Week 8 Progress

I am very happy with my progress so far. I have completed all weekly tasks as well as a few extra credit assignments, so I am ahead overall. I generally stick to a weekly routine, but sometimes my lab work changes my schedule. However, this has not really brought any stress to me, as I do not mind working on this class! So far, my favorite part of the class has been the Storybook project. I really enjoy the topic I have chosen and love writing the stories for it.

As of now, there is not really anything major I want to change. I would love to improve my story writing, such as adding in more dialogue and imagery. I might play around with my Website to make it "prettier" at some point, but I still think it looks nice.

I chose this image of Madison, WI as my motivation to push for the end of the semester. I did this because I am moving there in May! My husband and I love the area and cannot wait for the beginning of our lives there. We have actually recently bought a new construction home there that we love. These things make it much easier for me to look forward for the end of the semester!

During my time in college, I have - and still currently - shadow a cardiologist, which is why becoming a cardiologist has become my dream job. I also volunteer at OU Children's, which is a very heartening experience that has taught me multiple things about the importance of healthcare as well as the persona one should have with a patient. This semester I am also conducting research in the biology department. I am currently trying to determine the function of a gene in the female brains of Drosophila , which are a species of small fruit flies. This requires m...

Week 7 Story: The Game of Dice

Image
  Dice: Quantamagazine I was strolling down the streets of Las Vegas, passing by all of the bright lights and the sounds of coin machines when I saw a casino that loomed over all of the others: The Crystal Palace. Now, me being a newbie in the area, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I walked in between those doors. At the time, all I could focus on was the sparkle of the casino, which definitely fit its name perfectly. There were huge crystalline chandeliers hanging from the ceiling that were almost blinding to look at as well as a center bar that was encased with mirrors. Everything in casino seemed breakable to touch or too nice for me to feel comfortable to place my hand upon it. As I gazed around in wonder, I had not noticed two men coming down the stairs until the entire casino was in silence. Standing before me on the grand staircase were the two biggest casino leaders in Las Vegas: Mr. Pandava and Mr. D. No one knows what the mysterious Mr. D's real name is; ...
