The Final Rose that Never Came

Image
The Final Rose that Never Came Once upon a time there was an unlucky lady looking for love named Hannah G. Her whole life she was looking for the right prince charming but just couldn't catch a break. She tried and tried and tried to find love but unfortunately every prince she kissed turned out to just be a frog in disguise. She was just starting to think she would spend the rest of her days eating low-fat ice cream and watching tv with her cats, when suddenly she saw a commercial advertisement promoting The Bachelor. She was a little wary at first and so was everyone else she talked to but she thought, "Well what more could I possibly lose?" She decided to risk it all to go on the world renowned competition dating show. She spent thousands and thousands of dollars on dresses, personal trainers, and makeup. Finally, the very first night of her journey to happily ever after had come. Hannah G. was a nervous as could be. As soon as she stepped out of the limo and o...

Famous Last Words: Learning

Other people's writing I am doing this extra credit assignment on a Monday so I will be looking back at last week not this week. I read a few stories that grabbed my attention this week; however, a fellow student of mine wrote an excellent story that was based off the popular TV series Bo Jack Horseman. I have read a few of this student's stories before and keep coming back for more. I think his ability to adapt his theme to retell a completely different story every week is really something. That kind of writing takes some real creativity. I've been trying to get more and more creative with my stories every week and I think reading stories like Bo Jack Horseman has helped inspire me to keep pushing. Outside of school I am a student in Advertising and am a director of a student run advertising agency. Something we always say is, Advertising is just good storytelling. This is one of the reasons I decided to take this class. I haven't had to really push myself as a...

Learning Challenge: Happiness Jar (Part 1)

I was really excited when I read about this challenge! This week I am going to write down something that made me happy each day. I am curious to see how this effects me by the end of the week. Will I reflect more on my week? Will I be more appreciative of my days? I am excited to find out and write about it after. This photo reminds me that even on my worst of days there is always one thing to be happy about from that day.  Web Source.

I chose this cat photo because the word curiosity has been at the forefront of my mind. For the past few weeks I have been striving to be a "Curious Collaborator". When I saw this photo I thought it was just puurfect.  Blog Link When I was little, my brother used to call me a scaredy cat because I would always have to hype myself up to go into the garage. My dad used to say to me this exact quote it always helped me feel better.  Blog Link

Tech Tips: Canvas Gradebook

I honestly didn't even realize the Canvas updated its gradebook. I like how you can rearrange how the grades are shown by category. This trick could be extremely helpful in a class with a lot of grades just like this one.
