week 8 progress

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with my progress in this class so far. I am on track with the schedule for the most part; I do the work each week to maintain a good grade. I feel like I have a good weekly routine because it aligns with my schedule that I basically designed for myself at the beginning of the semester. The readings are probably the most enjoyable assignment just because I like to read and I love reading stories from different places. The writing assignments are also fun because it lets us be creative and kind of takes us away from the "real world" a little bit. I also enjoy reading other students' stories. I have only used the extra credit options a few times because I fell behind one night and did not complete the assignments. It is definitely helpful to bring your grade back up or just to boost it. I like the "check-in/connection" extra credit because it's important for students to take a break and check-in on themselves. It's great that we can post/vent anonymously if necessary; it's like a stress reliever tool. Also, I love seeing the posts on the padlet page. Extra credit reading (stories from online textbook and students' stories) and commenting are also enjoyable, too. My blog and project website are coming along great. I think they kind of reflect me and my aesthetic. I don't have any issues when it comes to posting on my blog or creating pages on my website. 

I want to do more of the extra credit options, so my grades aren't falling behind or I can even try to finish the course ahead of time. I appreciate that there are a variety of extra credit options, too. Also, I work ~30 hours outside of school, so there are times when I'm just tired and I don't feel like doing anything. That being said, I don't want to procrastinate and leave things for the last minute. If I have free time where I'm already working on assignments, I should work ahead of the schedule and knock it out in one go. Then, I don't have to worry about them later in the week after work and/or with other classes.

Hey guys!  My name is Soriyana - say sor-ee-ya-na together quickly and that's how you pronounce my name! I've taken a similar class before and I actually liked reading different myths and stories, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this class.  Personal photo of me.  I am a biology/pre-pharmacy major planning on graduating this Fall 2020 at the University of Oklahoma. It can definitely be intimidating and scary getting to this point of your college career...and I am feeling that. However, I think it's great that people can go down various career paths with a biology degree; many people go into the healthcare field (i.e., dentist, physician, pharmacy, etc.), some go into the research, or one can become a biology teacher, and more. Of course, more schooling and education may be needed. When I am finished with school, I definitely want to get out of Oklahoma - possibly go back to Long Beach, California or go somewhere different like Savannah, Georgia? It may not even be either of...

week 13 story: the revelers' search for death

Image
I had heard about the terrible revelers of Flanders. A group of wild young men who caused trouble through their immoral and reckless behavior. Rioters. They gambled and drank all day and night. Stealing the richest assortment of foods and women, too. Very greedy. They had to be stopped. Dead or alive. Of course, I knew no other was brave enough to even try. And the revelers saw themselves as brothers; they would not hurt each other, much less dare to betray one another. Or would they?  I am Death. Everyone meets me sooner or later. It -- or rather I -- am inevitable. I know many people have heard stories about me. They are mostly true, but I don’t collect souls for unnecessary reasons. When the time is right, I will be there. When the time is close to one’s departure from life, I can feel it and I am drawn to it. I linger behind the light until they are ready for me.  Anyway, the group of revelers was a unique tale. The three of them were drinking one night in a tavern and ...
