Time Strategies



While looking over the schedule that you had sent me earlier in the week, I think that while it would work best to do everything in the first three days, I will most likely do it when I have time throughout the week instead of during a fixed time. As I plan to work ahead in this class, I think that I will just have to find time throughout each day to work on that weeks specific assignments. I will be traveling with my team most Fridays throughout the course of the semester so I will need to complete that weeks assignments before leaving so that I can not worry about it, and be more focussed for competitions. For the articles, I read the article titled "The important habit of just starting," by Jory Mackay, along with "How to beat procrastination," by Caroline Webb. My biggest takeaways from both is that procrastination only causes more stress and anxiety, and can even cause a disconnect from ones sense of future. I feel like in this class, it will be necessary for me to complete all the assignments in a timely manor and not put off assignments when I have time to do them. Overall, I am excited to see what this class has in store and can't wait to get started on week 2!

    Like you, I'm also planning to work ahead in this class and finish the semester early! I mean, I'm doing some extra commenting as of the time of this writing, but I've actually enjoyed learning about other peoples' perspectives too! I'm definitely keen on finishing this class early since I have my senior design Capstone project to worry about too! It's the first week of classes, and I'm already cramming! I hope you're able to get ahead in the class and be successful in both your academic studies and competitions!

Introduction to a Student Athlete

Hi everyone, my name is Randy Scharnhorst and I am currently a senior here at the University of Oklahoma and am in my last semester for finishing my degree in Health and Exercise Science. I am originally from Overland Park, Kansas, and have been attending the University of Oklahoma for the last three and a half years. The reason I chose to come to Oklahoma is because of a few important things. First of all, my girlfriend (current fiancée) was attending school at Oklahoma Baptist so this was a great option for me to be close to her. The second reason is that when first touring the campus, I felt like this was home. source :  Block O U. credit Wikimedia BOOMER SOONER! I had been on many college visits and this campus really felt comfortable and perfect for me. The third reason, and maybe the most important reason is that I wanted to continue my athletic career throughout college, and as a gymnast, there is no better place in the country than the University of Oklahoma.

Week 5 Story: The Burger, The Fry, and the Milkshake

The great King McDonald ruled over all of the western hemisphere of the area of land named the Chain. In this great kingdom, there were other three other kings, King Freddy, who ruled the northern hemisphere, King Wendy, who ruled the eastern hemisphere, and finally King Whatta, who ruled the southern hemisphere. Once a year, all the kings would get together and talk about economics, war, and politics. One day, King McDonald told the other kings that his three most valuable possessions had disappeared, his Burger Sapphire, his Fry Ruby, and his beloved Milkshake Gauntlet. These were three of the most valuable items in all of the Chain. The other kings were not surprised that they had gone missing, as King McDonald was known for being out late partying and drinking with the clowns of his kingdom. Each of the kings offered their condolences and went back to their homelands.  When King McDonald returned home, a local hobbit came forward and told the king that he had
