I was surprised that I was able to pick out all of my reading options! I don't remember having so many choices last semester :) but I love that I'm able to pick out the readings, and also have a general idea of what I can look forward to for the semester.  Each week there are exciting new options! I'm pretty stoked with the options that I have picked out so far.  I'm especially excited to read about the different European versions of classical folklore.  I was surprised by the variety from the weekly options--bible stories and Greek mythology in the same week is pretty sweet!  I didn't have any other readings come to mind, I felt like the options presented covered a wide range of options! Now I'm looking forward to making stories as well as doing readings for this class :)

This summer I got a job doing research at OMRF.  Although I love the work I get to do there, I'm not sure if I want to commit to working in a lab in the long-term just yet.        Growing up, I lov

My Favorite Place: Cairns, Australia

Image
 Ten years ago I traveled to Australia with my brother, father, and grandfather.  Several years before this trip, my grandfather had saved up his money to support my sick grandmother if she needed to have extended stays in a hospital or nursing home.  Sadly, her health deteriorated quickly and she passed away before she ever needed assisted living in a nursing home. My grandfather, having saved a fair sum of money, decided he wanted to take his grandchildren traveling around the world.  This trip to Australia would be the first of several travels outside of the United States.  Though we traveled to several cities within Australia, including Sydney, I remember the city of Cairns as my favorite stop on the trip.  In fact, I now remember it as my favorite place.  It was a beach town, with beautiful white sand beaches and delicious sea food.  I was able to snorkel around the Great Barrier Reef with my brother and father, and we even spotted a small shark.  To this day, I know for a fact th
