Famous Last Last Words: Week 15

-
What a semester! This will be one of my final blog posts for the semester. How did the time go by so quickly? I am honored to have had the chance to meet all of you in both my Indian Epics section and the section for mythology. I have spent this final week catching up on some of the final points and assignments that I have been lacking. I have realized my portfolio finally came together at the end. It was really interesting to go back and reread what I have written back at the beginning of the semester and see how it has transformed in the revision process. I want to thank everyone who commented on my portfolio because your comments really did help me become a better writer.

As for my life outside of class this week, I have been super busy (like always haha). My aunt surprised me in Heidelberg. I was not expecting her to come to Europe while I was here. I had a really nice time showing her around my city. We also decided to take a mini road trip to Cologne, Germany. I loved it there so much! Also, May 1st is the Labor Day holiday in Europe. So, classes where canceled. On this day, it is common for students to go hiking and chill in the mountains all day. I thought that this was a really cool tradition to have. So, naturally, I had to see what all of the excitement about hiking was too. It was a really great day to be with friends and meet new people. And my classes this week were pretty easy. We are still in the beginning part of the semester. So, I have not started the preparation of all of my essays and projects for the rest of the semester.

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 see places like Japan and Taiwan. Every pla

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
