Famous Last Words: Thanksgiving Break

Title: Pumpkin Pie

I chose this image because pumpkin pie is  my favorite thing about Thanksgiving!


Two weeks left! Where has this semester gone? I feel like it went by so fast. Faster than any other semester has gone before. I guess I should be thankful for that, but at the same time, I feel like I’m no prepared for the end of it!
For my reading this week I decided to look at some stories of Buddha. I think this was the name I recognized the most coming into this class. However, I knew nothing about him really. So, I think it was interesting to learn a little bit more about the Buddha.
This week I wrote a new story based off the Giant Crab story. I had a hard time being creative this week so I really don’t think that the story is up to par with the rest of the stories that I have written this semester. However, I did at least do it. And there is something there. I find it hard to write less than 1000 words for these stories. I don’t know how people can tell a whole story in three hundred words!
As far as other people’s writing, I feel like I see all types. It’s fascinating to see how other people write and how they describe and explain things. I think it’s interesting too to see how their brains come up with new and inventive things. I am finding it harder and harder to find posts that I haven’t already read though. I guess finishing early has its perks because there was a lot more to comment on. I might have to peruse some of the stories from week four, five and six. (The weeks I didn’t complete any assignments for this course.)
I’m glad that this week is Thanksgiving. Not because we are doing anything special and grand, but it’s a break from everything. Work and school. And we decided not to travel this year for the holidays so it will be just our little family at home. I cannot wait!

Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah

Image
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...

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...

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. ...
