Week 8 Progress

Feedback Cat: Rise to the Challenge


     Looking back, I am happy with my progress so far. I'm right where I should be, even slightly ahead. I am most proud that I've been able to stay on task with my person schedule even with everything that is going on right now (I'm taking two 8-week courses and they're finishing up this week, plus I've done several interviews). I would consider that I have a good weekly routine, it's changed slightly with trying to get things for my 8-week courses finished, but overall I have a good routine going. The class assignment that I enjoy the most so far is working on my storybook project, though I do find the readings to be pretty interesting, since before I started this course I knew very little about Indian mythology. I have used a couple of the extra credit options, but my other courses take up much of my time. As soon as I finish my 8-week courses this week and the vast amount of reading for a different course, I want to pursue more extra credit opportunities. Things are going very well in developing my blog and website, I still need to make minor adjustments but overall I'm pleased with them.

     Looking forward, I want to make a couple changes. I want to do lots of extra credit in the coming weeks so that hopefully I can finish the course early. I also want to work ahead on the weekly assignments when I can. One pitfall I want to avoid is falling behind, and it should be much easier to avoid once this week is over. A new type of story writing I might want to try is writing a horror story. That will depend on the stories I read however. I might change the look of my blog slightly by changing the theme to more black and white. I think it would be easier for people to read. As far as my website, apart from making minor grammatical changes to my first story and adding the other stories, I want to change the banner picture perhaps. I have something in mind, I'll have to see if I can accomplish it.

Introduction to a Future Cybersecurity Professional and Future World Traveler

Image
     Hello everyone, and welcome to the start of my blog! My name is Jackie Austin, I am a graduating Senior from Tulsa, OK. My major is Information Studies, and a cool thing about my major is that I'm able to do a lot of stuff with technology, in fact most of the core courses for my degree were online. The BEST class I took last semester was Cybersecurity Essentials, which was an elective for my degree. It was the best class to me because I got to learn practical knowledge about something that I'm passionate about. I've always been interested in cybersecurity as a possible career field. If any of you who are reading this are familiar with Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds, that's the kind of computer knowledge I want to have. I guess my biggest accomplishment last semester would be to have obtained an A in that cybersecurity course. I can't really think of anything else.      So I have a lot of favorite books/movies/TV shows. I love Harry Potter with all my hea

Week 11 Story: The Witch Who Saved Herself

Image
  Image of Babbity Rabbity      Once upon a time, there was a witch named Babbity Rabbity who lived in a charming house. She loved practicing her magic. She had to do it in secret, however. For these were the days of the Witch Trials, and any person accused of practicing witchcraft was usually killed.      One day she was practicing her magic as usual, and she thought she was doing it secretly enough, but a sliver of her curtain was open. A young man, who had been passing close by her house as he did everyday, glanced into her window and witnessed her reciting incantations. Face paling with horror, he ran to the town leader to tell him what he had observed. The leader, angry and frightened, rounded up the townsfolk and went to her house.      The witch, surprisingly, didn't deny the accusations. She was a witch and she was proud of it. She was a kind witch, who had never hurt anyone with her magic. They gathered around her, offering suggestions for what to do with her. &q
