabbit came across a pleasant surprise. Sitting ripely underneath the balcony of the porch was a tasty trove of leafy greens for both the Possum and Rabbit to eat. Rabbit quickly became eager and urged Possum to join him to steal th...
