Week 14: Dante's Inferno

Examining the Un-Textbook made me excited for what is to come in the semester. I am interested in reading a variety of notable stories that I kind of understand or heard of, such as Beowulf and King Arthur, but do not truly know. These are stories I always wanted to read due to their cultural significance but simply did not have the opportunity to do so. I am really interested in delving into stories that are culturally popular as well as mythological stories.

Dante and Virgil: Dante's Inferno is a story that I have heard of for many years but have no real idea of its significance or content. I am excited to see what the story is about!

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.
