Week 8 Progress

Looking back at my blog I definitely feel it’s coming along great. I will say it feels empty in some aspects as I have been skipping on doing some reading notes. I often do my post very last minute, but this is a commonality between all my classes. I feel the “grace period” as just an extended deadline so I often just wait to complete the posts in the morning. That’s not to say I’m not busy because I am as this is my final semester at OU and I am taking a lot of film production classes.

I want to try to change up my blog post schedules to help with the last minute timing..may be difficult at first but I think it’s doable. I’d also love to write more descriptively, put more details into the characters and their environments. I still don’t think I need to change the appearances of my blogs, I like their simple looks.

I know this photo doesn’t exactly seem “motivating”, but it makes me  happy which in turn lightens my mood and encourages me to be productive! :)

  1. Callie,
    I really liked this post. It really helps me as a student to see other students struggling. It reminds me I am not alone in my doubts about college and not being a perfect student. I get the time management issue, and I also mentioned changing my schedule in order to produce more quality posts. So far I think I’ve done a pretty good job staying on top of assignments. Hope you’re doing well also!

Introduction to a Horror Movie Lover

Hello everyone, my name is Callie Simonton. I'm a Film and Media studies major currently in my final semester at the University of Oklahoma. I love movies, specifically horror movies. That's a strange niche I know, who in their right mind would choose that genre over the rest? Maybe it's due to the fact that I grew up with them and find even the low budget and cult movies to be an enjoyable experience. Something about the idea of the extensive makeup effects and the creation of paranormal and otherworldly monsters make my interests in horror films even worse. Favorites? The Saw series, those films are just so mind bending and fun to watch. I took a few Horror classes over the last few semesters and I enjoyed every single bit of them. With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Week 4 Story: An Infidelidous Sita

Newest version here on my portfolio! https://sites.google.com/view/portfolio-indian-epics/an-infidelidous-sita Rama and Sita had returned to the throne. Sita had spent so much time with Ravana that he was skeptical that she remained virtuous and had not consummated in the time she was away from Rama. The people of Ayo were rampaged and assumed that Rama was allowing Sita to stay his wife after so much time with another man, they were foaming at the mouth to see Sita punished for being an infidelidous wife. Rama sat back and let the people convince Sita she was unpure and unfit to be his wife. In mourning she built a fire as a means to commit suicide, but the gods were watching over them both that day. “Oh Rama, who is a god, why doth though allow thee wife to burn? “She was unfaithful to me and my name, she has volunteered her execution.” He said unremorsefully. “Oh Rama, you don’t understand, thee wife is innocent, her only love has been you, and only you.” Staring int...
