Week 13: Famous Last Words: The End (and a soon-to-be new beginning!)

This should be my final assignment in this class as the semester wraps up! That is, if I did not make any mistakes in completing my assignments.

Per my last "Famous Last Words" post, I will be taking the mythology version of this class next semester, so I am looking at this as not only an end to a semester, but also a to a new beginning!
Also mentioned previously, I really enjoy the structure of this class. I feel like I am able to incorporate writing as more of a hobby than an assignment, Of course there are grades involved, restrictions, etc, but I look at those as more of a guide than a "requirement." I also like being able to be part of a class that allows me to view other students' writing and creativity. Not only does allow me to be really engaged with my fellow students, but I am also able to learn from their writing and research techniques, which ultimately helps guide my own :-)

By getting input on my writing from both students and a professor, I feel like I am (and was able to) expand my writing a lot more than a class in which I am essentially forced to write a story every week, or every so often. I feel as though those types of class set ups and not as unique and efficient as this class is; when I do write for those classes, I feel like I am not submitting assignments for my own improvement, but submitting them just for a grade.

So, in the end, I would like to appreciate once again the methods used in setting up this class and I feel as though they were extremely effective. I am glad to be given another opportunity to explore and be a part of another version of this class with the same set-up, so that I can continue improving my writing.

Week 12: Famous Last Words: My Future

Well, since I am nearing the end of this class, I thought I would do a little note about outside of this class. I am, however, taking a the mythology version of this class next semester and I am looking forward to that!

There are about two and a half weeks left of my Spring Junior year semester, meaning I am officially (and not just by credit hours) going to be a Senior in college! It is really exciting but also scary, as I am definitely planning on doing some type of graduate school after my undergrad. I am currently studying for the MCAT, so, as of right now, I hope to do medical school after my last year at OU as an undergrad. If not, I hope to stay at OU and pursue a master's in a biomedical, or microbiology field! From that, I would either seek a career or attempt medical school again, if I really feel it being the right thing.

I am not entirely sure, which is what is so scary to me. I am constantly feeling unprepared for the MCAT (it is a tough exam, as is the material, so I tell myself it is very normal). Unfortunately, we are all currently under quarantine due to the coronavirus, so my exam might also be pushed back. I do not know what that could mean for my future application processes, but I am looking at the bright side and thinking of this opportunity (if it does get cancelled) as more studying time :-)

As this class draws near, I would like to appreciate the set-up of this class, as not being extremely demanding, but still requiring effort and participation to learn about something I never thought I would want to! With the flexibility of this course, I am able to focus on my major requirements, while still fulfilling a more relaxed, and enjoyable course in Indian epics.

Hopefully I plan on attending a medical-based graduate route!
