Famous Last Words: Finding a Balance

For my famous last words, I kinda felt confused about this week's agenda but I ended up getting back on track. Balancing a crazy schedule within school, I find myself trying to keep up with the material along with preparing for post undergrad. For the reading this week, Although I ended up reading the wrong material, I had went back and re-read the right material and found it interesting how the topic of The Life of Buddha was almost movie-like and how he was going through a enlightening journey to become the person that certain individuals would end up looking up too. Mara's Defeat in particular was my favorite story because it highlighted just how powerful Buddha is compared to Mara. Because of this story, I feel like I did my best writing this week with Class President because I love a good story that has a protagonists that is strong but also an antagonist that is clever, charismatic, and opportunistic. Writing that story, i tried to live up to my demands and create the best story possible and although the finish product might need some tweaking, I think I am happy with the decisions that i made and stoked about how the ending turned out. To get into a groove of writing things, I find myself looking at other people's blogs and comparing them to a story I have envisioned myself writing about or I look at a story I found to be amusing and try to emulate their writing technique along with my ideas.My plans for next week are to hopefully write an even better story and to have enough time to completely get my juices flowing to do so because with my current schedule now I am going to have to find more time to do assignments for the class and also stay on top of other classes.

Introduction to a Social Introvert

Hi, My name is Charlton Nwaefulu and I am a senior here at the University of Oklahoma and will be graduating in December. I am from Mansfield, TX and i transferred to this school in the Fall of 2015. I am an Economics major/MIS minor and a cool thing about my major is that it is versatile so i could literally work in a lot of fields without having to attain a specific degree. I didn't really have a favorite class from last semester due to the workload/scheduling but if i had to choose then i would say that a class that i liked the most then it would have to be Economics of Discrimination because it broke down the economics of topics such as marriage and earnings and the costs of getting married and divorce. We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
