Week 8 Progress

 I feel great about my progress so far this semester. When I took Mythology and Folklore, I did not take advantage of beginning the class before the semester, so I really wanted to make sure that I do so with Indian Epics. Having the free time before school gave me the freedom to complete as much as possible, but with school starting now, I have to limit myself and find a more weekly routine. So far my favorite assignments have been the Microfiction. It is such a creative assignment and really challenges me to carefully select words to fit the 100 word requirement. I really wished I had it for Mythology and Folklore! Overall, I am happy with what I have done, especially with my blog and website,, and I look forward to finishing off strongly this semester. My goals are to make sure I do not slack off even with my progress and to maintain a weekly routine.

Kobe Bryant has always been one of my favorite athletes and his Mamba Mentality would want me to finish the class strong!

Nice to meet you, my name is Neal

 Wow. It is crazy to think that I am already back in Norman for my senior year. While my first threes years were full of unique experiences, I never would have imagined all of these recent events occurring. Although it has been a struggle to get through the pandemic, as I am sure everyone can agree with, I am looking forward to completing my senior year and pursuing my future. To start off, I am psychology major on the pre medicine track. Ever since I took psychology in high school I found studying the mind and the way people act so interesting. However, I always had the goal of becoming a physician which explains the pre-med track.  Although I am an OU student, I still consider myself a proud Texan. I come from a relatively small town in East Texas where high school football is king and perhaps the most famous thing is that Matthew Mccounaughey graduated from my high school (he even came to our high school graduation this year to give a speech!).

Week 9 Story: Bhima and the Nagas

Duryodhana was a jealous warrior. He could not stand if anybody was better him, no matter the competition. From archery to running to strength training, he saw how his Pandavas cousins performed at the highest marks. However, no made Duryodhana more angry than Bhima. Now Bhima was the best of the spot. He could bench over 300 pounds, squat 450 pounds, and run a mile in less than 6 minutes. No one could match him physically and for this Duryodhana plotted to get rid of Bhima. He knew he could not do it face to face combat, so he decided to poison his food during dinner. He extracted poison from the venomous King Cobra and sprinkled onto Bhima's dinner for the night. As Bhima took his first bites, he passed out and laid asleep on the ground. Duryodhana seizing his opportunity, gagged Bhima and threw into the holy Ganges for him to forever lie. Yet, as Bhima fell into the river it was fated by the gods that he was not to die. His destiny lied far ahead in the future. Thus when Bhima...
