Week 8 Reading and Writing

This semester I have really enjoyed writing blog posts based off of stories we read. I think it is interesting to read stories that were from different cultures and  time periods. I have found that I like to try and base my new stories off of movies. I find for me that it boost more creativity when I retell the story. My favorite had to have been the stories from Asia and Africa. I am in another class called African Repercussions, so it was interesting to compare the folklore stories to things I have learned in another class.

So far with the storybook I have enjoyed being creative, which is something that I do not typically get to do in my other classes. I have found that I need to review grammar rules a bit more. I have dyslexia so I have always struggled with grammar. I like though that I am able to be creative through my stories, I just need to focus more on adding detail so that the reader feels as if they are there.

Overall, I have really enjoyed this class. I like that you can go at your own pace and get ahead. I would recommend this class to anyone who is wanting to take something that is different from their traditional major classes.

Introducing Me... Alanna Curry!!

This past summer I spent my time interning at the Four Seasons Resort in Dallas. Although, I am not a hospitality major I was interested in the internship because I love interacting with people and like the idea of making someone dreams come true through their stay at the resort. When I have free time ( which is never), I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, working out, and shopping. During the school year, I work at Orangetheory Fitness in Moore. I love working here because it is a fun atmosphere and it encourages me to work out. My favorite thing about OU is the football! I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last y...
