Week 8 Reading and Writing

As far as reading and writing goes for this course, I am struggling with the reading part. I am a slow reader in general and feel like taking the time to read a whole story takes an entire night. I know it would never actually do that but that is what it feels like. As far as the writing goes, I do not have any problems because I love writing. I also have plenty of things to say so that should not be a problem for the rest of the semester. I need to get caught up on my reading because I am quite a few points behind as far as the reading goes.

My favorite writings were my first two stories. The Jataka sequel and the diary. Something about getting to make a sequel to a story allows me to continue the story how I want. Rewriting a story is boring and does not provide the newness that something different provides. For my storybook I am picking stories most people have not read so it will be new for them and also I am not retelling, but telling it from the point of view of the main character.

I was not happy with my original blog, but I fixed it and am much happier with it. There could be a few tweaks to it, but I am not too worried about it now.

Introduction to Ya Boi Jacob Heath

Hey all, My name is Jacob, but I go by many nicknames: Jake, Heath (my last name), DJ (it is a long story). You can also just call me Jacob, which is what most people do. My major is microbiology/pre-med. Microbiology is an odd major because the first microbiology course I took was not until second semester junior year, so I am glad I enjoyed it or else I would have wasted my first two years on a major I did not enjoy! I eventual plan is to become a doctor. I still have a long ways to get there, but I am hopeful. People always ask me what specialty I am planning on, and I always hate giving them an answer. That part of my life is sooooo far away that I know my views and likes on different areas of medicine will change. Because most people expect an answer, I tell them sleep medicine because something about sleep and dreams interest me so much. I was the kid who had night terrors and sleep walked (I still do sometimes), so I think it would be a good fit for me. My biggest hobby wo...

Week 11 Story: The Voice

A few months had passed since the Jackal/Lion cub was made fun of for using his voice. Many had forgotten as he had fell into the background during the games and activities that he went to. He still had the body of a lion and that was enough to stop others from continuing to make fun of him. The worst part about not using his voice is that the cub was terrified to pursue his true dream: to sing. One day the cub was running errands for his father (the lion). He had some food strapped on his back that he was carrying home and was getting bored on the long walk back home. Then, a thought popped into his head. He looked around and saw that no one was there, so he began to sing. What many do not know about a jackal's voice is that they have the most beautiful singing voice. It had been so long since the cub had been able to use his voice that is was a little hoarse, but shortly it became a lovely clear tune that his mother (the jackal) used to sing for him when he was little.
