Favorite Place

One of my favorite places to be is in my home town of Piedmont, Oklahoma. In Piedmont, we have an antique store called The Old Store that I have always found fascinating, mostly due to my interest in antiques.

    Hi Joe, it is always fun when people have Oklahoma places to share! With the picture there, that source will not let you remote link, so when you include pictures, make sure to use the upload option, and then the image will display properly in your post; here's how that works: Blogger Images: Always Upload! (there's actually a note about that in today's announcements because it's a common problem with blogs... if you are used to copying-and-pasting pictures, uploading is something new)

    And an antique store is a PERFECT setting to use for storytelling... some people have even done antique-store-themed Storybook projects in this class. Maybe you will want to do something like that too! Sometimes the appeal of an antique is the story that goes with it. :-)

I was a percussionist in the school band and was the drum line section leader my senior year. I played basketball all four years of high school, though I didn't play much my senior year because I broke a bone in my foot just before the season started. I am a junior chemical bio-sciences major. That major is basically what happens when you take the prerequisites for medical school and turn them into a college degree.

It was interesting to hear people talk about physician assisted suicide, head transplants, and the importance of net neutrality. I am taking the MCAT later this semester and will then apply to medical school, hoping to get into OU's. If all goes according to plan, I...

Week 6 Story : Raja Rasalu

Image
 Rasalu had been traveling the countryside for a while now, always accompanied by his trusty companion Alexa. Alexa generally just made sure they were going the right general direction, but occasionally spouted useful trivia. As he came out of the gas station, only staffed by an old man who seemed too fragile to still be able to move, Rasalu showed his car's AI his new trinket. "The old man gave me this laptop," Rasalu began. "He said that it was it could counter curses, should I ever find myself in a competitive game of pinball on someone else's cursed computer." "Wow," said Alexa, "that's an oddly specific item to be given just before meeting our mysterious contact." "Maybe," replied Rasalu, "but who am I to refuse the gift of a strange old man?" The traveling duo continued toward their destination without another distraction. As they entered the building, they saw one man, sitting in the middle of a busy roo...
