Week 8: Reading and Writing

 Week 8 


Looking back on all the work that I've done so far I've seen a lot of improvements. I definitely started this assignment off by reworking my blog and looking over the website going back on forth on a few things. It really helps that we have to comment on other students' work because I get to see all the possibilities of creativity. I think I kind of just used a base level of understanding when designing my website and blog, (mostly because that is the only level of understanding I had) but it was nice to see what I could do with it to turn it into work I was actually proud of. I think as of right now I'm happy with where I'm at with the project and how my blog looks! I'm actually so proud of it. 

Going into some of my reading notes and other assignments, I have also seen how much I've changed. I think that mostly is because I was doing the assignment wrong for the first two readings, but now that I'm doing it correct I've noticed when I take notes it's almost too many!! I have gotten better at really narrowing down the direction of notes I actually want to focus on and write about as well as that shining through in my own stories. I have noticed I've gravitated a lot towards stories with animals in them, I really enjoy reading and writing about them! I use a lot of dialogue in my writing which is way out of my comfort zone, but I'm actually so proud of it! I do think I need to proofread better and look out for my verbs and commas. I tend to write how I would talk which in some cases doesn't translate as well.

I actually love this image. It's one of my favorites and I actually used it in my last reading post. I know I stated earlier I love reading and writing about animals, and I really enjoy this vintage picture of a leopard. I love the colors and it reminds me of a story I didn't think I did too well on, but I ended up really liking.

Introduction to my current life

Week 1   I didn't think in college i'd have to make so many blogs for my classes but surprisingly I do, and surprisingly I always never know what i'm quite doing. I find them interesting though as I am not one to write my thoughts down and I actually hoped this year that would change; it's New Years resolution for further context. As January is coming to an end and I have yet to do that, little did I know a class would help me get started.  I've waited literal *years* to take this class and it's finally here! My name is Ashley and I am finishing up my last semester at OU as an advertising major. I know the word advertising is "annoying" but I love the strategy behind all of it and its interesting to see how the world adapts through media and even just advertising. I hope I can take my major and do something big with it someday! When I'm not working or doing school stuff I actually kind of like to golf, cook and workout. I just started golfing so ob

 Week 11  The Giving Trees (Source: Three Trees ) Have you ever wondered how "mother nature" or "mother earth" ever got it's name? Mothers cherish the life that they bring into the world. They nurture it and watch it grow just like all things on earth. Mother nature experiences all aspects of life and death in a repeated cycle. It watches all forms of life grow and flourish.To truly experience it, we must examine these cycles or life and death and how it can be a beautiful thing.  There was once was two brothers who were rather mischievous. Their mother was constantly getting onto them about how often they would play and not help around the house. She was exhausted as she was very poor and had to clean, find food, and cook, just to support her family. One day she asked her sons if they would go find food as she needed to rest from working so hard that morning sewing clothes for them. The boys were furious as all they wanted to do was play games. The mother begge
