Famous Last Words: Done with Test Week

Last week felt like such a long week as I had a test and essay due. Thankfully it is over, and I can look forward to being less stressed this week. Overall, I enjoyed the reading I had for the week. I do not have much experience reading Native American stories, so reading the California and southwestern collection of stories introduced to me a new culture of readings. I was also excited this week to have done my second story for my storybook. It was the second of three stories and focuses on Artemis. Greek mythology has always been a fascination of mine since I read Percy Jackson as an elementary school kid, so being bale to write my own Greek mythology stories is a fun endeavor. Additionally, I really enjoy being able to read the storybooks and portfolios of other students. Some of the ideas are so creative and out there that I just cannot imagine how my fellow students come up with them. A particular favorite of mine is the Hercules email inbox. I love hoe the website is set up as a real email account, and it makes me feel as I am really in the head of Hercules. Outside of this class, I am looking forward for things to settle down now that midterms are over. I cannot wait for the OU game this weekend as I am every weekend. Our defense has been playing really well so I am quietly becoming more confident that we can win the national championship this year. I do not like to get too excited however, as I do not want to be as disappointed as I was the previous two years. The improvement that I have seen from last year, nevertheless, has been impressive, and I cannot to see how the team goes on from here.

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!).

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...
