Week 8 Reading and Writing

Looking Back

I would say that writing for this class is harder than I anticipated. There are some days where I feel inspired and the writing really flows. Other times I really struggle to even come up with an idea and then I absolutely cannot write a story. I think that is pretty classic writer's block though. I think my use of the blogger has definitely gotten better and I like my blog. It fits the theme I decided for it which was just the color purple.

The thing I have enjoyed the most this semester is the reading. I really do love to read fairytales and folktales. Some of the stories have really inspired me and surprised me. I loved the 22 Goblins reading from the Middle Eastern and Indian week. Those stories were really surprising and fun. I loved the riddle format.

I've also enjoyed creating my storybook more than I thought I would. When I first heard about the project I kind of thought I would dread it and not have any ideas but I was actually really excited by the idea I came up. I think suitor test fairy tales can be so fun and I really enjoy reading and writing about them. I'm excited to see how my project comes out at the end!

I really like this picture mostly because I just think it's funny. His cape makes me laugh and the smile on his face is so mischevious it really embodied the spirit of the goblins I read about.

Looking Forward
I think I need to stop putting off writing so much. Once I start writing I get kind of inspired and it comes easier than I think it's going to. Plus it's easier to just edit or change what's written than it is to try and plan it all out in my head.

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...
