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 :)

  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...
