Famous Last Words: Senioritis is a Pain

Senioritis is a Pain

We all know what it is. We've all been through it. Senioritis has definitely been hitting me hard lately. And it's only week 6 of this semester. I feel like I have so much to do that I just put it off thinking I'll do it later and then I run out of time. And that is the story of my life right there. 

For the last few weeks of reading, I think I've only done Part A because I always run out of time to read the other part. This last week's reading I actually found really interesting because it was about Ancient Egypt. However, it took me a while to read Part B because I just wasn't that interested in those stories and so I missed that assignment. I hope I am able to read both parts for this week's reading. 

I didn't really have any other writings last week except for the story in this class. I think I did a pretty good job on my story if I say so myself. However, looking back at it, there are things that I could have done differently, like wording something differenly. I think I could have used more imagery as well. 

I read one person's story while doing blog comments that I thought was really interesting. He included so much detail in his story that it provided such great imagery while reading. I really want to improve my writing so I can write something as detailed as this story by Andrew.

This week I am hoping to get not only all of the assignments done, but all of the extra credits done as well. I feel like I need to tell someone to hold me accountable for this so that I actually do this. I have so much to do this week so I might be holed up in the bizz for a couple hours everyday.

If you read this, I hope you have a great week! Boomer Sooner!

    Hi Shivani!
    I came across this post in the class blog directory and you really caught me with the Spongebob meme. My friends and I are constantly referencing this Spongebob episode where he forgets his name! I completely understand how you feel about not getting Part B of some reading completed because you put them off or find yourself not interested in the stories, I also find myself in that position quite often. However, I really enjoyed this post it made me feel not so alone on falling behind on somethings. I am sure we both will pull it together and find our way through this semester.

    HI Shivani! I completely relate to that spongebob gif and to this post in general. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes I just straight up forget to do things. Like a couple of weeks ago I forgot to take the canvas quizzes.....so I did all the work and forgot to get the credit. It will all work out in the end, but I definitely feel you on the running out of time. I hope we can all pull through!! Boomer Sooner.

Introduction to a Future Psychologist.

Hello Everyone! My name is Shivani Patel. This is my second time taking a class with Laura Gibbs. I took the Indian Epics class last fall and I loved it so I am excited to take this Myth and Folklore class this semester. I am from Clinton, OK but I'm happy to say that my family left the small town life behind and moved to Oklahoma City this summer. So I guess I can officially say I'm from OKC now. I was born in India but moved here with my family to the United State when I was about five years old. I am a 5th year senior Psychology major with a minor in Sociology. I'm graduating this December! (Whoop whoop!) If you had read my introduction post from last fall, it would say pre-PA as well, but sometimes you hit a bump in the road and your plan changes just like mine did. Now, I'm going for Psychology and currently in the process of applying to grad schools. My goal is to be a Clinical Psychologist so I know that's going to take a lot of work. Being a Psycho

Marine: The Secret Woman Marina being brought to the monastery by her father. Source: Wikimedia Commons . Marine watched as the other monks went about their day, doing various activities. Sometimes Marine wondered what it would be like to live in world outside of the monastery. But mostly, he wondered what it would be like to live his life as a woman. Because Marine in fact was a she, not a he.  A long time ago, Marine’s mother died and then her father entered a monastery and made Marine change her whole way of life. She was the only daughter but because they were to live in a monastery now, she had to pretend to be a boy. For 27 years, Marine kept up the charade. There were many, many days where she just wanted to scream out the truth, but for her father’s sake she kept quiet. One night Marine went into the woods to get some wood for the fire. She went too far away from the monastery and ended up staying in this man’s house with his family. Marine didn’t realize she wou
