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 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
