Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I would say that the comments that I have received so far have been very helpful in improving my writing both in my blog and storybook. Specifically for my storybook, the comments have allowed me to configure my website in a way that is more accessible for the users. Additionally, the comments have given me some great ideas to improve my storybook. For example, because of my comments, I am thinking of making my website more like the common app by creating resumes for my Greek figures, admission requirements, and more details in my intro. I feel like my comments have been helpful for other students. I really try to focus on concrete aspects of their stories that can enhance the story or make it less confusing for the reader. Commenting has also allowed me to interact with others in the class which is something that I have not experienced before in my other online classes. Looking forward, I hope my classmates continue to critique my writing and storybook so that I can continue to improve.

Wikimedia: Commenting has been useful in my progress as a writer and blogger this year.

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 12 Story: Beth Gellert

There was once a hunter who had a loyal German shepherd named Max that he considered to be his best friend. Now Max was extremely loyal to the hunter, always guarding the hunter and his daughter throughout the night. It was important for Max to do his job as the forest they resided in was full of wolves looking for their next meal. As such, Max was a vital part of the hunter's life as he went off to hunt for food thus leaving his daughter to herself. One day, the hunter decided to head to the forest in hopes of finding food for him and his daughter. It had been a long winter and food was often scarce to find. As he normally he did, the hunter ordered Max to watch over his daughter while he was gone hunting. For hours the hunter remained in the woods, hoping to find some deer, rabbit, or animal that he could bring home. Finally, after dutifully searching for a target, the hunter took down a massive deer to return to his household. However, as he returned to his home, he noticed some...

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.
