First Impression: Assignments

-

 


This class has been unlike any other classes I have ever taken in my four years of college. The structure and design of this class are very clever and unique. I love that it is so detailed and self-paced. I am specifically interested in learning more about Ramayana and Mahabharata as it has its own special form in Indonesia.  I am most excited and nervous about the storytelling assignments as I am still thinking of a theme/universe that is unique. The ones shown from previous semesters were so brilliant! I think the extra credit assignment on Wikipedia Trails is such a great idea. There are many times where I would oftentimes click on a Wikipedia page and end up on the most random page. One time, I was on an actress's page on Wikipedia and I ended on the bizarre ways to die page. 

In fact, there's a game now where you choose two topics and see if you could start from one topic Wikipedia page and end up in the other!

Introduction to Amy, a girl who despises the question "Where are you from?"

 So, you might be wondering "What's wrong with that question?" Heres my issue: Is this question asking where I grew up:  Indonesia , where I was born:  Oklahoma , or my ethnicity:  Cantonese-Vietnamese-and all sorts of Southeast Asian ethnicities ?   I never know which to answer. My name is Amy Tan. I am currently a senior studying chemical biosciences in my last semester at the University of Oklahoma. I was born in Norman, Oklahoma but I was raised most of my life in Indonesia. My family decided to move to Indonesia when I was about four years old. All I knew was Indonesia, the culture, food, language, and basically everything. I moved back to the states to pursue medicine as I do sincerely believe it is my purpose in life.  I am currently in the process of applying to medical schools which have been very hard on my mental health. I've been nothing but anxious, but also excited for what's to come. I am currently working in the emergency department at ...
