Famous Last Words: Finally Done!

Yay! I made it! This is the home stretch of this semester and this class. I never thought I would make it. This semester has been nothing but difficult. I have worked so much this semester and have really struggled to get everything done. Honestly, I feel like I should have focused a little more on school, but now there is nothing I can do except move forward and do better next semester. 

Despite this, I feel really proud of what I have accomplished and the stories that I have created in my story portfolio. This class was unlike anything I have ever done before, and I am pleased with how my website and blog turned out. My work was by far not the best in the class, but this was way outside of my comfort zone but I decided to embrace it and try my best. 

I read so many amazing stories from other students in this class. Even though this class was mythology, I really think it allowed me to dive deep into my creative side. I might even keep my blog going or start a new one that will just allow me to express myself. I have tried doing journals but writing takes so long to do and I hate my hand writing. Typing it out might be a more efficient way to self-reflect. 

I'm kind of sad to leave this class. Laura has been so very kind and understanding whenever I did not do something right or needed a little more time to complete things. I appreciate that so much. I will miss having this class. It has been so fun (which I did not expect when I enrolled). Now, it is time to tackle senior year of college and I am so ready to move forward!

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 7 Story: The Snake and the Mouse

Image
Here is the link to this story on my portfolio!  Once upon a time, deep in the Jungle of Asia there was a snake who ruled the jungle. He was big and strong, and could eat anything he wanted. One day the snake was slithering along the jungle floor to the river to find something to eat. A mouse was bathing near the river and saw the snake come slithering his direction. The mouse was frightened and thought to himself "what can I do to defend myself against the snake? I am very small and not strong."  The mouse decided to approach the snake instead of letting the snake come to him.  "Hello" said the mouse.  "Why hello there you delicious looking mouse" smirked the snake. "Is there anything you wish to say before I swallow you up?" "Why yes there is. Little do you know that I am in fact the most powerful mouse in the jungle." said the mouse as he fluffed out his fur and made himself as big as he could. "I can jump from tree to tree and
