Week 8 Reading & Writing

-

Woo-hoo! We are halfway finished with this Fall semester; it's October which means it's almost Halloween (I am dressing up as Plankton and my boyfriend is going to be Mr. Krabs, what are you going to be?) and the weather is cooling down! I can only hope that we get a snowy winter! 

Anyways, I have been having a stressful semester so far and it seems like it is only getting worse, time goes by way too quick! I am, however, enjoying this class a lot. I like how it is set up via the announcement website, blogs, quizzes, projects, etc. The reading and writing assignments are going decently well. I am a little behind which is daunting. I am happy with the layout and design of my Blog page, but I do need to add more stories to it, I have plenty of reading notes though. I am also pleased with my website, although I think I would like to add a little more to it, e.g. moving graphics, choose-your-own-path selections, etc. I have created a couple of good stories on my blog, but I think I could produce more that are a little more interesting. I also have the one story on my website, which I have edited before, but there is some feedback from other students that I need to fix. 

As I said, I am going to add a few more stories to my blog and web page. The reading notes are very helpful when creating stories. The notes help me keep track of everything I need to re-create the story or at the least the links to help me get more information on the original story, characters, etc. My favorite story so far is called Twenty-Two Goblins. It's my favorite because it's dark and eerie, there is a twist, as well as magic and mystical creatures. The repetition is also very frustrating, which, for some reason, is appealing to me.

Hello,  My name is Madison, but I also go by Madi. I am studying Criminology at the University of Oklahoma and I am on track to graduate in May 2019. I took twenty hours during the last spring semester and I am happy to share that I got all A's. One of the most interesting classes I have had for my major is an internship over this last summer. I interned at Mabel Basset Correctional Center, a women's prison in McLoud, Oklahoma. As awesome as that sounds, it was also very mentally and emotionally draining. Sometimes, I like to think that I would enjoy working as a Case Manager there, but I also believe it would wear me and my family down because there is never a dull moment and there are times when it can get pretty hostile. On a lighter note, I live in Norman with my three cats: Todd, Tater-Tot, and Poe.  I work at the Law Office of Paula K. Sullivan as an assistant. This job is great because I am thinking about going to law school after I graduate if I do not go for a Ma

Week 4 Story: Pinky and the Snake

Once upon a time, there was a brave Pinky . He liked to go on adventures, but his parents made sure that he never strayed too far. Before he left on his adventures, they always reminded him, "Now son, don't wander too far or the Snake will get to you quicker than we can."  One evening, the Pinky decided to sneak out of his home. He zipped through the tall grass, climbed over rocks, squeezed under logs when suddenly he began to hear the babbling brook. He followed the sound, and as he got closer the sounds grew louder until finally, he stumbled upon the rushing water. As the Pinky walked along the brook, he ran into the Grasshopper, who was playing his jazzy tune. The Pinky asked, "Excuse me, but why do you make so much noise this late at night?"  And the Grasshopper replied, "So that those who wonder have something to listen for." Confused, the Pinky closed his eyes, focused on the Grasshopper's song, and took in a deep breath
