Reading Options

For the weeks 3 and 4 readings, I'll likely choose the PDE Ramayana. This is mostly because the reading is available online for free. In Myth and Folklore, there were so many reading options. I enjoyed having lots of choices, but it was also a little overwhelming at times, so it's refreshing to have limited options in this section.

The Ramayana comic books really interested me for week 5. I've never been much of a comic book person, but I think the images will be really interesting and helpful since I'm unfamiliar with the culture and writing of India. Specifically, Vali: The Downfall of an Arrogant King caught my attention. I enjoy a good story of family drama. The description also made me think of Cain and Abel for some reason.


I think, in week 9, I might try watching the Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution. The video from another week looked interesting but it was very long. The playlists for this one seemed shorter and more manageable.

Introduction to a World Traveling Dog Loving Foodie

Hey everyone, my name's Casey. My major is Biology-Pre PA(Physician Assistant) and this is my second year at OU. I've considered changing my major and career path multiple times, but I keep circling back to this. Lately, I've been thinking more about applying to PA school and how in the world I'm going to get in. I'm really nervous about starting to get the required hands-on experience so if there are any other Pre-PA kiddos out there I could definitely use your advice! Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time with my boyfriend Carlos. He's the one who has pushed me to start traveling. He is the reason I went to Naples, Florida last spring break (this was the trip from my  favorite place post ). Here are a couple more pictures from Florida because it was so beautiful and I'm kind of proud of my impromptu iPhone photography skills.

Week 11 Story: The King and the Deer

Image
Edit: This story has been transferred to my  Portfolio . Click  here  to view the most up to date version.         There was once a king who very much enjoyed hunting. He spent many days in the forests and wilderness of his kingdom. On one occasion, he spotted a particularly large and beautiful deer. His heart was dead set on conquering the creature. The king urged his horse faster and faster, racing after the deer beyond his companions. At the very last moment, the king saw a chasm ahead and yanked the reins. He and his horse skidded to a halt just before falling over the cliff. The deer had not been so lucky and laid at the bottom, still alive but gravely injured.         The king looked down at the creature he had been determined to kill, and his heart broke. He could not kill the animal now that it had been wounded. It wouldn’t be proper sport since he had an unfair advantage. But he also couldn’t leave the animal to die there. So, he called for his men who had lagged behind. T
