Famous Last Words: First month of class

 


    This week has not been one of my best weeks. Obviously, hence why I am having to do extra credit to make up for the reading assignments that I missed. This week has been rather emotional for me, and I think I am feeling the full extent of senior burn out. I am been working non stop at two jobs while taking 16 credit hours and holy crap has it been way too much for me to handle. I am so grateful for the people in my inner circle but sometimes I just need a nap. But I also can't help but wanna kick myself for napping, like yesterday I slept all day. Literally. I woke up at 6am to go to work, got off at 1pm, and slept until 7pm. Then I woke up, drank some wine, and went to bed at 10pm. Today I am being productive, however. I had to put it into overdrive to make up for all of the assignments I have missed. This upcoming week I need to make sure that I actually go to my zoom classes, make an effort to show up in person, and actually put in genuine effort into my classes. I keep having these "manic" spurts where I will get everything for the week done in a day and then think that I have no more responsibility for the week. I am not sure how to correct this issue, but I guess ranting on this blog post does something to make myself more aware of my issues. I think if I stop putting work ahead of my school work then I will be a lot better off. I have been putting a lot of stock into coaching wrestling, too, so when I cannot be with my athletes for an extended period I feel like I lose part of my motivation to want to do better for myself. I guess that is all that is on my mind for now. Wow, sorry for the word vomit. I just had to get all of my thoughts out I guess.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher

  Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher     Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. 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 worl...

Week Thirteen: Back up and Review

  Thoughts:     Some of my favorite videos on the internet are Crash Course videos. I LOVE these videos as a classroom tool. I really enjoy learning more about history through different avenues, and I really feel that Crash Course History has some of the most accessible lessons on the internet. I learned that basically anywhere there is a civilization, there is likely to be a historical flood associated with that civilization. Almost every major civilization we know of has been ravished by a flood, and they always see it as symbolic in some sort of lore. This is my last blog post for the semester and my last post for this class ever. I have taken this class twice now, so I am sort of attached to this class in a weird way since it has been part of my daily routine for the last year, practically. Overall, as my last post, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have this course as an option for my Gen-ed course work.  Video:    Flood Legends of the Americas...
