Week 8 Reading and Writing

 I enjoy reading new stories every week and practice my writing. I don't write creatively that often so this is a great way to practice that! Right now, I need to focus mostly on dialogue. 

So far I am happy with my website but not so much with my blog. I would like to make it look nicer (especially the image layout) but I am not sure how much creative freedom I have with that on this website. 

So far I am very satisfied with how my project is going! I am excited to add more stories to it in the future!

I would say my biggest accomplishments in this class is just writing more. Being in STEM, the only writings I have are either lab reports or research notes. Those aren't any fun and I cannot just write whatever I want. In this class I can write about whatever I want and that creative freedom is great!

So far I think my favorite story I've read was "Man in the Moon", specifically when I re-wrote the story in my own way.

A photo of me! Taken by me   Hello! My name is Christian Hansen, and I am a senior biology student here at OU. After I graduate this spring, I plan on studying for my master’s degree in mammalogy and hopefully pursuing a doctorate degree after that! For a career I would love to be a field mammalogist and help conserve and fight for the many species of animals that are in danger due to our actions. I have always loved animals ever since I was a kid. I have a hamster named Pepper and she is the cutest little thing you will ever see!  My hamster, Pepper.

I was born in   Pskov, Russia, and given to an orphanage with my twin sister. I currently have no idea who my birth parents are and why I was placed for adoption right after birth. I stayed in the orphanage for about a year or so until my sister and I were adopted into our current family. I am so grateful for the oppo

Week 6 Story - Man in the Moon Revisited

Image
 I’ve been the Moon longer than I can remember. I can’t speak, I can’t blink. All I can do is orbit the Earth and stare. I wish I could talk to that wise old man one more time. At this point I wouldn’t even wish to turn back; I would just curse him out and punch him in his old, wrinkled face. But he’s been dead for so long. I saw it. When the time came, I was so happy, but I realized I’d be stuck like this for eternity. The Sun used to be so bright, and so very hot. But I’m used to it now. The constant glare no longer impairs my vision, and the scorching heat is something I have grown used to. Watching life go on without being apart of it is a strange sensation, but it has kept me preoccupied for the time being.  But after awhile even watching humanity gets boring. Nothing ever changes. They develop a new technology and then go to war over it. Every. Single. Time. I see the people suffer, but I do not feel any empathy for them anymore. They always fix themselves eventually and the cycl
