Week 8 Progress

I am definitely happy with my progress so far! It was very easy for me to get into the groove of this class after the first couple of weeks.  I love the structure of this course--you always know what you need to do to get your work done in a timely manner.  It's been easy for me to establish a weekly routine for the assignments.  I am happy with how I have kept up with it so far! I'm still the most proud of my Hanuman story--it was so fun to write! Stories allow me to be more creative than I can be in my other courses, so for that reason stories are probably my favorite assignments.  The only extra credit option I have used so far is the Story Lab.  I'm looking forward to using more extra credit options in the near future.  I have always felt good about the state of my blog, and I love how my website is coming together.  I feel as though the more I add, the more both of these sites show my personality.  Looking forward, I'm definitely going to keep my same routine.  I'm looking forward to utilizing more extra credit options in the future. Extra blog comments seem like a good way to connect with my classmates even more.  I also want to try the microfiction--I've never tried to create something like that.  I feel like that's a whole different level of creativity! I can't think of any pitfalls--mostly I just want to keep the same time management.  I can see how it would be easy to get behind if you start slacking.  The assignments would just have a snowball effect.  I want to maybe try different style of the stories than the ones I have been doing.  I like my website and blog set up right now! Maybe I will want to change some details as the semester continues.

Introduction to myself

    Hello! My name is Christian.  My major is biology and I transferred into OU from a small school in Memphis.  Originally my major was Civil Engineering, but it took me about a month to realize I really didn't enjoy those classes and I did not want to think about concrete the rest of my life.  I picked biology for the simple reason that it was the subject that interested me the most; I really had no idea what I would want to do with a degree in biology.  It's still been hard for me to truly decide what I'd like to do after college, seeing as I always knew I wouldn't want to do medical school or some other long, arduous program.  Just recently I have become more fascinated with the growing field of biotechnology.  I'm looking to move in that direction after I graduate.      Growing up, I loved sports.  I was on competitive teams for basketball and baseball.  It wasn't uncommon for my teams to travel across Oklahoma and sometimes into adjacent states.  As I gre

My Favorite Place: Cairns, Australia

Image
Ten years ago I traveled to Australia with my brother, father, and grandfather.  Several years before this trip, my grandfather had saved up his money to support my sick grandmother if she needed to have extended stays in a hospital or nursing home.  Sadly, her health deteriorated quickly and she passed away before she ever needed assisted living in a nursing home. My grandfather, having saved a fair sum of money, decided he wanted to take his grandchildren traveling around the world.  This trip to Australia would be the first of several travels outside of the United States.  Though we traveled to several cities within Australia, including Sydney, I remember the city of Cairns as my favorite stop on the trip.  In fact, I now remember it as my favorite place.  It was a beach town, with beautiful white sand beaches and delicious sea food.  I was able to snorkel around the Great Barrier Reef with my brother and father, and we even spotted a small shark.  To this day, I know for a fact tha
