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 :)

  Hello! My name is Christian.  My major is biology and I transferred into OU from a small school in Memphis.  Originally my major was Civil Engineering, but it took me about a month to realize I really didn't enjoy those classes and I did not want to think about concrete the rest of my life.  I picked biology for the simple reason that it was the subject that interested me the most; I really had no idea what I would want to do with a degree in biology.  It's still been hard for me to truly decide what I'd like to do after college, seeing as I always knew I wouldn't want to do medical school or some other long, arduous program.  Just recently I have become more fascinated with the growing field of biotechnology.  I'm looking to move in that direction after I graduate. 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. ...

Week 7 Story: The White Lotus Lodge

And so I continued on my journey.  I wasn't sure where I was going, but I had a feeling that I was headed the right direction.  After another long day of travel, I came upon a welcome surprise: an inn! An old inn, but an inn nonetheless on top of the hill.  I hadn't seen a building in weeks, let alone a person.  Some roads are less traveled than others, and I was starting to feel that perhaps this road was not a common one.  I must admit, at times I felt as though there was an unnatural energy to the place.  There would be no one for miles, and all of the sudden I would hear laughter or shouting.  The convenient thing about traveling alone was that, in those unnatural times, there was no one present to confirm the voices.  "Maybe it's all in my head," I would think aloud.  At times, it seemed easier to convince myself that I was crazy instead of actually acknowledging that those were REAL sounds.  I could deny the supernatural happenings...
