Week 7: Famous Last Words

(Dental Bridge Focus

Crazy to think that this semester is one of my easiest, but also one of the most time-consuming. I find myself unable to read a lot in this class the past two weeks due to the dental school applications cycle, and my interviews.

However, it's been fun missing out on class in order to travel and see other states. I've been enjoying my glassblowing class a lot, but, unfortunately, I was the first person to get burned. My professor was wondering when one of us was going to get burned, and lo behold, I was the first one. It definitely was not a fun experience, but I found that my burn wasn't too bad, and it healed fairly quickly!

I was not able to go on the ghost tour as I had planned to last weekend due to dental school stuff again, but I know a lot of the tour guides in the tour guide office. I plan to meet with one of them sometime this week or next, and just see if they'd be willing to tell me more about the stories they were told and any details I might miss by just reading the books!

I can't believe that the semester is almost already halfway over and that I'm going to be advised for my last undergraduate college semester ever. It's crazy! But, I am very very excited to see what the next year after graduation holds for me. 

I hope to really get through this week, and get a story done because I know I haven't written one in forever! I am excited to see how my storybook progresses as I spend some time this weekend really reading these ghost stories, and imagining what will happen next to Jane!

And, honestly, who isn't excited for OU/TX this weekend? I am so excited, but also keep dwelling on this past weekend's game. Either way, I am looking forward to this upcoming week!

Week 3: Famous Last Words - Busy Already

Well, this semester has already started out pretty crazy. From the end of Howdy Week, until now, I have been fully submerged in trying to get a handle on my classes this semester, assignments, and upcoming classes.

I am, however, really looking forward to the rest of the semester in this class, especially now that I have decided upon my Storybook Project (go check out my Topic Research post). 

Having been in this class before, I can really say that this has got to be one of my favorite class formats. And, I am looking forward to the readings this semester. There have been a lot of books that still have yet to be checked off on my bucket list, and some of them will this semester as I'll get the opportunity to read them in this class! I am so excited!

The next two weeks of September are going to be crazy with tests in several of my classes, but this semester, I seem to be the least stressed than I ever have been before. The classes I am taking are pretty manageable (which I guess is a blessing having knocked out so many classes with AP credits).

So, I guess I am just enjoying my last year here at OU. And.. football, of course. I am still in awe after watching yesterday's game, and cannot wait for the rest of the season to continue. I remember going to the OU vs OSU game last year and leaving after 3rd quarter because we were being beaten so badly. But, boy, did we show them this time. Our defense has definitely kicked it up a notch, and wow, I am so proud to be a Sooner.

I don't have to go to work this week, as I am preparing for some tests I have next week (which is so nice!). But, it doesn't mean I get a break. I'll just be studying instead. So, I am looking forward to the assignments this week as really this class is my break time because I really enjoy the material, and am always looking forward to what's happening next.

I decided to do an extra reading this week, and came across Georgian Folktales! Below are the notes I took from some of the stories I reall...
