Reading Notes Part B: Marriage Tales

This is an interesting set of stories. In many of them, the human turns into an animal or vice versa. I know that the Native American tribes' spirituality aligns closely with animals. I am Osage. It took me some time to pick a story. I think it is because I could not follow along with some of them due to either their names in the story or just how crazy it was. I can easily write about humans turning into other animals and doing something unique or strange. This story will be easy to write. I just need it to be worthy of my portfolio, so there is some pressure there.

Back up and Review

Reality This week has been tough for me with work and my school load. I am working on managing my time more effectively. I am going to get caught up with everything soon. I have group projects in all my classes except this one. It can just be challenging to find the time. My favorite graphic is the girl running away from the ghost with “reality” written on it. She is running into a book, which sums up my life in so many ways. I love reading to get out of my own head. It is a chance to explore another world and feel emotions that the characters are feeling. It is nice to escape responsibilities sometimes. Taking a bath and reading is my favorite thing to do. Failing Superman was the most interesting video I found. I am a little on the nerdy side, so using superheroes to explain information about different people and what others are capable of. It talks about asking everyone to do the same task when everyone has a different set of skills. 

All the Assignments...

I am intrigued by the stories we get to write about. I love reading stories from different parts of the world. I am very excited for the extra credit and I know making time for the extra credit is difficult, but worth it. I love when a professor takes the time to set up their class in such a unique way. It really shows that they love what they do and I cannot be more appreciative. I am ready to give this class my full attention. Too Tired to Function
