Two of My Favorite Places

     
It was way too hard to pick just one favorite place since I moved so much growing up, almost every three years. My favorite place tends to be wherever my family is living currently, but I decided to be more objective and pick only one from all the places we lived.
 
That would be San Antonio! Of course, everyone remembers the Alamo,

but my actual favorite place to go in San Antonio growing up was to the Pearl District near downtown. It's a cute area full of great food, shopping, and views of the riverwalk.

It's just one of the many places I loved in San Antonio when we lived there for seven years, a family record.


My second favorite place is Cape Town, South Africa where I got to stay with my aunt for two weeks after my senior year of high school. It was so incredibly beautiful and we got to road trip around going to different landmarks and parks together.

One of my absolute favorite memories is going to Addo National Elephant Park and getting to see the African elephants in their natural habitat up close!

    Oh, that is so exciting, Meghan: an elephant! Beautiful! You will find lots of elephants in the stories that come from India and Africa in this class. And here's a coincidence: someone else has named Cape Town as a favorite place: My Favorite Place - Cape Town! -- that's Smith from the Indian Epics class. There will probably be some other mentions of San Antonio (because it is such a great city!)... but having two mentions of Cape Town already is a very cool coincidence!

Introduction to Meghan a ChemE Major

In case you couldn't tell from the incredibly boring title, I am not great at talking about myself. I always have a hard time deciding what actually makes me interesting or what people want to hear about me so I'll start with the basics.  I am a senior chemical engineering major here at OU. I have three cats at home but they're a pretty new addition so I don't have any pictures yet (sad I know). I've always wanted a dog but my mom doesn't like them so here we are. I never tell anyone I'm from somewhere since my family has moved almost every three years since I can remember. To date I have lived in: Hazen, ND, Salt Lake City, UT, San Antonio, TX, Ardmore, OK, San Antonio, TX (again), Nashville, TN, Prosper, TX, and of course Norman, OK. Moving around so much gave me a lot of appreciation for new places and new people. I enjoy traveling and am not afraid to go somewhere new. After graduation, I will be moving to Memphis, TN to start my new job! (Photo...

Week 9 Story: Why Cats and Dogs aren't Friends

Why Cats and Dogs aren't Friends (Cat and Dog Fighting from Wikipedia Commons ) There once was a man and a wife who lived in a village. They weren’t rich but they weren’t poor either. One day, foolishly, they decided to sell a valuable gold ring to increase their riches. Unbeknownst to them, the gold ring was magic and ensured that its owner would always be of comfortable wealth. After selling the gold ring they quickly became very poor. They were so poor that they were unable to provide filling meals to their pets: a dog named Rigby and a cat named Holly. “We’re starving Rigby. It’s been months since we’ve had a filling meal,” complained Holly. “I know. If only we could get the gold ring back. Things would be better,” replied Rigby. “I know!” exclaimed Holly. “We could get the ring back. The new owner lives just across the river.” “You know they keep the gold ring locked in a chest. How would we ever get it back?” Rigby questioned. “I’ll catch a mous...
