My Thoughts on Assignments

Writing excites me the most
Coming into this class, I had no idea what to expect. I had only heard that there was lots of writing and lots of reading, but that you could be as creative as you want. After seeing how this class is structured, I'm very excited about the storytelling aspect of class. Having read some previous storybooks, I can see that there really is no limit on our creativity as long as we are able to tie it back to the stories we read. I love writing, and reading other people's stories, so being able to comment on what other people put together will be a great experience. For extra credit, I'm looking forward the most to learning how to make a better looking blog along with the biographical writing. This class is nothing like any other classes I've taken in terms of structure, and that excites me.

Introduction to Me

Myself and Callie hiking in Arkansas Hey everyone! It's the final stretch (for me at least). This is my last semester before graduating here at OU, and I think it's awesome we get to write and read these blogs to get to know each other.

Ever since I was a kid collecting Hot Wheels, I've never stopped being a car guy. Now that I'm getting the opportunities to do so, I've graduated from Hot Wheels to real cars! I've currently got two: my 2015 Mustang is my daily driver, and I'm working on restoring a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo (both pictured below). The Porsche is a huge undertaking for me as it's my learning platform for mechanical skills. While I've done work on cars here and there, I've never taken on a full project like this. My 2015 Mustang

Week 6 Story: The Kid and the Frozen Pool

Image
Many years ago, a little boy named Timmy's family got a big, new house, and with it came a big, new pool! Timmy was of the age of peak curiosity, just old enough to know how things work, but not quite old enough to think into his decisions. Moving into their new home in mid November left Timmy sad that he wouldn't be able to use the pool because his parents said it was far too cold. Timmy had other plans, one winter night, he stealthily made his way outside and began to run the hose to the fountain. Unbeknownst to him, pools can and will overflow without the right controls in place, so in leaving the water running overnight, it spilled out everywhere near the pool and forming an icy sheet by morning. Excited to show his parents that it's never too cold to swim, he quickly ran outside and tried to make it to the pool. In his speed, he didn't see that the water was in fact frozen! Slipping onto his butt, his parents looked on in horror at first, but quickly saw he hadn
