Famous Last Words, Snow Days

Another week has gone by, but this one was much more fun than the others this semester!

This week, we got about 2.5 snow days. I'm a junior here at OU and have never had a snow day, so I was way too excited for this to happen! On Tuesday, campus was closed at 12:45 p.m. I was in my 12:00 class and had just braved the freezing rain to get there, so that was a little upsetting. I was not upset about the other two day cancellations, though!

My roommates and I watched a whole lot of Netflix this week, and decided to use this time for lots of homework. We are all preparing for Cabo for Spring Break, so we're working out a lot and trying to eat healthier. This is almost impossible on snow days - I always want cookies, hot chocolate and brownies when it's cold!

My other classes are going well. Last week, I had two tests: one in sociology and one in media law. Both of the tests went well, and I'm glad I spent so much time studying for them. At the time, studying sucks... But getting a good grade on the test is worth the effort.

I plan to watch Alice in Wonderland this weekend, because I am rewriting these stories for my storybook. I am having trouble remembering all the details of Alice in Wonderland, so I know a refresher will help me generate some ideas for stories. I know the types of stories I want to do -- incorporating PR and technology -- but first I have to find the stories I can retell best with these added aspects. 

I've been impressed by others' stories, and it'll be fun to see how everyone revises their stories to end up with the best storybook possible. This class definitely makes me channel my inner creativity, which I love! I find myself always doing run of the mill class work, and this class makes me step outside the box. Here's to Week 7!

    Hi Demery! I like that you have this little recap post about the week. Is this an extra credit assignment? I too was super excited that we had 3 snow days, it was definitely needed. I enjoyed the lazy days of netflix and catching up on all my homework I may have neglected. That's super exciting that you and your roommates are going to Cabo, you're going to be tan while the rest of us are super pale. Enjoy your trip!

Introduction to a Future Olivia Pope*

Hi everyone, my name is Demery Pennington (pronounced like Emery, but with a D)! I am a junior public relations student at the University of Oklahoma. For those that don't know, PR helps companies keep a positive reputation, helps companies rely on ethics in decision-making and helps companies listen and and adapt to the needs of the public(s) that the company affects. I love PR because, as a very social person, it is very relationship and communication driven. Although I was born in the random place that is Helena, Montana, I have grown up most of my life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Here, I attended Union High School and met some of my very best friends. Growing up, gymnastics and cheerleading had a huge impact on my life. After doing gymnastics from age 3-14, I switched over to cheerleading in high school. My senior year I cheered competitively with both Union Varsity Cheer and Twist & Shout Diamonds , which took up a ton of my time (click on that link to see my competitive chee

Week 2 Story: Basilisk's Revenge

Image
Basilisk's Revenge Once upon a time, there was a mother and her three daughters. The mother loved her daughters dearly, and wanted to provide for them as much as she could. One day, the mother was heading out to the market. She generously asked her three daughters what gifts they wanted. The first two daughters gave a simple list of things that they wanted. However, the youngest daughter, Mary, asked for a list so extravagant that her mother knew she could not give her all that she'd wished for. Mary was not only demanding, but she was not easily pleased. The mother stumbled a bit past the market, and found herself in the midst of a terrifying creature. This creature was a basilisk: an animal resembling a dragon-bird hybrid. Image of a Basilisk by Friedrich Johann Justin Bertuch. The daughter's mother stumbled upon the basilisk and his kingdom in an effort to retrieve the gifts her daughters wanted, but she quickly found that she had made a mistake. "
