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 7 Story: Adventure Amongst the Clouds

Ari desired more than what his life currently entailed. He wanted to live it to it’s fullest. Ari was a simple man, but being simple wasn’t enough. One day, he saught his fortune from a local psychic, who in turned told him to travel to the mountains and honor the gods to find his destiny. Ari prepared a large backpack and some humble meals for the long travel. He already was a religious man, so he had easily packed all his praying equipment. So began Ari’s long journey up the mountainside. Every morning he would pray and meditate for 3 hours, he’d brought offerings, enough for every day he woke up in the mountains. It was one morning when Ari was meditating when he heard an animal approaching. It was a boar, with anger in it’s eyes and an intent to kill. Ari looking longingly at the boar, it had been a while since he’d had a decent meal, and his offerings to the god during his morning rituals were diminishing. A boar would be a feed him and his praying for the days to come. S...
