    Australia is an amazing place for sure, Ethan... and it is hard times right now there. Thanks to Twitter, I am connected with colleagues in Australia daily, and the news of the fires is almost inconceivable. I'm guessing that there might be a lot of climate-change storytelling in the classes this semester; one of my favorite Indian authors, Amitav Ghosh, has been exploring that connection between the old myths and our current climate, like in this incredible new novel: Gun Island by Amitav Ghosh. Powerful stuff.

Introduction to a Future Physical Therapist

Howdy y’all, my name is Ethan Rafferty, a 3 rd  year student at the University of Oklahoma. I’ve been a sooner fan since I was born, because my Dad attended the university, so I was raised around the culture. One could say that I was brainwashed to go here, but I truly do love the school, from the academics, to the campus, to the sports. I am 21 years old, and I am from Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas. There, I was raised by my mother and father with my two sisters. I am the middle child, and also the only boy, so it was quite the experience growing up with my siblings.              My major is Health Exercise Science. I did not initially come to OU with that as my plan, but after my first semester, I realized that natural sciences and exercise physiology interested me way more than any business degree.

Microfiction: The Chicken, Cow, and Spider

Hint Fiction of The Chicken, Cow, and Spider "Hey Cow, you're in danger," said Spider. "Hey Chicken, you're in danger," said Cow. "Hey Spider, you're in danger," said Cow. "Let's leave," said all. Two Sentence Story of The Chicken, Cow, and Spider "Since we're all about to get killed, do you think we should leave the farm?" asked Cow and Chicken. "Yes," said Spider, as he got his things and headed out. Bibliography These two microfictions come from one of my stories that I recently rewrote, based on T he Woodpecker, Turtle, and Deer by Ellen C. Babbitt. My story, called, The Chicken, Cow, and Spider, takes a lot of elements from the plot of the first one and extends it. In the original story, each animal is trying to help the other animal escape danger. In these microfictions, I retold that story using quick sentences to describe each animal's feelings. In doing so, it helps add a comedic ef...
