Story Endings: I noticed all of the folktales from my first reading ended happily with the characters getting rich, reuniting with family, or everything returning to normal again. I wanted to jot down the trends in all of these stories. Dragon, Source The Man Who Met Misery “ At last — there was no other choice, for the ring kept on calling out "Here I am" — Francis stretched out that finger, and the ogre broke it off with one grip. Off ran Francis, glad enough to get off with his life. When he reached home, they asked him: "Did you meet Misery?" "Indeed I did. I know what it is now. It gave me a nice run for it. It's an awful thing, and there's no joking with it. This is one of those stories where crazy things happened, and the best ending possible was for things to just go back to normal. Nine at a Blow “ The tailor told the king that the dragon had killed the giant, so he pocketed the thousand pounds for himself.” Happy en

My last name, Bezdek, is Czech so I thought it would be interesting to read stories that were possibly told to my ancestors growing up in Europe. Since most of these stories are unfamiliar to me, I'm going to jot down notes on general plot and storyline Bibliography: Czech Folktales, Source Sleepy John He fell asleep a lot, I guess narcolepsy is what we'd say today Fell asleep in a cart, and men left him in the forest.

This article was 10 Ways to Be More Productive When Working from Home and I enjoyed it a lot Even though it's mostly referring to adults who have real jobs they do in their home offices, a lot of these tips are applicable for me doing my homework for this online class and my other classes. Pug in a blanket, Source One thing c onfirmed was that I'll be more productive if I get dressed. If I don't leave my house all day, I know that I have to change clothes or I'll feel gross. I think it helps me focus and want to work. Something new I learned is that it helps to go outside for a little bit before you start your work. This little "commute" can get you in the work frame of mind and get you energized. Something I am curious to explore is switching up my work space location. I typically work from my bed or the couch downstairs, but I wonder if my productivity will go up if I sit in a desk or at a physical table instead of putting my laptop on my lap.

Even though I am allergic, I love cats. So I'm very excited to look at some cute inspirational cats today. This cat is from here , and it caught my eye because of how fast it is zooming. After I clicked the link and learned the cat's name is Mrs. Bean, I now love this cat even more than before. A lot of cats are indoor creatures, so I liked how this cat is outside in the grass chasing her dreams. I support her. Sometimes we need to leave our comfort zones to chase dreams. I like this  little cat because it is small and pretty and also the quote is important too. I tend to think I know everything, and I have a habit of saying "I know" way too much. I will continue learning new things my whole life and just because I don't know everything doesn't mean I'm dumb, it means I'm a person.  This cat made me laugh, because it looks so serious looking a itself in the mirror. I think this cat is important because feedback is sometimes scary and it

Me and my fellow University Sing directors (personal photo) Our reading for this week. This week honestly wasn’t my best readings. I chose Alice in Wonderland, and I kind of already knew the story. I wish I would have chosen a new story I had never heard of, but most of the Celtic and British ones were vaguely familiar. Your best writing for this week. I think I did my best writing this week in my sorority’s production of University Sing! Technically, I wrote most of the script a few months ago but this past weekend was the first time I got to see it performed onstage and have my cast say the story I wrote out loud. It was really cool and satisfying to know that my hard work make people laugh and smile and fall in love with our story. Other people's writing . I really liked a lot of the stories I read this week, but especially the one about dragons! The whole blog website was well formatted and each story had unique characters and scenes that I wasn’t famil

A woman in her early twenties walked into the bar with holes in her tights and brown dirty stains on her blue dress. Her blonde hair was tied back in a neat ribbon, but looked like it hadn’t been brushed in several days. Irish Pub, Source “One Mad Hatter on the rocks, please.” The woman climbed onto the tall barstool, her legs dangling off of it. After receiving her drink she played with the straw for a few minutes, not taking a single sip. "Hey kid, you doing alright?" The young bartender approached her with a kind smile on his face. The woman stopped messing with her straw and looked up at him with tired eyes. “I’ve been better. Had kinda a long day,” she replied. She took a long sip of her drink and finished the whole thing in one gulp. “You’re not the first to tell me that. What’s your name?” The bartender seemed genuinely interested in what this mysterious woman had to say. “Alice. And there’s no way you’d believe the day I had. It was mad.” She reste
