Myth-Folklore

Alice in Wonderland ,  Through the Looking-Glass ,  Beowulf ,  Homer's Iliad ,  Homer's Odyssey ,  King Arthur ,  Nursery Rhymes , and  Adam and Eve  are all units that I am interested in. I could not just pick three and feel satisfied. I read King Arthur and Beowulf in classes when I was younger and enjoyed them. I am excited to read stories from their original pieces. I know that I will have to plan my time wisely in order to get the reading and assignments done. I am looking forward to reading the stories. Random funny picture :)

Time management is something I have always struggled with. I spend so much time organizing calendars and writing to do lists that I do not actually follow through with my desired tasks. Just starting with the first article , I have learned so much. Creating the right environment and not focusing on small tasks before they add up are two things I struggle with. I need to implement the article  involving the four questions. If I were to ask myself these daily, my day-to-day would be more productive and I believe that I would be less stressed. During the school semester, I never feel like I have free time. Most of the problem is because I procrastinate work. I spend more time thinking of what I have to do instead of doing it, which brings me to the next article  that I am guilty of. This article is called The Myth of Too Busy.  I try not to use the word busy because someone should never be too busy to spare time for those they care about, or responsibilities that need to be fulfilled. The

I am familiar with some of the sites and programs mentioned. I am excited to learn about the others. I have never had to use this much of the internet for a class before, besides doing research projects. I cannot think of any web skills that I would like to work on, other than getting more familiar with the sites I have never used. This class is refreshing, because it is a break from my three upper division accounting classes. I'm your father!!! Technology Image

I am intrigued by the psychology aspect of this class. I can tell time and effort has been put into making this class unique. I always enjoy when a teacher loves what they teach. This class is unlike any others that I have taken. I am a little intimidated by story telling, because I haven't done it since middle school or high school, but I always enjoy a challenge. In regards to the extra credit, I am extremely pleased that it even exists in this class. I am also happy about the options we have. Extra credit is normally something someone does not want to do. Extra reading, HEART, famous last words, growth mindset, Wikipedia trails, and tech tips are the ones that stood out for me. Oprah is always giving away things.  Link here

growth mindset view the link here The Growth Mindset.   I have never heard of the growth mindset or Carol Dweck until now. I can understand why people support her ideas and learning tools. These videos bring a whole new world to kids and some adults who have seen learning or work one way their whole life. She thinks outside of the box and beyond. I would love to take what I have learned from these videos and apply it to the subjects that I am struggling with. If we all keep working at a certain task or subject, I believe that we can all have the "not yet" perspective on life. I was diagnosed with ADD about a year and a half ago. Before transferring to OU, classes were not that difficult for me at previous colleges. When I came to OU, I realized that I do not understand more difficult concepts as fast as everyone else. My short term memory is also lacking and memorization can be tough. But when I look at subjects with a more positive view than the alternative, I tend t

Hello! My name is Tabitha. I go by Tabi to the people who know me. I think Tabitha sounds like an older woman, so I shortened it for now and no, I cannot wiggle my nose like the daughter on  Bewitched.  Although, I do have blue eyes like her. Anyway, I am 25 years old. I transferred here after a few major changes. Going from a science degree to accounting took some time. I have been a senior a few years now. I make myself feel better by saying that I have two associate degrees. Accounting is something that has always been intriguing to me. It is interesting to me because accounting is like a huge difficult puzzle piece. Everything has its own place in accounting and it is my job to find it or fix the placement. I am currently going for my bachelors, then will get a job and work on my master’s degree in accounting. I have not picked a field yet, but I intend to before school ends for me.  I am a huge horror genre fan. I also love thrillers and supernatural type shows, books, an

Spooky Irish Ghost Stories https://sites.google.com/site/spookyirishghoststories/introduction I have always been a fan of the supernatural and horror stories, so this story drew my attention right away. I loved the pictures that were used in each of the stories. I liked the layout. It was just overall a very good project.  There were minor grammatical error, but I looked past them. I liked the suspense in the introduction and how it made you want to continue reading. I liked the line, “I swear on my favorite toys this is true.” Johnny’s Tale was comical and entertaining.  Ghostly Adventures https://sites.google.com/site/jonwilliamsstorybook/introduction This story was definitely unique. I liked how he included Oklahoma in his project and that he was the tour guide in the story. The creativity was just amazing. There is a story called Skirvin Hotel caught my eye because I have recently attended a wedding there. I was very interested to see what this story was about.  The

Cozumel, Mexico. The only time that I have been out of the United States was on a cruise. I took the Royal Caribbean to Jamaica, Cozumel, and the Cayman Islands. Cozumel was by far the prettiest. Many destinations in each place were comparable. but the later in Cozumel was so crystal clear and beautiful that is surpassed the rest. I have a Spanish minor and the Latin culture has always fascinated me.  Playa del Carmen And of course my family and I had to take a touristy photo. That is me in the pink tank top.  My mom, sister, uncle, and aunt are featured in this photo with a Cozumel native woman. We all went to the beach in Cozumel to swim, scuba dive, and have a few drinks. My pale skin did not favor the sun there, but I thought it was worth the sunburn (yes, even with sunblock.) 

This is a test. I repeat this is a test.
