Famous Last Words; End of School and OU Football

It is starting to become real to me that I am going to be finished with school forever in less than two weeks. It still feels like yesterday I was starting High School. I have another huge transition coming and that makes me anxious and happy all at the same time. When I started Kindergarten I got to go to Miami and watch OU win a national championship. Now, Im graduating college, I think its only fitting that they have an opportunity to win it again seventeen years later when I am done with school. I hope they make it there and when. I have already bought plane tickets to Atlanta. (No worries they are refundable). I am a bit ready to be done with school but I have a stressful two weeks ahead of me and lots of more writing to do. I feel like it never stops! I am excited to start my career though and begin to perfect my craft.

I have been through a lot in College and looking back at it, it has shaped me to become the person I am today. I have had to persevere many many times and that has just made me stronger mentally as a person. I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to now and I hope that will translate over to my job. I have had to take summer school and intersession courses the last two years to graduate on time and so I have not really had any break from school in a long time and I get a little two or three week break before I start my job and I am really looking forward to that. Anyways, there is only one week left in this class before I am done and I have to get moving on week fifteen. Ive gotten a lot out of this class and become a better writer because of it. Practice really does make perfect!

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan. I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting. Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf

Reading Notes: Tejas Legends, The Plant That Grows on Trees

The main characters of the story are the Thunder Bird and the Mistletoe I could change the names of the two main characters, maybe make the bird a squirrel and change what kind of plant is in the story. I could give a background about kissing under a mistletoe during christmas because birds would meet there and kiss under the mistletoe The bird could trick the mistletoe so that he could constantly have berries to feed on and that is why the thunder bird put the mistletoe in the tree. If a seed ever made it to the ground the plant would become bad luck and curse whoever ate the berries of the seeds off the grounded mistletoe.

Reading Notes EC; The Theft of Fire

Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest by Katharine Berry Judson I love all these native american unit stories because it explains things like why wood makes fire when you rub sticks together, or why the frog has no tail. The coyote in all these stories seems to be the sneaky character but also people trust him and follow him. The story explains how coyote stole fire for everyone when two hags were keeping it for themselves and wanted no one else to have it. Coyote and all the other animals would make a plan to steal the fire and bring it to the indians. They passed off the fire from animal to animal explaining what the fire did to each animal. Fire
