Diving into the Assignments

After reviewing some of the assignments that we will be doing throughout the following weeks, my first impression was "Wow that is a lot of assignments!" At first I struggled to understand why there were so many.  I know that we don't have a class period where we meet and so I guess that this is a good way to keep us involved and thinking about the material throughout the week, instead of just every saturday afternoon when everything comes due. So it seems like I will be more engaged in this class than most of my other classes, simply because there will be a steady stream of little things to keep me focused on the material we are covering.  I am looking forward to really getting into the heart of this class and the readings we are covering.

  1. Blake, there's still time to add/drop today, and if you can tell that this is not going to be a good class for you (using tools outside of Canvas, lots of writing, etc.), then by all means find a class that you will like better. Fifteen weeks is a long time to spend on a class if there is nothing about the class appeals to you! The new search at One.ou.edu makes it easy to find Gen. Ed. classes (if you are taking this class for Gen. Ed.). I see the blogging as a way to connect, share, communicate, etc. (for example, learning what you like / don't like about the class so far)... but if it feels like busywork to you, my guess is that you will be very disappointed by this class. Since this is the last day of add/drop, now is the time to look for something you would like better!

Introduction Post

Hi! My name is Blake Allred and I am majoring in International Relations with a minor in Spanish.  I chose this major because I love travelling and meeting new people and learning about their cultures and traditions.  One of my favorite things about the classes I take is the chance that I have to meet other people from a very diverse range of backgrounds.  If all goes well, I will be graduating this semester, so this part of my college journey is coming to an end.  I’m still not sure how I feel about this, it is kind of a mixture between excitement and dread, but overall, I am glad I could have such a wonderful experience here at OU and that I am now able to graduate. This summer we went on a family vacation to visit my grandparents who live in rural Colorado.  My grandpa is a retired pilot and owns his own plane and built his retirement home right next to a remote airstrip.  When we went there this summer, I was able to go out flying with him and even fly his plane for a while.  It

Week 4 Storytelling "The Jump"

  Photo Source Cold shivers ran the length of Psyche’s spine as she contemplated the crashing waves breaking against the sharp rocks hundreds of feet below her.  Tears streamed down her cheeks, aided by the frigid wind and brought on by the terrible sadness in her heart.  She glanced back at her family, at her loving parents, at her weeping sisters.  This was the last time she would ever see their faces. Her heart stopped as she leapt, every muscle in her body clenched and her vision went black as the rushing air slipped past her small frame.  She was acutely aware of her own beating heart, its dull drumbeat strangely isolated from her own screams and those of the wind.  Then, everything was black. She opened her eyes, not to the sight of the underworld, but to the rushing ocean.  The wind whistled around her and she realized that she was flying through the air, rapidly, propelled by some invisible hand.  She started, and nearly fainted again as the memory of her jump was brou
