Interests

Looking through all the options, I was overwhelmed with the variety and amount of interesting stories available. I am definitely very excited to read these stories. The stories that caught my eye the most were about animals. I am a big animal lover and really enjoy reading about them. Other stories I picked like, Tejas, relate to me because I am from Texas and would like to learn about the folklore of the area. In conclusion, any stories that include animals are lots of plot-twists will always be a favorite for me.

The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts by Abbie Farwell Brown (1900).

I chose this image, because it was the attached image to the 'Saints and Animals' story book that I will be reading in week 4. I am especially excited for this reading because it has a large emphasis on the roles that animals play. I can't wait to read and learn more about it!

My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to ...

Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential

Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential Elephant - Link I spent a lot of time in this class researching elephants and creating stories about them. So, it seemed only fitting to start my wikipedia trail with elephants as well. Elephant Cognition - Link In addition to just writing stories about elephants, I also touched on their social bonds and how intelligent the species is. From this article I learned that elephants are among the most altruistic animals on earth! Neuron - Link I am currently in a physiological psychology class, and have taken several other classes that involve the anatomy of the brain. So, when I saw neuron I had to click it because it goes along too well with topics I have been learning in my other classes this semester. Action Potential - Link Finally, I arrived at action potentials. Although small, action potentials are responsible for so much- including how I form thoughts and how I am able to type on my computer right now. This class has definitel...
