Assignments - First Impressions

Woohoo! I am closing in on the last day of my last first week of college! What a wonderful feeling. Anyways, with this course, I am fairly familiar with the layout and the course expectations. It is a lot less daunting the second time around, and things sure make a lot more sense. Of course, my only true experience with a class like this, is well, the other section of the course. I am mainly excited about the new content material. My favorite part about the course is how forgiving it is. There is a lot of margin for error, there are grace periods, and there is extra credit. There is always a way to make up a grade and improve our writing abilities. My favorite part of taking the course is that my grade wasn't necessary based upon the content of my writing, but Laura is especially concerned with ensuring that we are improving, even without the motivation of a grade. Something I am looking forward to trying in the future is getting ahead of the course. I noticed that some of my peers had knocked out weeks, or even months, worth of work in the first couple of weeks. It was truly impressive what sort of work people were able to create, and I am jealous of their abilities to do their coursework and manage their time so efficiently.

In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the world. I just

Week Four Story: The Bridge

The bridge between the Mainland and Lanka is a magical sight. This is Rama's bridge. Although it has been thousands of years since the creation of the bridge connecting the two regions, the bridge is still used by many. People say it used to connect what is now Sri Lanka and India, the gorgeous limestone meets the rock and the earth so wonderfully. It is mostly a tourist spot now, but peoples say that the rocky islands were constructed by Nala, son of Vishwakarman , the "divine artisan," in order to allow enemies to cross the ocean. This was allegedly demanded by the God of Ocean to keep things fair and reasonable. This small series of islands that create a land bridge between the two countries serves a special purpose in my life, however. I grew up along this land bridge, and I know more secrets of the bridge than many. I know what wars have been fought and won because of this bridge. I know of what Rama and Sita faced during the creation of this bridge, and the p
