Week 8 Comments and Feedback

So far the comments and feedback from other students has been great! I was a little worried going in that people wouldn't enjoy the things I write, but seeing people's reactions has been very fulfilling. The comments that help me the most are the ones that tell me favorite parts from my stories, but also challenge them a little. Seeing what people like helps me decide how my next story will go.

As for feedback out, I've been trying to find at least one thing to question about other people's posts. I'm hoping this helps them go back and think about why they made a decision in their post, or it could even solidify their decision.

I do feel like I've gotten to know some people, especially with their introductions being paired to the posts we comment on. I like that if I'm interested in someone's post, I can quickly get around their blogs!

To make my feedback more useful, I think I need to do more than just ask questions of the writers, but also go a bit more into why I'm asking those questions. I think so far what I've got for my intro and comment wall is good!

We all will make mistakes throughout the semester, like me missing a few assignments already, but we have to remember that we aren't failures. Even with mistakes, we can always go back and change things, and that's what's awesome about these blogs.

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. I'm majoring in MIS and will be moving to an IT consulting job after graduation. I'll be staying local while working out of OKC. Easily the biggest thing to know about me is my love for cars. 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 13 Story: The Vampire's Invitation

Once upon a time, a man and his son were travelling across the United States. Stopping when needed at hotels, they slowly made their way stat by state. When they reached Oklahoma, they hadn't taken into account graduation season! All the hotels were booked and they were beginning to lose hope. One of the hotel managers mentioned that he knew where they could stay, but that there are rumors that it's haunted. Having no fear of ghosts, the two decide it would be fine to spend the night there. Shortly after settling in, they here a knock on the door. A strange man in a long, black cape stood outside. He said he too was a weary traveler and this is the only place he could find to stay. This man and his son did not want visitors, so they told him to go away. The man, starting to look desperate said if he could just step in for a minute he would be alright. The man at the door asks why he's so persistent to get an invitation into the house, and that's when he remembered tho
