Famous Last Words: What a Week!

-
This week, I was finally able to read the last sections for Mahabharata. It took so many weeks for me to be able to wrap up the story, but I am so glad that I did. I really ended up enjoying the ending. It felt that there were no open ends left to talk about. Although I did not enjoy this epic as much as the stories of Rama, it was still entertaining to read. 

 Outside of working on my website, this week I ran into a website of another student in our class. Although I cannot remmeber her name, it has such a nice layout. It gave me inspiration in the formatting that I should use for my future stories for my porfolio. 

 These past weeks, my German language lecture finally started. For the past three weeks, I have taken a lot of time to study German. When I first arrived in Germany, I could not speak anything. Now, I am able to have a small conversation. It is crazy to see how much progress I made in a matter of weeks. I am really excited and motivated to learn German. The middle of April will start the German semester, so I still have about one more month before I start taking other lectures. 

 As for next week, I will continue to work on the assignments for this class. Outside of school, I will go to Toulouse, France this weekend. I am very excited about this new journey. My roommates from two years ago are from there. I never actually thought that I would get the opportunity to see them again, but somehow the right time finally came. After France, I will stop by Spain for a few days before I go back to Germany. I am very happy to get to travel again for the next week.

Introduction to a Traveler

(Image Information: personal photo me in Taiwan; photo from June 2017.)     Hello Everyone! My name is Kelsea Long. I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma majoring in International Studies with 3 minors.   Throughout my time at OU, I have had the opportunity to study abroad 2 times. I chose to go to Seoul, South Korea each time. I started learning Korean at a young age, so I was able to adjust to Korean life very fast. 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...

Week 2 Story: Always the Villain

Notice: This Story will be used in my portfolio this semester.  WEBSITE LINK (Image Taken From Google ) There once was a pond deep in the middle of nowhere. This pond was special because there was an abundance of fish and wildlife. Among the wildlife, there was a crane. This crane was no ordinary crane, he was lonelier than the rest. Day by day, he would befriend the fish in the pond because of his lack of crane friends. Crane: "Hey guys! How are you today?" The Fish (in unison): "Hey crane! We are good. Do you want to play with us today?" In response, the Crane agreed. He just wanted to have some friends. Being a crane is a lonely life. As time passed, he grew hungry from playing in the water. It was getting closer to his lunchtime. We suggested to the fish that they play by a tree. He did not know that fish could not breathe out of the water. During the first trip across the pond, the fish died. Because he was hungry, it decided it was best t...
