Reading Notes: Turkish, Reading B

Patience-Stone and Patience-Knife

  • I like the repetition in this story
    • The noise the bird makes and the thing it says
  • Stayed inside bc of the warnings
    • eventually ventured out
    • wall between maiden and others
    • awoke with doors filled with precious things
      • 40th door - Bey 
        • Fan for forty days = find her kismet
  • Fallen from maiden to cook
    • gifts: patience-stone and knife
    • Bey's journey to find them
    • Used them to tell her life's story
      • Bey saw and knew the truth - she was his rightful wife

The Soothsayer:
  • An ultimatum 
  • A prank
    • take chief-soothsayer wife's ring, hide it and find it
    • happy ending - from artisan to chief soothsayer 
      • How'd his wife feel about this?

Introduction to a Future Health Professional

Hellloooo everyone, my name is Karissa Hughes, and here is a little bit about me. I have twin, who I live with and also goes to OU; the nature of our relationship is loving annoyance. Although I do not have a cat, my roommate does, and I'm already obsessed with him and his little socks. His name is Boomer, and sometimes I accidentally call him Sooner. My major is Health, Medicine, and Society. It is multidisciplinary, which I appreciate because I like learning from different perspectives, and is geared towards pre-Medicine students. I have already completed all of the pre-Med prerequisites, but I'm still not exactly sure if I want to go to medical school. I recently learned more about the field of Public Health and have become interested in possibly pursuing a career in that instead. Health has become my passion, especially learning more about the social aspects of health, how various identities affect health experiences, and the reasons behind and consequences of health...

Week 14 Story: Bedtime Stories of Bala Lake

Brenin walked up the stairs to their kid's bedroom, thinking about their long day at work. Two people had asked them about their pronouns and identity today; it was emotionally draining. Sometimes Brenin wished their coworkers and friends would do some of that educational work without relying on them. Before starting at their new job, Brenin's goal was to foster an inclusive work environment; first by encouraging people to say their pronouns when introducing themselves. There was more push back about this than they had imagined. They pushed those thoughts to the back of their head as they knocked on Alun's door, smiling at their child pushing books and toys back onto the shelf.  "Za! Can you tell me one of your bedtime stories tonight? I already put up all of the books!"  Brenin shook their head, wondering for the 100th time how Alun's nickname for them became a shortened version of pizza.  "Sure, kiddo. Hop up and lay down. I'll tell ...
