Week 8 Progress

 Yes I am definitely happy with my progress so far.  I think it's pretty neat to watch the blog expand as the weeks fly by! I think I am most proud of my stories this semester.  I have tried to branch out a bit, but it's safe to say I like writing the same kinds of stories.  I think that's why I have enjoyed the adventure readings so much, like Sinbad.  I like getting new sources of inspiration, and I really appreciate that I was able to pick out which readings I wanted to do in the reading overview assignment.  I've also transitioned into thinking more about a long story.  For instance, having multiple stories that are all apart of a bigger story.  I have always appreciated that aspect of storybooks.  As for my routine, I have mostly been doing the assignments around when I work. I like the extra credit options a lot; it definitely makes the deadlines seem less stressful.  Moving forward, I want to continue to improve my writing.  I like using writing stories as an outlet and it has been a lot of fun to express my creativity in this way.  I am happy with my blog and website and I am excited for the rest of the semester :) 


Though it's a basic motivational saying, I feel like we need this advice now more than ever! Let's keep it up guys :)

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.        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
