Indian Epics Work

In actuality, I'm one of those people who usually does good with time management and balancing a hundred things. I'm a huge creature of habit and will fall into the same old schedule week after week, which can be good and it can be bad. One of the articles I read mentioned habits. That is my biggest problem and also it's not a problem. Last semester for an example; my weeks went by on repeat, I work the exact same schedule every week and class is at the same time, then I fit in my homework time in all the extra time not designated to one of those. I got to church the same two times every week and everything repeats week after week. It works. Most definitely, but it gets old after some time. I struggle with not giving myself enough "me time." I'm a huge advocate about getting everything done, but you can't forget about yourself along the way. After a while, I know I have upcoming assignments that I need to start early on but I'm stressed because I h...

I have some experience with some of the sites we're going to be using. Before college, I took at least six computer classes, ranging from typing to using the different Microsoft Office applications. I hated it back then, but now I'm slightly thankful that I have a lot of skills regarding figuring out how to do things on different types of applications and websites.  Of course, anything unfamiliar sounds scary, but that's where the learning can happen. I do think this class will be the most involved with multiple sites and programs than any of the other classes I've taken. I'm just keeping the idea in the back  of my mind that every time I stepped out of my  comfort zone I only learned some more.  Technology by Nick Youngson http://www.thebluediamondgallery.com/handwriting/t/technology.html

Honestly, my first thought after reading over what this semester was going to be like I was a little terrified. Mostly because five to six hours of homework sounds menacing, but my excitement is rising little by little as I've dived into everything. I think the completion grade idea will help me a lot. I can focus on doing my assignments and not be stressing that it's not good enough once I've turned it in. I also feel like it allows for more creativity. As a very inexperienced writer, I'm excited to tackle the creative outlets. I was worried that I wouldn't have time to keep my creative juices flowing this semester because I'm not taking any more creative writing classes, but this should be perfect! I think the idea that everyone will be seeing our assignments is what will keep people motivated to do their best work. There's something about people seeing your work that makes you a little nervous about doing good work, at least it works that way for ...

I found myself agreeing with many of the points Carol Dweck made about her idea of the Growth Mindset. My agreement comes from my own experience. The hardest classes I've taken in college have been the ones that I came out feeling the most accomplished with upon completion. I took off a semester in the fall of 2017 and returned that following spring. I can remember when I started college I tried to avoid speaking in class, interaction with professors or classmates and trying to pick the classes that would allow me to sit in the safety of my bedroom for assignments. When I returned in the spring I enrolled in my classes and soon discovered that there were several assignments I was going to have to step outside of my comfort zone to do. I made the mental decision to buckle down and just do it, and I came out, in the end, feeling like I had grown in ability. Dweck's ideas brought me back to that. It's most definitely worth the risk of stepping outside of that comfort zone be...

I'll start with the basics, I'm an English Writing major with a minor in History. It might surprise you, I started out as a Math Education major. All through junior high and high school, I thought I wanted to be a high school math teacher when I grew up. One thing I've learned, don't try to plan everything out. It never works out the way you see it going. I started out at USAO in Chickasha, OK where I lived the most miserable year of my life. My best friend from high school chose to go to OU and I always said I would never go there because they were "too obsessed with football." Of course, OU is exactly where I ended up and I love it. Throughout my college career, I learned that I have a love for American Literature and that history is actually my thing. I hated history in high school, but taking a Western history class at OU opened my eyes. It's the connection between today and all of the yesterdays that make it so interesting. As my Oklahoma history ...

The first collection that caught my eye, "Love on Trial," took a very interesting twist towards the end. Usually, I'm all for the romantic happily ever after story, but I actually liked how the writer decided to have this woman stand up for herself and refuse to take the treatment bestowed on her. Originally, I assumed by the title that this would have a romantic ending, but I was under the wrong assumption. This gave me the sense that I can create stories the way I want them. I thought the layout was easy to navigate and helpful in that aspect, which seems like a good thing in the long run as an aid for readers. https://sites.google.com/site/ramavssita/home Scrolling through the long list of names, Hogwarts caught my eye. By the name of "Hogwarts: The Loyalty of Brothers," I found a fantastic combination of Harry Potter with names I recognize as material that I should come across this semester. I thought it was very creative and loved the way the writer ap...

Oklahoma by Nick Youngson CC BY-SA 3.0 Alpha Stock Images http://www.picserver.org/highway-signs2/o/oklahoma.html As weird as it sounds, my favorite place is Oklahoma. I've traveled all over the western side and some in the Northeast as well as the Southeastern part of the state. To me, there's so much diversity in the landscape that you have to see it all. I love the Oklahoma sky, to the point that I've taken countless pictures across the state of just the sky. Last semester I took a history class and a literature class focused on Oklahoma. I really enjoyed both of them, and I love to travel especially across my home state. Oklahoma Sky, Personal Collection Oklahoma Sky, Personal Collection
