Famous Last Words: what to do

This week’s reading was interesting. I was not a huge fan of the Celtic Tales and because of that, the story writing was not the easiest to come up with. I did really enjoy the extra reading about floods and it was cool to explore that further through the Wikipedia trails.

My best writing this week was probably on a story I have been working on personally. I have always thought it would be cool to write a novel, and when I was younger I tried to a lot more, but lately I have been trying to start again. I think it is probably terrible and will never be shown to anyone but it is fun to dream and nice to try.

I am always impressed when people try poetry or prose and so that definitely influenced my story telling this week.

My other classes are killing me. I am taking Anatomy and physiology 2 and I want to die thinking about that class. I think the professor is really mean and intimidating and I need to go to his office hours but even the thought of that makes me want to drop out of college three weeks before graduation and move far, far away.

Outside of school, I am just trying to prepare to graduate and move home. In the news, everything just stresses me out. I am so disappointed in the government but I am hopeful with so much diversity being brought to the house from the midterms.

Next week in this class, I strive for the ever elusive “getting ahead”. Wishful thinking, but I guess it is better than planning on procrastinating. At least I have goals to be different. And beyond that, I cannot think about for too long. I just wish someone would or could tell me what I am supposed to do with my life. Am I supposed to go to nursing school? Am I supposed to play it safe? Should I pack up all my things and move to South Korea? Does anyone know? If so please feel free to leave suggestions.

    Hi Kennedie! I'm so sorry that your anatomy professor is mean and intimidating.

    Nice to meet you Kennedie. I'm Peter, and I'm an international student from Seoul, Korea. You mentioned about possibly moving to Korea. As you see in the picture (btw I know that massive building; it's Lotte World Tower and is tallest in Korea), Korea is a beautiful place.

    It's really far from here (there's no direct flight from OKC to Seoul, so you'll probably need to take connecting flights), but I think it's worthy going and visiting. It's a totally different place from here and English is not spoken, but I think it's a fun place with lots of things to do. There are many jobs in Korea, including teaching English to kids and adults.

    Let me know if you have questions about the place! I'm taking a flight back to Korea in a couple of weeks, and excited to go back & visit family.

Introduction to an Almost Graduate

Hello! My name is Kennedie Milligan and I am a (super)senior at the University of Oklahoma. I am a Communication major, a Women and Gender Studies minor, and 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 went 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 in December and then I am 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 August (hence the extra semester of undergrad to get my prereqs in) and so I am a little late to that game. I have always k...

Dealings of Gold

I was minding my own business one day, as I always do, and then I heard the saddest noise. It was a girl crying so I followed the sound to the castle. There I found the most beautiful woman. She told me of the predicament she found herself in. It seems that there was a misunderstanding between her and her mother.             It all began with a slip of a few words, which led her to believe she could eat the five pies her mother had just baked. It was a simple confusion, but of course, her mother was angry. To taunt her about the mistake she began to sing a song about it, but it also so happen that the king was walking by that day and heard the mother’s song. The mother was embarrassed that her daughter had been so thoughtless and ate all five pies, so when asked about the song, the mother said that it was about her daughter sewing five gold strings. The king was so impressed that he married the mother on the condit...
