Famous Last Words: Last Weeks of School

I really enjoyed my reading for week 13.  Nursery Rhymes are my favorite, and being able to write a story that included them was a lot of fun.  Being able to incorporate Alice Through the Looking Glass was a thrill as well; it was one of my favorite stories when I was little.   My other classes are going decently well.  I am in mainly engineering classes, so I have not been able to connect what I learn in this class to other classes, but I do enjoy discussing things that I learn in this class with my friends and family. 
I read some really great stories this week.  One was really creative, in a sense that it portrayed Greek mythology in a college campus setting.  The names were super creative, and I want to come up with a story like that.  I also am thinking about a story that I read a few weeks ago that was written like a play.  That was super interesting to read.  One is able to communicate with an audience in stead of a reader.
 
Next week I would like to get everything done pretty early.  Unfortunately, I did not take advantage of the extra credit earlier in the semester, and am doing everything I can to catch up to make an A in the class.  I wish I had been doing the extra credit all along, because these reflection posts are pretty fun and have been beneficial.  I have two tests coming up this week, as well as filling out a lot of paperwork for my job, so I need to practice concentration to be able to get through this week.  I hope that I do well in everything; the mail goal is to not get stressed out.  Everything is possible if I don’t avoid it.  

I picked this picture because I need the reminder that I can do it.

    Hi Kathleen! I too read nursery rhymes last week and found them to be very interesting! It brought back many memories from my childhood. I really enjoyed reading through Alice and Wonderland, for I had not read that book in many years! I like the picture you shared, because it is a woman empowering us to let us know that we can make it through the end of the semester! Only 3 more weeks, we can do it!

Introduction to a Queen

Hello!  My name is Kathleen Taylor.  Just for clarification, my title says "Introduction to a Queen" because queen rhymes with Kathleen, so I tend to pair the two together. I am personally not an actual queen, and it doesn't really have anything to do with my life,  I just think that it sounds nice: "Queen Kathleen" My major is Industrial and Systems Engineering.  Despite it sounding semi long and confusing, my major is simply training me to find the safest, fastest, most cost effective way for going from point A to point B.  This can range from manufacturing car parts to organizing the lines at Disneyland.  The best class that I took last semester was Ergonomics, which is basically the study of improving human machine interface, while also including designing things to cause less wear and tear on the human body.  I would love to have a career that focuses around that; making things and systems better and easier for everyone.  Some r...

Story Week 9

Image
There was once a college student named Laurel.  Laurel had spent weeks looking for a roommate.  She noticed a that someone else had put a post on the school’s Facebook page, saying that they also needed a roommate.  Laurel messaged this person, Olivia, and set up a time for them to meet. Laurel asked Olivia some things about herself, and came to find that they had the same major, enjoyed the same TV shows, and liked similar food.  ‘This is perfect!’ thought Laurel, ‘We are equals, this will work.’ Laurel asked Olivia if she would like to move in to the same apartment together, and Olivia accepted.  Laurel and Olivia lived together for a while.  Soon they fell into a routine.  Olivia would give Laurel a ride to school, and would pick up Laurel from her job in the evening.  They would both make dinner, but Olivia would pay for the basic groceries, like butter and milk.    One day, Laurel was talking to her friends abou...
