Famous Last Words- Halfway Done!

Me trying not to get stressed the rest of the semester.

  This week, we didn’t have readings, so I will base this off of last week. I think my reading went very well. I told myself I was going to work ahead so I wouldn’t be stressed this weekend, giving myself time to really pick my readings with a purpose, and take good notes. I did get a chance to read both sections, so I had more to write my own story off of. 

As a journalism major, I feel like all I do is write! A lot of it jumbles in my head, but this week I know I wrote a story about a gorilla with powers, and I was also working on my capstone project outside of this class. I read two stories on the gorilla, and his adventures. I based my story mostly off of the second one, where God wanted to punish him because of his behavior, but God ended up realizing he really needed him there after all. My capstone project is on gender bias in the media. Obviously journalism and the media is something that I will end up in after school, so this was something that really sparked my interest and has been interesting to research and write about. 

This semester has absolutely been my most busy semester yet. Although I am only in 12 hours of class, I am also doing about 12 hours of OU nightly, working in Ada one day, doing 9 hours of pom practice a week, and then games on top of that, and I also do private dance lessons. I have been trying to work ahead, and stay organized, but sometimes it has been piling up more than I am used to this semester. My classes are going really well, and I am enjoying them, I am just trying not to get too stressed about them!

Next week, I really hope to continue to stay on top of things. I have a busy week with classes and projects, but I am hoping I can work ahead in this class so I am not stressed.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 3 Story: The Creation of Fluffy and Roxy

When God created the heavens and the earth, he realized there was something important missing- inhabitants.  When God thought of all of the different creatures he could create to inhabit his beautiful creation, he decided he needed something lovable, that would appreciate all that he had done. What did he decide on you may ask? First- a fluffy puppy. God created this lovable, cheerful creature from the dirt, and he was very happy with his decision. God named this fluffy puppy what you can imagine: Fluffy. Soon enough, Fluffy became lonely, and bored with no other creatures to play with. God decided to create another being, this time from Fluffy himself. By taking one of sweet Fluffy's ribs, God created Roxy: a loving companion for Fluffy. God decided on the rib, after thoughts of many different options during creation. Why not the mouth? Some might ask. Because if created from the mouth, Roxy would spend her life barking at everything. Why not the paw? Because Roxy would spend her ...
