Famous Last Words: Midterms are hitting hard

Reading this week went well, I made time to do both parts of the reading as well as the extra credit reading. I liked reading Arabian nights to compare the story of Aladdin to the one that I was used to watching on Disney growing up. I also really enjoyed the parrot in Tales of a Parrot who tried to keep the main mistress from committing adultery while her husband was out of town by telling her stories to captivate her attention and keep her from leaving. I thought it was a comical story line and super interesting to read as well. I sadly ended up not having time to write my story this week because I was too busy drowning in my other classes. I usually put a lot of time into writing because I like to plan out what I want to write before I write it and I didn’t want to rush the writing for this class because then I would end up with a story that I am not proud of. I really enjoyed the storybook introductions that I read this week. I am super excited to read the storybook about tricksters coming together to see who is the best and the princesses from all around the world. Their introductions were so well written and persuasive that they hooked me in. I have not slept much at all this past week and I still won’t be able to this upcoming week because of all of the midterms and essays due. After this upcoming week though, I’ll finally have time to catch up and get ahead for this class rather than constantly straggling behind. I did host an exciting event this weekend that was a divisional event so all of the universities in Oklahoma came to OU for this community service event.

Introduction to an Adventurous Girl

If I could sum myself up in one word, it would have to be clumsy! I once dislocated my knee while watching a movie and I have sprained my ankle quite a few times from falling down the stairs or just tripping over air. I am a micro-biology major entering into my junior year at OU. I aspire to be a physician’s associate one day in urgent care and then pediatric orthopedics. I have insanely over protective parents, so this one time when I got a nose bleed, they called 911... I have 3 older siblings (yes, the last time we took a picture together was my high school graduation). I hear a lot of people say that they don't get along with their siblings but I spend a lot of time hanging out with my brothers and sister.                                                                          My siblings and I at my high school graduation: Photo taken by Van Tran I love being outdoors so I was mostly outside this summer playing volleyball, swimming, hiking, playing tennis, and getting

Week 4 Story: A Lion without his Tail

Image
   This story is now on my portfolio:  link     A lion was on his usual hunting routine in the forest. He stealthily hid behind trees and bushes as he tried to stay out of sight of his prey. He moved slowly to avoid making any noise. Behind the bushes, a group of hunters were camouflaged and slowly approaching the antelope with the same goal in mind as the lion. The hunters set traps in the forest ahead of time and were waiting to scare the antelope into one of their traps in order to capture the antelope. The lion was so focused on the antelope in plain sight that he did not realize the people in the forest who were also hunting the antelope. The lion beat the hunters to making the first move as he decided to dash straight towards the antelope. The lion built up speed so that the antelope would not have enough time to run away but by the time the lion spotted the trap, it was too late to stop his momentum and he ran straight into a trap set by the hunters. He managed to move fast en
