Week 13: Famous Last Words

This week has been such a crazy week! In this class, it was a really good week for me. Usually, when I send in my first draft of my storybook stories, I end up having a lot of revising to do with it, but this week I had hardly any! It felt really good to finally get the hang of the story and to figure out the direction I wanted to go with it... even if it is towards the end of the project. I have really enjoyed this storybook project because it is so much different than anything I have ever done in a class before! It has really brought out a more creative side of me, and has definitely helped me with my writing skills. I honestly cannot believe that this class is coming to an end already. This semester has flown by so fast! Sometimes I wish time would just slow down. I have been enjoying every minute of my junior year, because I know how quickly the rest of the year is going to go by! It is exciting, but also scary, to think about life after college. I'm not sure if I am ready to go out into the real world already! Anyways, outside of this class, this past week has been pretty stressful for me. I have had multiple tests, and I am studying for my GRE exam that I am taking next week.. so keep your fingers crossed for me! It is the last thing I need to do before I finish my application for OT school. I also just declared a second major, Human Relations. I decided to go with this major because I am one of those people that really wants to work hands on with people in my future career. If I don't get into OT school this year, then I will be able to graduate with a Human Relations degree, and hopefully find something that I love doing with that, and then apply again later on to OT school.

Week 9: Famous Last Words

I'm not going to lie, this week has been a tough one! Coming back from OU/TX, I had a slow start with all of my homework and assignments this week. Thankfully, for extra credit I can catch up on my points from missed assignments! One of the reasons why I love this class so much is because there is a lot of freedom to do what you want with your blog. It is also so exciting to me when I see page views and comments on my blog and knowing that people are actually reading what I am writing! I love that there are only the basic criteria for the blog posts, and the rest is up to our creativity. This class has really helped me to expand my mind, and bring out the more creative side of me. Since I am majoring in the health field, I don't have to do much writing for my classes, so this class has definitely helped me work on my writing and grammar skills. Looking back on all of the work we have done this semester, it is really cool to look at the progress made with each week and to see our blogs and storybooks change, grow, and become better! Even though this week was a tough one for me, I definitely plan to get back on schedule next week and work harder! I am really excited for this weekend because it is finally the homecoming game! We get to walk with our float in the homecoming parade before the game, which is always one of my favorite things to do! I love getting to see all of the different floats each year, it just amazes me what people can actually do with some paper and some wire! The homecoming pep rally is friday night, which is also always a blast! Even though we are cheering for our specific houses or groups to win the competition, we are all ultimately one and are rooting for the same team! BOOMER SOONER!

Week 1: Famous Last Words

So far I feel really great about this class. It took me a couple of days to get comfortable with the layout of the class and with the blogging, but I quickly got the hang of it! Looking back at this week, I am amazed that I have actually created a blog! I am really proud of myself for sticking with this course and getting as involved in it as I have. I would say my best writing for this class so far would be the "My Favorite Places" post, because it was my very first post and I was really excited to get to share a little bit about myself and my amazing journey this summer. I discovered that in order for my blog posts to be great, they must be authentic and representative of myself. When I am writing a post, I try to make them relatable and personable so that they are more enjoyable to the readers. Since this class opened a week early, I was able to get far ahead and work on the assignments before classes had actually begun. This was really nice because I was able to focus all of my attention on this class and these assignments. Now that school has officially begun, I'm already finding it more difficult to stay ahead with all of my other classes. I am in a couple of really tough classes this semester that require a huge chunk of time, but I definitely think it is manageable since this schedule is so flexible. Something really cool that I heard of this passed week was that the University of Oklahoma's admissions office planned to deliver the first acceptance letter for this next year in a huge way. They loaded up all of the football players, cheerleaders, the band, pom girls, ruffnecks, the schooner, and as many students as they could fit onto 6 charter buses, and personally delivered the acceptance letter. I thought this was just such a cool thing for our university to do and it really represents our pride and "family-like" campus. I just thought this was so cool and had to share! Overall, this has been an amazing first week of the semester and I cannot wait for the many more to come!
