famous last words turning point

This weeks reading was my favorite so far. I found it much easier to read the fairy tale type stories than the classic indian epics. I always found it difficult to follow some of the epics just due to the names and how everyone was related. I also thought these fairy tales taught lessons which was fun to re-write. While reading some of other people's stories I liked the people who used the narrator within the story option. I feel like that is a type of style I have never used and could be a great challenge to try in the future. I am feeling a new motivation as the semester has past the midpoint. This is my first time doing extra credit! My other classes have felt quite overwhelming with a lot of big projects. This class has a lot of time consuming work so sometimes I am just happy to meet the deadlines and never feel like I have the time for extra credit. I am determined to make time for it as the semester comes to a close to earn that A I feel I deserve. This week moving forward I am determined to take charge in all of my classes. With holidays around the corner I need to make school my priority so I don't regret putting things off and ending up with a bad grade. Last week I decided to do the story lab for the first time and I found it very interesting. Grammar is something I am always getting notes on to fix in my stories so I watched the video series on language. Next week I am excited to write a story using one of the readings. I think this class is pushing my writing in general so will be a great tool in the future. I only have one major paper due this semester and although it is not creative writing I think my brainstorming skills have improved and will help me.

Physical Therapy sessions on Navy active duty in San Diego, Ca ( image source: Wikipedia ) My name is Brianna Pottage and this is my second year at OU. I like to think of myself as a woman of many titles. Mother, wife, student, veteran, baker, cross fitter and home maker. After spending six years in the Navy after high school I decided that I wanted to go back to school to get a degree in health and exercise science. I struggled after high school knowing what I wanted to do for a career and almost decided to go to culinary school. I have always loved to cook but I am happy I did not make that my career. I now can cook in the comfort of my own home without the pressures of working in a professional kitchen. I am from California but because my husband is still in the military we now are living in Oklahoma. I was happy this summer that my family was able to come visit me for a week. We rented a couple condos on grand lake and rented boats to spend time out on the lake. Thi

Shantanu sees the beautiful fisherwoman  Wikipedia   The Mahabharata, A Summary  by John Mandeville Macfie (1921). [400 words]  Dear Diary, Today has by far been the craziest day of my entire life. Growing up working with my father nobody ever complained of the fishy odor I have always had. My father tells me how beautiful I am everyday but I fear I will never find a true love to marry. Will any man ever accept me and the permanent smell of fish I carry with me. Today was the day I thought that my luck had changed. I was working with father on the ferry and a man caught my attention. Normally I try to avoid getting too close to customers for fear that they will judge me. Today the man on the boat was different, I could tell he desired me. I did not want to give in to this man because my body is for my future husband. He promised if I gave in I would remain pure. In an attempt to make a deal I wondered if he had the ability to make me no longer smell of fish. So against by b
