Favorite Place

My Favorite Place

Writing about my favorite place is an odd topic for me because I have yet been able to go and see it in person. Having traveled to almost all of Europe when I was younger because of my father's work, my favorite location is not even among the places I have been. Edo Castle is easily my favorite place and it is easily the one place I would love to visit if I am ever able to go to Japan. Japanese culture and history is something I have deep respect and admiration for and going to Edo Castle in Tokyo is something I have wanted to do for many years.

    Oh wow, it was fun to see Edo here, Jake! Now I know that you were thinking about that right from the start of your Arthur Storybook. Very cool! In India, there are some structures called "forts" that are really fortresses or castles; Wikipedia has a good list: List of forts in India ... maybe you can find a good one to make use of for this semester! Here is a list of the most famous ones with some gorgeous pictures: India’s Popular 15 Big Forts

    Hey Jake! I’ve just recently gotten into travelling and haven’t had a chance to visit another continent yet. Edo Castle looks really cool and I think travelling to Japan would be a lot of fun. It’s definitely on my bucket list. I’ve not gone to Europe yet either, but I hear it’s a lot of walking. I’m not sure how I’d feel about that. Thanks for sharing!

Introduction to a Comm Major's Gamer Life

Hello everyone,  My name is Jake Compton and I am a Senior Communication Major. I have been in college since FA 2012 and have changed my major a few times starting with Chemical Engineering, moving to Finance, and finally settling on Communication. Initially I went to The University of Tulsa and played football my freshman year, but the struggles of football plus Chem E. was a lot to handle and I ended up transferring out and going to community college for a while. Finally making my way to OU as a Finance major however after doing very bad in Calc 2  I finally switched to Communication. Lucky for me, I want to be a sales rep. for a chemical company such as Chevron Phillips, Exxon, Shell, etc. and there are many majors that I can use to achieve that. After quitting football I was looking for something to do competitively and my brother introduced me to Magic: The Gathering and I have been playing that semi-competitively since 2013 and plan on being more competitive after graduation.

Week 11 Story: The Turtle that couldn't stop talking

Image
Once upon a time, there was a lonely turtle in living in a pond all alone. He saw two geese that were flying south for the winter and they passed by his pond. He called up to them and they flew down to him and they stuck up a conversation. Soon, the three of them became very close friends and they spent the entire winter with the turtle. The turtle showed the two geese around his small little pond and showed them the best places to look for food and where the best places to swim were. However, at the end of winter the geese were leaving to go back to their home. The geese noticed the sad look on the turtle’s face as they were telling him that they needed to go back to their home. As the turtle turned around and began to turn away to head back to the pond, the geese called out to the turtle and asked the him if he would like to join them and go to their home with them so they can continue to be friends. They said they would bring him with them if he did not talk at all along the trip an
