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

Wow. It is crazy to think that I am already back in Norman for my junior year. 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!).

Barcelona: My Favorite Place

A Christmas trip to Barcelona following my first semester at OU introduced me to a city that captured my heart. Because of my previous experience in highschool taking art history, I was engrossed in the modern architecture of the city, mainly of the work of acclaimed architect Antonio Gaudi. Moreover, the night life and unique Catalan traditions conveyed a city with a blend of modern and traditional tastes. Finally, as a huge soccer fan I was amazed by the sight of Camp Nou, the home of Barcelona FC and one of the cathedrals of soccer.
