Week 3 Review: TARDIS

I know that TARDIS is representative of an acronym; however, I feel that my work this week has been "tardy." I tried to use a sense of humor just then; however, I'm not a very comical person. Most of  my jokes and entertainment come from really dry humor. This past week was very busy for me i other courses. I'm trying to finish a degree this spring at another college; therefore, that course work and curriculum has been taking precedence over certain assignments. In addition to my course, I have I'm having to attend my extracurricular activities. One of the larger projects that I missed for this past week was the Storybook. I'm needing to finalize my topics. Furthermore, I was reading a post in professor Gibbs' blog, Learning by HEART that talked about every book being a TARDIS. After using this acronym for the second time, I have to explain it.

I agree that books take you into an alternate dimension, either the future or the past. My novels of choice usually consist of sci-fi, romantic fantasy, or any type of young adult fiction. It is within those dramas and genres that depict the state of humanity, its technological advancements, or downfalls. I find myself so intrigued by the plots and characters that my reality almost seems to bend, putting me into a different dimension. Sometimes I'm so interlocked and absorbed by the unfolding stories before my hands, that I cannot hear when others are speaking to me. ( So, no professor Gibbs. You're not the only bookworm.)
I get lost in time. Several hours of the day can pass by when you're entranced by a great novel.

    I really enjoyed this post, and also am running on a bit of a tardy timeline as well. I seem to switch my priorities around quite often, and I find myself completing tasks that are urgent but not important rather than prioritizing things that are important but not urgent (i.e. reading often). I feel that I read so much for class, I hardly have time to read for pleasure. But that isn't true, I just need to get better at prioritizing and moving it up on my list!

    I really like your outlook and perspective on this concept! I also constantly find myself in this situation in regard to running on a tardy timeline. There is always so much I want to do and get done, but there is only limited time in a day. I have recently gotten a planner to efficiently plan out my days. I want to start getting up even earlier than I do now, because it is such a great feeling when you get so much accomplish in the morning, but this takes great self control. Thank you for sharing your perspective, as I know there are many of us also trying to survive in this boat!

Introduction from a Coffee Connoisseur

Image
  Image information: Personal photo at Coffee Shop and Pizzeria in Italy May 2015          Coffee is available in all types of flavors and states; you have hot coffee, frozen coffee, coffee beans, chocolate covered coffee beans, frappes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. Beyond the different consistencies of coffee there are thousands of flavors. Life is a lot like a cup of coffee. At first, coffee can be bitter, but you learn to love it or find another blend that best suits you. I've always loved coffee, but there are definitely a few flavors that prefer over the rest. Everyone has different aspects of their lives that they enjoy and choose highlight. Now, you will learn about the favorite aspects of my life, (outside of the coffee). {A hot caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso is my go-to beverage all year round.} My full name is Hannah Elisabeth Pope and I’m a full-time junior here at the OU.

Storytelling: MyLife's a Charm

Image
On the hard,cold wooden desk I sat just waiting until the day we would chat. I was yours since the day you were born, but not for long I shall warn.  I watch you both day and night, but never on your mind, always out of sight. I was there to see you walk and cry,  but I hope that when it's time to meet you're not shy.  You toss and turn all night long , trying to fight this pull that's so strong. You wake up with sweats and eyes full of terror,  but then you turn over to see me on you dresser.  You pick me up and twirl me around, knowing that I'm your comfort when comfort can't be found.  Your attachment to me weakens as you mature through the years,  but there's a calling on your life so it appears.  A whole new world and kingdom awaits for you and me, just step into the world of the rakshashi. Beep! Beep! Beep! After five minutes of hearing the annoying alarm clock, Shala finally reaches out from underneath her five down pillows and

Week 4 Storytelling: My Savior In Ashoka Grove

Image
Ashoka Grove was a beautiful resting ground in the middle of a dark, evil-ridden forest. The flowers ranged from pink, puffy ashoka blossoms, orange lotuses, to beautiful Malobar daffodils, orchids, and magnolias. The aroma was overwhelming and enchanting. It was a scene so serene. The crisp, warm spring breeze would blow and pick up the swirling pool of petals collecting on the ground  in a whirlpool and sweep them up into the air. The whistle of the wind was a harmonious sound to the ears of the grove's visitors; it is a sound so hypnotizing and enticing that the visitors go numb to the razor-sharp teeth of the rakshasas that are sinking into the veins of their warm, fleshy necks and limbs. For years, Ashoka Grove was a hot attraction. Thousands of visitors would venture across the world to experience such a magnificent wonder of Mother Nature. People from all walks of life could be seen lying down in the mounds of petals on the ground trying to make a "flower angel."
