Famous Last Words: Last Week of Class

This is my third-to-last assignment for this class. I still need to do the back-up and review extra credit and final revisions, and then I will have completed everything! I truly can not believe how quickly this semester has gone by, while also seemingly going by so slowly. The pandemic definitely has made this semester different than any other, and it has definitely been more difficult in a lot of ways. This upcoming week is going to primarily revolve around finishing up this class, as well as finishing up some final projects and essays in other classes. I also am awful about procrastination, so I also have some assignments to make up in another class. Hopefully this week will be fairly calm and without any complications. My overall goal for this week is to finish up all of my classes (minus a final that I can not access until Monday) so that next week I do not have to worry about anything and I can just enjoy the fact that I will be done with school forever at that point! Unfortunately I do not get to have a normal graduation party (thanks Covid) but I will get to see my family and watch the virtual graduation with them. I truly can not believe that I am almost finished with college. I have had a great four and a half years (it would have been just four but I changed my major about four times) and have made so many great memories and lifelong friendships. I am so happy to be able to call myself a University of Oklahoma alumna in just under two weeks.

Introduction to Me

Image
 Hi! My name is Natalie. I am a senior at the University of Oklahoma, and I am graduating this semester! I bounced around majors quite a bit before finally finding the one that suits my interests and talents. I am majoring in Sociology with a focus in Criminology, and minoring in Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Analysis. I am originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma but am currently living and working in Norman. After graduation, I do not know exactly what career path I want to pursue, but ideally I would love one that has something to do with forensics of some sort. Specifically, I am very interested in fingerprinting, blood splatter analysis, and other types of trace evidence analysis. I have always been fascinated with those types of things, so I would love the opportunity to do that for a living. I also enjoy photography a lot, so I am interested in the idea of documenting crime scenes or being a crime scene photographer as well.  In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching televisio

Week 4 Story: A retelling of the story of Arachne

Image
Current version at  my portfolio name is Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. Once, long ago, I had heard rumors of a young mortal girl in the village of Maeonia who thought that she was the most skilled weaver to have ever lived. She went by the name Arachne, and -to be quite frank- was nothing all that special- the definition of a mere mortal. She did not come from a noble family, nor did she have much money. She was good at weaving, I will give her that, but definitely not good enough for her to claim that no one else could compete with her. As you likely already know, I myself am quite skilled in the art of weaving. I can depict beautiful scenes with the yarn in a fraction of the time that it would take most mortals. One day, I decided that I had had enough of her attitude. So I left my home on Olympus and went to pay Arachne a little visit. Of course, I could not let her know who I was before I challenged her, as anyone with a brain would refuse such an unfairly weighted game. So I

Port Aransas... My Favorite Place

Image
One of my favorite places is Port Aransas, Texas. It is a small island on the Gulf Coast, right next to Corpus Christi. My family and I went to Port Aransas for vacation for the first time when I was about eight years old. Since then, we have returned four times. Port Aransas is a beautiful island town, with a lot of local color. It is not nearly as big of a tourist destination as Corpus Christi, which is part of the reason we love it so much. Every time that we visit, we stay at the Aransas Princess, which is a condominium where many people live during the off season, and rent out during the summer. My family loves to stay there because the staff is wonderful, and because it is like being in an apartment rather than a hotel. My family loves to cook, and staying at the Aransas Princess gives us a kitchen and the ability to have home-cooked family meals. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, and there are so many fun things to do. Port Aransas has become even more special to my family, as m
