Famous Last Words: On the Move

-
To wrap up this week, I will create my famous last words post. I find this assignment a good way to reflect what I have done with the week and what new information I have learned. I really enjoyed the reading this week. For me, I am able to retain more of the story from tales versus reading the epics themselves. After reading the different tales, I picked my top 3. The "Top 3 Readings" method has been very useful for my writing because I am able to go back and refer to the details to create my own story. I am looking forward to writing a new story for my portfolio next week. I feel that, as the semester is coming to an end, my writing style has started to improve. I still make mistakes, but it is getting better.

As for my life in Germany, this week has been great. I finished up the first month of my German language course. I am so happy that I am finally able to say a few words in German. I was even able to have a short conversation in German the other day. It is nice to see how my effort is starting to pay off. Because my classes have ended, I will go on a short adventure to France, Spain, and Portugal. Actually, as I write this post, I am on my way to the airport.

I hope you all are having a good weekend or Easter holiday! I know for me it is weird to not be with my family for Easter, but the Easter celebrations in Germany are just as great. And there are so many different types of chocolate.

As for an academic update, I just picked out my classes for my last semester at OU. It is crazy to see how fast time has gone. It feels like the other day I was on campus as a freshman.

    Hi there!
    I find it so amazing that you are able to continue learning so much while abroad. I went abroad during the summer and couldn't imagine doing any more work than I was assigned as I just wanted to see everything. I guess you do have much more time over there which is nice!
    Enjoy the rest of your time there and best of luck on that last semester of classes!

    It has been pretty cool to go back and look at how my own, as well as other's writings have improved throughout the semester. I feel like most of us started this class slightly confused with the structure, and how this all would work. As the semester has gone on it started to make a lot of sense, and feel very free.

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...
