Week 8 Progress

Looking Back: I have not been doing a good job keeping up with all of the posts I need to be doing, and I need to reassess my schedule so that I can be sure to get everything out of this class that it has to offer. I am happy with the writing I have done so far - I don't have a lot of chances to creatively write, and I've never considered it my strong suit, so some of the writing I've done for this class shows me that I can evolve my writing style.

Looking Forward: I want to have more fun with this class - it's unlike any class I've even taken and I would like to put it in a different spot in my schedule so that I can run with it.


I chose this image because the original Wonder Woman was such an inspiration to me growing up. I was very timid when I was younger, and my mom would always tell me to take a Wonder Woman stance like the one above when I was nervous about something. Other than literally helping your mind to feel less scared and promote confidence hormones, etc., it just reminded me that you can move forward, always, for the things you care about and want to accomplish.

I have two siblings, a 9 year-old brother and a 2 year-old sister, both the best little humans to grace this earth. I've enjoyed my time at OU, during which I spent a semester at Kyungpook National University in Daegu, South Korea. During my time there, I was able to hike many of the mountains surrounding Daegu, visit some gorgeous temples and sites of historical significance, and also hop over to Japan for a little less than a week. I've also been to Frankfurt, Heidelberg, and surrounding towns in Germany. I love both places.     My most recent international travel took me to Monterrey, Mexico, with my fiancé and his mother. He was born there, and still has a large part of his family living there. It was lovely to meet them, and they were kind enough to take me all over the city, visiting museums and parks, and eating lots of amazing foo...

Reading Notes: Nine Ideal Women Part E

This will be the last of my reading notes on Nine Ideal Indian Women, so I'll be going over the last stories about Damayanti and Uttara, but mostly just talking about the book as a whole and wrapping up my thoughts about it. Damayanti was the miracle daughter of a maharajah who had not had children for most of his life. A phrase that I really loved in the beginning of the story that described his happiness all blighted by this one sorrow of being childless:      "A crumpled leaf lay in his bed of roses, and whichever way he turned he felt it, for no child had come to bless his manhood and his whole being yearned for the joy of hearing the name of father fall from baby lips" (page 175). I loved that quote because it was the most poetic and graceful way of showing the sorrow of being childless I had seen out of all of the multiple instances in the stories I've read throughout the semester.  This story was also more poetic than most of the others throughout. It remin...
