Topic Brainstorm

Gods/Devas
As I mentioned in a previous blog, one of my favorite games of all time is Smite. This game features gods from a few different pantheons, including gods from the Hindu Pantheon. The game gives a basic background on the gods tailored to the game itself. I am interested in seeing how well the designers interpretations of the gods match up with how they are classically portrayed. I think I would likely focus on significant battles they fought when retelling stories.

Weapons of the Gods/Astra
I have always been interested in weaponry. I greatly enjoy military history, and while this isn't quite history, I think it will still interest me. I have little to no knowledge on any of the weapons of the gods. I think I will likely focus on the roles these weapons played in significant battles, or how they came into being.

Epic Battles
Again, I really enjoy military history, so I think reading about these battles will be pretty exciting. I know nothing of the battles in the epics. I think I will focus on the impact these battles have in the overall story, or maybe just focus on the epicness of the battles themselves.

Devi
Similar to my interest in the gods, my interest in Devi stems from Smite. Kali was a playable character in the game, and one of my favorites, so I am interested in seeing how the two depictions match up. My only knowledge of Devi is of Kali. I will likely focus my storytelling on Kali and on Devi's impact on humanity.

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day. Often my favorite parts of my classes are those that involve looking at the chemistry behind the mechanics. That being said, I switched to Aerospace because I realized how much I love aircraft and spacecraft. I am a member of the Boomer Rocket Team, an engineering competition team focused on building rockets for competition. Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing. BRT Rocket Launching at Competition Courtesy of BRT Other than building rockets, I am an avid gamer. I probably play more video games than I should, but I'm having fun so I guess I don't really care. I primarily play Overwatch and Dota 2. I play a number of other games as

Week 7 Story - You'll Find Your Dreams at a Crossroads

It was nearing midnight, and though the moon shone full, it was still dark. Justin walked forward, tentatively, following an old path in the woods. He had heard the legends. The hushed whispers of the folk of the town he grew up in. That there was something that could give him anything he had ever wanted. Something unnatural. He heard the rumors: that you had to bring gifts – an offering of sorts. He had spent the last week meticulously gathering what he needed: a yarrow flower, a cat’s paw, human blood – your own blood.   You’ll find your dreams at a crossroads. It was a phrase well recorded with the town. Every victim of an unsolved murder within the last hundred years in his town had the phrase carved into one of their arms. Granted, there weren’t many of them, but there were enough to make people wonder. The phrase repeated in his mind over and over. He grew nervous. The Crossroads Justin stopped. In front of him, the path split. A crossroads, he thought . He was the
