Famous Last Words: Getting into the Groove

Starting out in this class was a little difficult. By that I mean all of the blogging was a bit draining on me. I am not used to writing so much in so little time, especially on an online medium. Even being creative for writing stories was a bit of a struggle. But now it is the end of week 3, and I can say that I am now getting into the groove of it all. Thank goodness. Now that I have been working out my brain in getting my thoughts and ideas out onto both paper and word processors, the whole processes have been flowing out with greater ease. I look back and think that writing the first two stories so far has been a blast! The ideas I was able to churn out and use just left me giddy and laughing for days. For anyone interested, here are links to my stories from Week 2 and Week 3.

My other classes amazingly are still quite slow in terms of everything. Given that they are all only two days a week, I suppose this is understandable. I will admit that I am a bit behind in the readings for my other classes. Shame on me for letting that happen. Once I finish writing this post, however, I plan on working to catch up on them.

On an unrelated and more personal note, this week I was finally able to begin moving into my new apartment. Moving during the semester is obviously a pain in the butt. On the bright side, this is the time of year when Halloween stuff starts popping up everywhere! I don't think I mentioned anywhere else, but Halloween is my favorite holiday. It offers so many great finds for year-round house decorations! I am so excited!

    Hey Molly,
    I completely agree with you on how online blogging is draining. I did not expect to take the amount of time that it does, but I definitely have to say that it is an experience. The way I like to think about it is most classes meet for 3 hours in class and then you have that same amount of time outside of class for homework, or more. This class kind of makes the work the class, if that makes sense. Hope you finish moving soon!

Introduction to a Tech-Savvy, Overly Caffeinated, Artsy, Green Thumb

Image
Hi, there! My name is Molly. I am a third year Computer Science major at the University of Oklahoma.   Image of Bizzell Memorial Library on the University of Oklahoma campus Web Source: Wikipedia Commons   So first of all, I am not good at coming up with titles. Second, I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is to describe myself as "tech-savvy," but I couldn't think of a better way to put it. As stated before, I am a Computer Science major, so I know how to program in languages like Java and C++. In the years before college when school was still free, I also learned a bit about mobile application and game development. I'm not much of a fan in terms of dealing with hardware, but a year or two ago someone gave me a Raspberry Pi 2, a small but malleable computer, which I was finally able to work on over the summer and turn into a small media box.

Week 11 Story: In Pursuit of a Jewel

Image
Bhama crept through the shadows. She was currently tailing her uncle, Prasenajit, while he was traveling to another country. Recently her father, Satrajit, claimed that he had acquired a jewel known as the Syamantaka from the Sun God that would give him fifty measures of gold per day. Bhama did not doubt the power of this jewel, but she did doubt her father's story of its origin. She knew he must have stolen it at some point while he had gone to visit those aboriginal people in the forest. Her uncle borrowed it because it also has the power to protect its holder from the dangers of the forest. She followed him now in hopes to recover it and return the jewel to its rightful owners. Suddenly a lion burst out from the brush in front of Prasenajit. He squealed in terror. "B-b-back y-you b-b-beast!" he yelled. He thrust the jewel out in front of him in the direction of the lion. It snarled and prowled around him in a circle. Prasenajit's legs were shaking wildly and unco...
