My Favorite Place ~Seville, Spain~

I chose Seville, Spain as my favorite place! I was fortunate to spend a month for study abroad in Seville last summer. During that time I stayed in a host home with a Spanish family and toured the area with my class group.

One of the areas in the town I became fond of is called  La Encarnación. This is home to the Metropol Parasol or also known to the locals as Las Setas. From the top of this structure you can see a vast majority of the city since there are no major skyscrapers.

The above image is a mall in the area of Seville, called Nervión, in which I lived. I chose this mall because of its architecture and use of technology. It has a slide from the second floor to the bottom and has interactive spots to find the specific type of stores you are looking for! Overall, Seville is a place I would recommend visiting due to its variety of hidden treasures!

    This is marvelous, Crystel! Maybe you will want to do a Spain-inspired project for this class. There are some great English-language resources you can find online, and it sounds like you would be able to use Spanish-language resources too. Here are some books online you might want to browse next week when you are brainstorming project topics:
    Legends and Romances of Spain
    Tales from the Lands of Nuts and Grapes
    The Spanish Fairy Book
    (and your blog looks so pretty; even my comment is showing up in this fancy font!)

      Thank you! I hadn't thought about doing a Spain-inspired project but that's a good idea!

The Introduction of Me!! 

Pomsky  By Kaelin Tully  Hi guys, I’m Crystel Fields! I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma and currently a super-senior (last year…woo!) majoring in Microbiology. I know what you are wondering...“Whoa, are you Pre -Med or something?”, yes I am! I chose my major not only because of it having a vast majority of the classes need to apply to medical school, but because I truly find it interesting. I love microscopic work and being able to identify what a certain bacterium is. Furthermore, I also really enjoy having the ability to work through and diagnose patients with various conditions like in a class I am currently taking called Medical Microbiology. I hope to go on to medical school within a year to become a surgeon, not sure on specific practice yet. Anyways, enough about school ha-ha, in my free time I like to do a little of everything: hangout with friends, read, craft, and of course attend OU football games! My time with friends could be spent doing anything from just s...

Week 4 Story: Hannah the Hedgehog

Hannah the Hedgehog THERE was once a countryman who had money and plenty of land but yet he was unhappy for he had no children. One day he became so upset he said, "I will have a child, even if it be a hedgehog." However when his wife conceived that hedgehog child, the man was still unhappy. Hannah the Hedgehog saw daily how unhappy her parents were to have her and thought of an idea. "Dear father, I will ride away and never come back again only if you bring me a fiddle from the market." The father rushed off to get a fiddle and not only did he get any old fiddle, but the very best one in hopes this would make the child stay away. Hannah took the fiddle and left as she had promised for that's all she had. She went deep into the forest and managed to find home in a mulberry bush where she played her fiddle day in and day out. One day a lost King came stumbling through the forest and heard the music. He was astonished at the sound and sent a serva...
