first impressions on assignments

Firstly, this class is unlike any class I have taken before, but in the most positive way. As an education major, I really love the student-centered curriculum that is utilized. Not only that, but this is the most organized, detailed online class I have taken. As someone who learns better when detailed instructions and an outline of all due dates are given, I think this class layout is amazing.

Upon going over the assignments, I am most intrigued by what the stories we will be reading will be like. As I have not indulged myself in anything like the content of this class, I am excited to see how the readings go! Along with that, I am excited to see how I can make these traditional stories my own.

For the extra credit opportunities, I am most looking forward to micro-fictions and famous last words. As someone who likes to write but has a hard time getting motivated to do so, I think having these two options as extra credit assignments will push me to be more consistent with my writing. Aside from that, I would love to try my hand at writing short stories...(literally) and keeping a day-to-day journal for the semester.

I love that everything for this class is online. Although I have taken online classes in the past, they almost always had some sort of physical test that had to be taken. The flexibility this course offers is great for me, as I feel I do my best work and have the most agency to do work in the wee hours of the night. I am really looking forward to progressing in this class and seeing how all of the assignments come together in the end.

introduction to an aspiring teacher

Hello! I'm Katelyn Callahan, a soon-to-be 21 year-old senior at the University of Oklahoma. Originally, I'm from Tulsa, OK, and I have lived in Oklahoma for the majority of my life minus about three years when I lived in Kansas. I'm an enneagram type one, so do with that what you will. In college, I'm studying Language Arts Education in hopes of becoming a middle school English teacher. As you might be able to presume from my major, I love to write. I especially love all things technical about writing, especially grammar. Aside from my love for writing, I love cats! In fact, I love cats so much that I have a memorial tattoo for my childhood cat, Jasper. Below are some pictures of Jasper and the tattoo I got in his memory. Another fun fact: I got this tattoo in London while I was studying abroad!

week two story: family traditions

It was my first day at a new school in a new place, and I was not looking forward to it. I had never attended a public school, but my mom told me it was time. "Rish, you're seventeen now. You know you have to do this to carry on our family's traditions," my mother pressured. "Mom, I know," I say, slipping the fresh canvas backpack over my shoulders. I have never carried a schoolbag before, so this was different. My outdated textbooks weren't the only thing weighing me down, though. You see, the women in my family are all rakshasis. If you don't know what rakshasis are, we're creatures with the ability to lure people in, then eat them when we feel it's right. Naturally, we aren't the most attractive, with two huge fangs protruding from our mouths and a not-so petite figure. Luckily, we have the opportunity to shape shift into whatever we want. This makes luring even the least gullible very easy for us. In my family, w...
