Week 8: Progress

Reflecting on my progress thus far into the semester, I feel like I have a pretty good routine down for getting the things I need to get done for this class done. Some weeks can be a little bit hectic with my other classes, on top of random things like interviews and work. But overall, I really feel like this is a great way to break from some of my hard classes and just let my creativity flow. It is also a great way to relieve stress by typing and reading.

Looking forward, I am excited to see the new readings that we will read each week. Additionally, I am excited to read more people's storybooks and portfolios. Finally, I am excited to continue on with my own project and see how it turns out.

Here is a little motivation to get everyone through the rest of the semester!

  1. Hey Stephanie! I saw the picture of the hedgehog and so I chose this to do one of my blog comments on. I think that picture is hilarious and it makes me want a hedgehog. It sounds like your semester is going great so I encourage you to keep the positivity and roll with it through the harder times like Finals. Good luck with everything.

I love my family and I love that Tulsa isn't too far of a drive from them. And they can make the trip up to see me too. I have a younger brother, Adam, who just moved into his freshman year at the University of Arkansas, and I am so excited to see where his life takes him in the next couple of years. Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of...

Reading Notes: Czech Folktales Part A

This week I wanted to get ahead and dive into the European Unit. The Czech Folktales immediately stood out to me because of my ancestry in Poland. The Polish and Czech have many similarities culturally, so I wanted to see what kinds of story telling techniques and story plots the Czechs told. The first story in this part of the reading was Sleepy John. I thought that the character development in this story was really cool because initially you have John who sleeps all the time. This gets him into some unusual and difficult situations, but he manages to overcome them. By the end of the story, Sleepy John has obtained the entire kingdom. As a whole, I thought it was really cool that a character that was initially thought to have some negative characteristics turned out to be an awesome and smart character. Maybe he was just tired all the time from all the crazy situations he gets himself into. The next story was Silly Jura. This trend in the title names started to attract my attentio...
