Week 8 Reading and Writing

Week 8 Reading and Writing

I have enjoyed the reading assignments very much overall. I have not kept up as well with the writing assignments, though when I have done them, I have surprised myself with how much I am able to write. I am happy with both my blog and project websites. I think my project has gone well overall since I have been able to choose appropriate stories to add to it even though I only have a few to choose from. I think my biggest accomplishments are that I have written my own stories and I actually like what I have written. I am much more used to writing research papers or essays instead of things like the stories for this class, so I was unsure of if I would be able to do okay at writing these kinds of things. Though, I feel good about the stories I have written and have been surprised by how easy it was to write them once I got started.

This is my favorite image from my stories/reading notes because of how well done it is. I feel that the lion here matches the lion in the story that I used this image for, and that happens to be my favorite story as well. 

As I look forward for this class, I would like to be more on top of the story assignments. I feel I have not kept up with them enough, which has left me with only a few stories written at this point. I think that is the most important thing for me to improve on as of now.

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!...
