I am very excited to read more of the content from the Japanese Fairy Tales (Lang), Japanese Fairy Tales (Ozaki), and Japanese Mythology units. I found these to be the most interesting because I have actually read a few of the stories in these units before, but I wish to read more of them since I enjoyed what I have read previously. I have taken many Japanese classes in the past which include literature, language, and history. I have had a general interest in Japan's culture for a very long time, and am excited to learn more about their stories and mythology.

I am also interested in the Alice in Wonderland unit. I have never actually read much of the full novel, but have found the parts of it that I do know to be very interesting. I am also a fan of all the different movies associated with the novel, so I think it would be a cool experience to compare what I have seen to parts from the novel.

    Hey Caitlyn! These seem like interesting reads! I too love fairy tales, I'll have to check out the Japanese Fairy Tales! That's so cool that you have taken some Japanese classes before, I bet it was super interesting to learn about different cultures and how things differ from American culture. I love Alice in Wonderland and will watch it any chance I get.

Introduction to a Nerdy Psych Major

Introduction to a Nerdy Psych Major Hello! My name is Caitlyn Carr. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in MIS and plan to graduate this Fall! The coolest thing about my major is that it is very helpful in improving my understanding of other people and myself. With the knowledge it provides me, I can interact with people better and also be more helpful to them when they are feeling stressed or having other issues, since I have learned in-depth about the proper ways to cope with those things. This is all very helpful to me, since I am an introvert with a high amount of anxiety in most cases, especially in social situations. Hobbies As for hobbies, I spend most of my free time playing video games. I have played video games since I was old enough to properly hold a controller and have not stopped since then. It was actually my hobby of gaming that allowed me to make the online friends that I went to RTX with this year. If I was not into games to the degree that I am, I would

Week 4 Story: The Boys Who Befriended Frogs NOTE: This story has been added to my portfolio! Please click here for the current version of the story. (Frog: image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images ) This story is a continuation of  The Boys and the Frogs There were frogs who lived in a pond. They had just been scared for their lives due to some boys who had skipped rocks across the pond for fun. The boys finished having their fun skipping stones in the pond. At some point, the boys noticed a few frogs also occupied the same pond where they skipped the stones. They did not think much of it. Surely the frogs would be fine. The boys did not even spare enough attention to the frogs to notice when one of them tried speaking up before the boys. As the boys departed from the pond, the frogs collected themselves from their earlier panic. The oldest frog spoke in a frustrated tone, “If only those boys were more considerate of others around them! We could have died from that!”
