Famous Last Words: Spring Break Week

This week has honestly been rough for me. I did not complete either reading assignment just because I have been so overwhelmed. I have been working more than normal because people have been quitting my job. I feel really bad because this class sometimes gets moved to the back burner and it is not intentional but by the time I have time to sit down and do my work for this class, it is past midnight. I just really wish OU would have given us at least a day or two to have a mental health day because I could really use one. I have not been eating or sleeping regularly and I think that is also affecting my mental focus. I am trying to stay positive for this upcoming week but honestly, I think I will be even more overwhelmed because I have 3 midterms. I have not even begun to study for one of them and I don't think I will even get the chance to. I am going to try my best to do the readings for this week because I think it will lead to a more structured and successful week overall. I took a couple days off work this week so maybe that will also help me to destress and catch back up with everything I need to get done. I really am trying and I feel like some professors do not see that. I also got my first covid vaccine this past Thursday and it really made me sick. I had a 102 fever, body aches, and a stabbing headache. I think it is probably due to me having an autoimmune disease, but I ended up also missing an entire day of classes so that added to my stress. My professors did not even email me back when I told them I was missing it because of my vaccine. Hopefully, I can get back on track soon.

Introduction to a Criminal Analysis Enthusiast

Hello everyone! My name is Syd and I will be taking a Mythology and Folklore class this semester at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently a junior majoring in psychology with a minor in spanish!  My goal for my degree is to be a professor at a research institute like OU one day, or working for the FBI to analyze serial killers... I haven't quite decided which I find more exciting. As a kid, I grew up watching Criminal Minds, 48 hours, and NCIS most nights. My mother of course did not want me watching those things because I was 6 years old, but when she would go to sleep I would sneak into the living room and turn on the crime channel. I have always been fascinated by the idea that a normal person can suddenly turn into a violent killer. I have studied many famous killers like Ted Bundy for example. For my 9th birthday I got this really big book filled with all the most popular serial killers to date. Needless to say I read that thing everyday.  It is safe to say that my favori

Week 3 Story: The Town of Ishmiel

Image
There once was a man named Ezekiel who was cursed with a blind eye. People would stare and point whenever they saw him because his eye was as white as the snow that spread across the tundra. His mother told him not to worry and that some lady would come along and love him for who he was. However, Ezekiel was impatient and longed to find this lovely lady instead of waiting for her to come to him. He traveled for days at a time, looking for the one woman who would love him the way he is; but he had no success.  Just when Ezekiel began to give up all hope of finding his love, an angel came down from the heavens and proclaimed "Ezekiel you have been blessed, for the Lord has heard your cries for a lovely lady of your own and has decided to grant you with your wish". Ezekiel fell to his knees and wept tears of joy. His days of searching were behind him. The angel then said "go to the town of Ishmiel and find the most beautiful suitor, for she is waiting for you".  Ezekie
