Good Afternoon Everyone! As I have started to finish up the last part of the week 1 assignment list, I have gained an understanding of how this class will be for the rest of the semester. I really like how every assignment is outlined and very easy to understand. I also am thankful that this class is very flexible. I am very interested in learning about these epics, but less stressful knowing that I can take my time to understand the material. I am most excited about the project. It is a very fun way to learn about the stories that we will be reading throughout the semester. It is very different than the traditional lectures that I have taken during my time at OU. I am also looking forward to talking with the other students taking this course. Although it is online, there is still a sense of community with the commenting section of the assignments.

Good Luck to everyone this semester!

During my stay there, I was not only a student, but I also worked at an NGO in marketing to help with North Korean defectors. This experience for me really changed my point of view because I was able to learn about other cultures while learning more about myself.    As soon as I turned 18, I did not know what to do with my life, I always followed what my friends were doing. But, when I first studied abroad, I wanted to take the time to learn what I wanted to do and what makes me happy. This drive helped me to...

Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying By  Katrina Schwartz One thing that I already knew about sleep was that it is important to your mental health. But, it is very challenging to get the right about of sleep every night. One new thing that I learned while reading this article was that many children are facing serious sleep derivation issues. This is affects test scores around the country. The study conducted was to see what happens with a child is able to properly rest. By sleeping, children are able to retain and recall more information. One thing that this article has inspired me to do is to stop cramming. By cramming in essays or projects at the last minute, I am not able to sleep overnight. This leads to my work not having as good of quality and my personality changes depending on how tired I am.
