Week 8 Reading and Writing

1. Looking back. These assignments are working relatively well for me, and this being my second time taking this class, I find them rather effective. I am pretty happy with how my blog and my website are looking, I like the aesthetic I have gone with much better this semester than the last. I think my chosen topic being animals will go well with my last semester's project being about dogs, even if I was never able to complete it. Naturally, my favorite reading has been about animals. Specifically the Mongoose story I wrote about. My reading notes have helped me, but I find myself forgetting about them when it comes time to write my stories. My research strategies usually end up turning into google deep dives, so maybe I am not doing well with the research strategies and need to find a new one.

2. Image. This is my favorite image that I have used thus far because it is art created by an Indian artist named Madhubani. I really like the "vibe" that this image creates, and I especially love the color scheme. I have chosen o use this style of art on a lot of my posts.

3. Looking forward. Looking forward to this class, I need to start my weekly assignments sooner. I cannot continue to count on having time at the end of a long day to complete my assignments. Somedays I am simply too exhausted to be able to accomplish anything.

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
