Week 9 Reading: Filipino pt. B

I am focusing my notes on the story of The Ant. For some reason, I had a really hard time focusing on these notes/readings today. The noting strategy I am going to use for this week is the bullet point notes of the main ideas from the text. I want to utilize this strategy because I had a hard time focusing and did not retain much the first time I read it, and so making points about the most important parts of the story will help me to look back and remember everything!


  • God made both the ants and the snakes from the ground after he created the earth. 
    • These were made from a rock 
  • the snake wanted God to give him power
    • he wanted to kill those who were troublesome people and also the rebellious people. 
    • God put poison into the teeth of the snake which allowed him to kill the bad people. 
    • he was instructed to be conscientious of the people's actions before biting them.
  • The ant got jealous and wanted the same powers that the snake had just gotten. 
    • God gave him the powers because he thought the snake could probably use a helper. 
  • the ant was so excited that he started running and so God called to him to slow down
    • the ant didn't listen and so he got some of his power taken away. 
    • this is why the ant has less power than the snake

Introduction to Pip

Hi friends! Welcome to my blog :) My name is Piper, but most of my friends call me a slew of nicknames like Pipe, Pipey, Pipes, Pipeydoodle, Pip (hence Pip Pip Hurray)... you get the point! I am a student at the University of Oklahoma, and I am currently finishing up my last semester before I graduate (don't remind me, I'm getting emotional about it). I am from Tulsa, OK originally, and I would love to go back someday, but my future is pretty up in the air right now so I am not sure when that might be. I am studying Health and Exercise Science with an emphasis on Pre-Occupational Therapy, and the goal would be to start OT school in Summer 2020. I'm super passionate about people and forming relationships, which is what drew me to OT. I love the idea of working in a profession that allows me to make new friends, love others, and solve problems all at the same time. As well as my many nicknames, my friends call me an old lady at heart. I love to read (most recent book- Where

Week 4 Story- The Hungry Urshana

It had been seven days that all of the animals had been stowed away on the ship. They were hungry. They were tired. Their paws, claws, and hooves hurt. It seemed as though every moment another type of animal was complaining about something, and it took all Noah had to be patient and try to tend to their every need. He was exhausted as well; not only did he have to build this giant ark, load all of the living things on the entire earth into the ark, load and take care of this family, but he also had to feed every species on the boat. Imagine herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores all living in one boat. It was all Noah's responsibility to keep them from eating each other and from eating Noah and his family! For such a long time, as well. This was not just a week-long, leisurely vacation with his family. This was the entire responsibility of saving the world that God had put in Noah's hands! So yes, stressed and exhausted is an understatement. On the eighth day, Noah was walking
