Reading Options

Wow, I must say the Un-textbook has a lot of information and some pretty interesting stories too! I feel like I could click around and look at different articles on that sight for a long time, but I guess it is time to do some work. When clicking around I found myself staying near topics that are familiar to me. The first topic I came across was the Nursery Rhymes Unit. To my surprise, there are way more nursery rhymes than I could have ever imagined. Ones that told stories, paradoxes, riddles, and many more. I feel like I would do more reading in this unit because I am familiar with some aspects of nursery rhymes but I could also learn a lot more about this specific topic. Another reading that I came across that I found very interesting was the Unit: Great Plains and more specifically The Creation part of the unit. I liked this story because it was easy to read and kept me entertained. Also I have learned about the Great Plains before so I would like to learn more about them and the myths and folklores dealing with the Great Plains. One other section that I would really want to read more about in the future would be the unit on Adam and Eve. I grew up going to church and attending church camps and I would really like to read all about the articles on Adam and Eve and how the story has come to be today. Here is one of the photos that caught my eye when browsing through the Adam and Eve unit. I enjoy how much intensity this photo holds.

Introduction to an OU Cheerleader

Hello, my name is Christina Schutz and I am currently a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I am majoring in Health and Exercise Science with the hopes of going to PA school after graduation. One of my short term goals is to get a job this semester that is dealing with the medical field in order to increase my number of hours of experience because I will be applying to PA school this summer. I am looking forward to this semester even though I know it will be a hard one because I am taking O-Chem and Genetics. However, I am excited to learn about these subjects. I am a cheerleader here at the University of Oklahoma on the all-girl team. I mention this because I spend a lot of my time at cheer practice as well as cheering at events such as football, basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, and others. Over Christmas break, my team and I stayed in Norman to practice for nationals which took place this past weekend in Orlando, Florida. Although staying in Norman over the break and having prac

Week 7 Storytelling, The Unlucky Well

Image
One upon a time there was an old man who was very sick. He went to sleep one night and had a very vivid dream, almost as if the spirits were talking to him. He dreamed that a spirit came and got him from his bed and took him on an adventure. The spirit lead him to a boat which he got in and paddled down a river and ended up at the foot of a mountain. Then the spirit lead him all the way up the mountain without going on one single path. When he reached the top of the mountain there were two huge walls made of rocks which what seemed to be a gate in the middle. The gate looked like it could lead to something very important. From here it was his decision to walk through the gate or go back down the mountain. The old man decided to walk through the gate and was surprised as to what he found on the other side. On the other side of the gate was a large well that was very hard to get to. He tied a cup onto a stick and dipped it into the well and retrieved water from the well. After the long j
