Introduction of Fall 2015 and Tech Tip: Embedded YouTube

Hello! My name is Urian Lee and I am majoring in Accounting. I have lived in Oklahoma ever since the summer of 2007. My family has recently moved to Wisconsin this past winter so I am basically by myself now besides my girlfriend and friends I have here. During my years here in Oklahoma, I have been getting a lot of allergies compared to when I lived in Fresno, California.

I am the oldest of three and I am the only one with a unique name. I was born in Fresno, Ca. and so was my little brother, Peter. My younger sister, Emily, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. The reason why my sister was born in a different place was because our family had moved up to Minnesota, a year after my brother was born, was to be closer with other relatives who lived there and in Wisconsin. There in St. Paul I started Kindergarten and ended 3^rd grade. After finishing the 3^rd grade, my family and I moved back to Fresno. Four years later after moving to Fresno we moved again and this time to Oklahoma. Why Oklahoma right? Well my parents saw interest in the country side and in cattle raising so they bought a huge plot of land of about 177 acres in a little place called Nowata.

Not very many people in Oklahoma know much about Nowata. About 90% of my friends here at OU did not know about its existence until I came along. My family had a lot of cattle when we lived in Nowata. We also had a little dog too. My dad got our dog right before we moved from Fresno to Nowata. Her name was Nikki and she was a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. She was my fourth pet I had (not including some goldfish I used to have because they only lasted about a week). A year after we moved in, Nikki had a litter of 3 little puppies. We named them Mimi, Spotty, and Betty. Each of their names had some sort of meaning in their appearance. Mimi was because she looked almost exactly like her mother, Spotty because he had a white spot in the middle of his head, and Betty because her fur was black and white and reminded us of a cow.

Long story short I graduated high school and I am now still in college. This recent summer I did not have much time to have fun because I worked and I had summer classes. In one of my classes I had to find some historical landmarks around Norman and I chose two landmarks right here on campus. One of them was the Bizzell Memorial Library that was declared a National Historical Landmark in 2001. The second historical landmark is the President’s House that our current OU President Boren is living in.

If I could go back to any of the places that I have already been to, I would probably choose to go back to Minnesota. The reason for choosing to go back there is because I actually have a lot more memories as a child there than any other place I lived. Also there is the Mall of America which is pretty awesome if anyone gets the chance to go.

I have enjoyed every moment that I have had here at the University of Oklahoma. I have no regrets and will always keep moving forward. I hope that this school year will be another great year.
