Week 8 Comments and Feedback

 Overall I like the feedback that I have been getting throughout my stories.  They have been really positive and it's nice seeing a new perspective.  They are also really positive, and I really like that.  It is nice to see a lot of positivity on the blogs! I wish other comments threads and discussions were as positive as the comments that I have seen and received! It's cool to read comments about my story from a complete outside view.  For instance, if I need to explain something better or give more background information on a certain topic that can be pointed out! I also have enjoyed the comments that have pointed out suggestions or something that I could do different.  These kinds of comments help me to grow as a writer and think differently about my material.  I have enjoyed reading stories and giving feedback! It's neat to see all the ideas that people have come up with.  I love the projects, especially the storybooks.  I think it's fascinating to see all of the themes that people can come up with.  I find myself coming away from the stories very impressed; we have some talented writers in our class!  At times I forget I am reading a stories on a blog.  I love giving positive feedback, but at times struggle to give constructive criticism.  I am usually pretty impressed with the creativity of whoever is writing.  I think the WWW strategy has helped me with focusing on different aspects of the story in order to give better feedback.  I think blogs and comments help me and my peers connect.  It's nice to see the same names and read multiple stories from the same people.  Going forward, I hope to keep using the WWW strategy and to keep trying the TAG strategy.  I hope I can continue to improve in my feedback :) I have enjoyed the comments and feedback portion of the class immensely!

I like this meme because it emphasizes the growth that feedback can provide! Also, cats in trees are cute :)

Introduction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ : )

  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...
