Week 8 Reading and Writing

Reflecting back on my coursework this year, I am satisfied with my progress in my blog and storybook. This is the first time that I have ever blogged, so it is a new but rewarding experience. I enjoy being able to read stories from different cultures. Additionally, completing the reading notes each week has allowed me to keep the stories fresh in my mind while I retell the stories later in the week. My favorite stories to read were the Indian fairy tales as I enjoy fun, and short stories with a witty ending. These stories remind me of my childhood reading stories like these often which probably explains my attraction to them when I am in a new unit. I think my biggest accomplishment in this class is truly engaging and understanding with the stories. Some of the stories are from cultures that I do not really know, so I have really tried to understand research the stories so that I can grow my knowledge. Looking forward, I am excited to continue my storybook project. I was really excited to have the Greek mythology common app as an idea, and I think there is much to explore there. Writing the first story was somewhat tough, in terms of trying to recreate the story under my theme, but I will be able to master this skill as the year goes on.

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...
