Week 8 Progress

Looking Back
I am very happy with my progress and my ability to work ahead so far this semester. I make sure to work ahead in this class whenever I have free time, and it has paid off! After looking into the progress chart, I am at 252 points in week eight. This is already very ahead because I have done all the required assignments and various extra credit projects. This will prove to be well worth it when finals come around and I have one less class to stress about! My favorite class assignments are probably the stories, because I like the challenge of changing original stories and making them my own. This is difficult for me sometimes, but it's fun to channel my inner creativity.

Looking Forward
For the second half of the semester, I'm going to make sure to plan out my last two stories for my story book super clearly before writing. Before writing my intro and story one, I knew my main goal, but thought up the supporting details as I went. This caused me to have a lot of room for improvement (which I've since fixed), and it shows me that I can include many more descriptions to reach my full potential! I plan to create an outline for my next two stories so that I can make sure to include all that I want to from Alice in Wonderland's original story.

"Woah, lemon on a pear" resembling "Living on a Prayer" by Ben Jovi. LOL.

I looked up "Living on a Prayer" memes relating to the song and got this and thought it was too funny not to share. But, really - we're halfway through the semester already! Let's do this!

    I definitely feel how you feel about the weight of a class being lifted as we get closer to finals week. Even though we are only half way through, I can see the studying on the horizon. I have managed to stay ahead in spite of taking a break for a while, but now I'm back in the saddle. It's sad that I can't slack off any more, but the break was needed, and I'm sure you'll appreciate the hard work you've put in once you finish off the class!

    Hey Demery! I agree that it's probably best to get ahead in this class while you can before other classes really start ramping up... I'm trying to do the same thing! Extra credit really helps and with any luck I'll be able to finish by the end of this week. The finish line is in sight! I also think it's smart to pre-plan the stories, and it sounds like you'll be well-prepared to do so.

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. "
