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!).

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.
