Famous Last Words: Halfway There!


Wrapping up this week officially signals the halfway point in the semester. It has gone by so quickly yet seems like this semester is dragging on. Usually at this point in the semester my grades are a little more on sturdy ground. I will have to work my butt off the next several weeks to get them back to where I’m comfortable with them.

I was finally able to catch back up in this class and for the most part, have been able to stay on top of the assignments this week. I say this at 11:30pm on Sunday night! However, I did have better time management this week and knew that I had a lot going on and to start early. I was able to knock out half of the assignments in one morning which freed up time to work on other assignments during the week.

I had a work conference in Tulsa on Tuesday, a full day at work and school Wednesday, parent teacher conference Thursday, and two birthday parties to attend this weekend. I’m exhausted and ready to find time to sleep!

In this class, I have read quite a few of other people’s versions of the epics. I have to say, there are some really creative people out there! Even if they don’t have a writing style that I particularly care for, they have great ideas! I read one about Star Wars weapons, one about a weather girl and several other that were fun to read. I also read the story of the Foolish, Timid Rabbit in several different versions. In my version, I did this as a police chase. I also read a version of a playground and one other one that was a whole different perspective. I thought it was so fun to see that the same story being re-told could be three completely separate versions in all different directions.

I’m hoping that this week coming up is equally as manageable as this week. I have two more days off and most of the time is unplanned as of yet. I’m hoping to get a jump start on this week’s assignments and maybe into next. Or do as much extra credit as I can to get caught back up on points. We will see how this goes!

This is my homework helper for the week. I get up for five seconds and he steals my spot! However, he is too cute to stay mad at for long. I love his little squishy face!

Comment Wall: Extraordinary Tales

Title: Copenhagen, Denmark Source:  Wikimedia Welcome to the comments section for my portfolio page. I will be adding stories to my portfolio that reflect some of my favorites from the Epics we read. These stories will be versions told in my own words with my own personality. I hope you enjoy the read and feel free to comment, suggest or give feedback on the things you like, don't like or could use improvement. Here is a link to my  GoogleSites . Enjoy the read and have a great semester! P.S. Image information - I originally had set this up to be a storybook. After getting behind, it was best for me to switch. However, I decided to leave the coffee picture as my image. While I won't be talking about food for my storybook, coffee is still an important thing in my life. Every time I sit down to write a story, I ALWAYS have a cup close by. It helps my brain do it's thing. I felt it fitting to leave the image here since it is a part of every story (even if not exp

Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah

I will admit I'm not very witty when it comes to creating titles for things. So I thought I'd Google ideas to be creative with my phrasing of the word introduction. The first thing that came up was a list of 74 catchy blog titles that will grab people's attention. A list of fill in the blank titles. After trying to add "introduction" to each of the titles, the one I settled on made me giggle the most: Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah. If you want to see the list for yourself, you can follow this link:  Funny Blog Titles . As the title suggests, my name is Sarah. I'm double majoring in accounting and MIS and I plan to apply for the accelerated master program at the end of the semester and start working towards my masters in MIT. However, I may just settle for one bachelors and be done with it! I have been going to school for the better part of a decade now and have changed majors so many times I've lost track. I am married and have children. M

Week 12 Story: A Single Soul

** I have also put this story on my Portfolio Page, found  here . The night air crackled with the heat. The coolness of the water clashed with the air and an eerie fog danced across the surface of the lake. Despite low visibility near the ground, the night sky shone bright. The moon bathed each surface in a pale-yellow glow. Every star painted the heavens with a brilliance that made her mind at peace, even if for just a brief second. This was her favorite time of the morning, when the earth was at it quietest. Adeline sat atop the banyan tree overlooking the lake. A heavy sigh escaped her lips. As the quiet crept in, her mind began to wander. She struggled to come to terms with her choices. Leaving her home in the city was necessary, but she was so lonely. The kind of lonely that made her chest ache in a way that made the hopelessness seem vast and never ending. She wondered if she would ever become numb to that feeling. She wondered if she would ever find happiness again. Los
