Week 8 Reading and Writing

-
The reading for this class has been good! At times, I have found them a little hard to follow just because there are a lot of characters with names that are not familiar to me, and places that are also unfamiliar. The reading notes help, but I definitely would like to branch out on the styles of note taking. I am also happy with my writing, but again think branching out more would be good for growing my writing. My portfolio has been fun so far and I am excited to add another story to it. I think my biggest accomplishment so far has been catching up so much last week on work. 

This is one of my favorite photos that I have used because it is what I picture when I think about being productive. I love going to coffee shops to study because I find being in my apartment very distracting. So when I need to get something done, I go to a coffee shop usually Grey Owl but if I am in a particular funk then I make it all the way to Boxcar and then I try to drink enough coffee to fuel a small army. 

Looking forward, I need to do lots of extra credit to get back on track, as well as stop worrying about doing things perfect. I have a problem with doing things half way, where if I feel like I cannot give 150% then I just will not do the thing altogether. This is a problem with school because honestly sometimes I just need to get an assignment done instead of studying each facet of the assignment for hours.

Introduction to an indecisive girl

(Arlo rocking a bun, personal photo) Hello! My name is Kennedie Milligan and I am a senior at the University of Oklahoma. I am a Communication major and a Women and Gender Studies minor. I am also pre-nursing. These three things may seem like a random grouping, but I have a lot of interests and am slightly indecisive, so this is what I have come up with. I was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, but I went from 3 rd grade to high school in Broken Arrow and that is where my parents still live today. I have 3 brothers, and from my older brother I have 3 nieces. My entire family is pretty much in Oklahoma and has been my entire life. There is not a lot I am sure of in life, but I am sure that I need out of this state. I am graduating (hopefully) in December and then I am (even more hopefully) going to nursing school. I want to go to a accelerated program for my BSN out of state because I am afraid if I don’t leave now then I will never get out. I just decided to do nursing last Au

Week 13 Story: The Princes' Tree

Once upon a time, there was a legend of a great tree in the middle of the forest. Only those with a true heart could find it. The tree was the biggest and oldest tree in all the land. The tree was said to have magical powers, which controlled the weather. In this land, there was also a palace where 4 young princes lived. They had heard of the tree and wanted to find out for themselves what magic the tree held. When the oldest prince was 12, he was allowed to go on his journey to search for the tree. He left for a week and when he returned he told stories of the great tree but was afraid that it was dead because it had no leaves. The second to oldest prince knew this could not be true because the great tree had been alive forever so when he turned 12 the next year, he too was permitted to go find the tree. It took him almost a week to find it as well, but he returned with stories of its greatness and beauty. The tree he saw had blooming flowers all over it. Now the younger two prince
