Grammatical Lessons Over Prescriptivists and Descriptivists by Andreea S. Calude
For this week I decided to do a Story Lab over language, grammar, and punctuation. This decision came to me after having completed and receiving revisions on my first story. One of my biggest corrections needed was that of grammar. How to word things and realizing I was switching tenses, were both problems I needed to correct. After watching the TEDEd videos, I have realized that language is continuously revolving and how complex grammar actually is! Seeing how languages have formed and stemmed essentially from each other is amazing. One thing about grammar that really caught me was realizing that the last time when I was taught grammar was years ago in middle school. Therefore it makes sense why I missed such things and also why colleges encourage the taking of an intensive writing course. The video I posted above, and ones similar, will definitely be one I reference when writing my next story for my storybook.

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...
After watching the first video, "Great Goddesses", it was more centered on how many goddesses of mythology are known to provide wealth and fertility. However they can also be a tad bit sneaky and have loopholes involved in their interests. It was also found that many ancient womanly statues had been found suggesting that maybe the/a woman was worshiped in the ancient times. In the second video, "Fire and Buffalo Goddesses" it is started with a story of these Hawaiian goddesses and how one had fell in love but became angry and decided to burn, with lava, the other sister's things. Long story short it is questioned whether our actions towards the gods influence their actions towards us. I feel like depending on the god's intentions, this could be a true thing. The third video explored Archetypes and Male Divinities. It was very interesting to see how usually in mythology how the sons of a god usually become conduits of their father's attributes. Yet, th...
