Famous Last Words: Week 3 I am a Mess

To sum up my current state, I am a mess. I set expectations upon myself, but sometimes they do not work out and it is completely my fault. I planned on getting ahead in the class and here I am writing this a few hours before the assignment is due. On the bright side I am still getting this done, but it would be so much better if I started earlier. The biggest mistake I made so far was telling my boss I could work my hours. I had a major talk with my parents about work and school, since this is my last semester, and for my case school is more important than working a lot of hours right now. I will be working less hours this semester so I can focus more on school because I know as the weeks become busier I am going to be drained from everything. Biggest piece of advice I can give someone this week is schedule your time wisely for sure and also make sure the schedule you set is doable. Whether you have to cut back hours from work, or spend a few hours less with friends, just make sure you give yourself enough time to balance everything. 

I do have some good things to talk about. Since I am taking a gap year, I will be planning a half month long trip to Scandinavia and explore the region. I am super excited about that and I can not wait to visit the various countries within Scandinavia. The environment looks so beautiful and I can not wait to try some of the food (don't judge me haha). Overall, thought this week has not been too bad, I just need to learn how to balance my life together and make sure I keep up with everything I am supposed to do.

Week 7 Wikipedia Trails: From Durvasa to Mandar Parvat

Image
The first topic I wanted to search on Wikipedia was Durvasa . He is a sage that casts curses on people, while also sometimes rarely giving people blessings. He is known for being ill tempered and he was a major reason why the churning of the ocean needed to be done. Then from Durvasa I clicked on the Samudra manthan . This is an episode that involves the churning of the ocean found within the Mahabharata Bhavagata Purana. It is interesting that this is found in several different sources and how the telling of the story may be a little different in each source. From there I clicked on Mount Mandara . Mount Mandara was actually used as the churning rod by the gods and demons to churn the ocean. Lastly, I clicked on the Mandar Parvat , which is a small mountain within the district of Bihar. Supposedly, this may have been Mount Mandara that was used to churn the ocean.                                 ...

My Assignments

Image
The setup for the class is really different and interesting from any other class I have taken. I am looking forward to the assignments for the class. I am ready for the Reading assignments. I am unfamiliar with Indian epics and I can not wait to begin reading these books. Another type of assignment that I will enjoy is the Storytelling aspect. Through storytelling I will be able to recollect the stories I have read, while adding a creative element that I have created. I also love the idea of having extra credit. For a matter of fact I do not know a student who does not like extra credit. One of the extra credits I am looking forward to is the Wikipedia Trails. I believe the skill of clicking on links within Wikipedia comes naturally to me. One moment I am looking up a cell on Wikipedia for an assignment, then somehow I end up looking at Rottweilers. Having a variety of assignments like these keep the class extremely interesting and I am looking forward to the various class assig...

"That man will be mine," said Soorpanaka. Soorpanaka was the wild and deceitful sister of Ravana. She was given her own forest to rule and Soorpanaka made sure to greet her guests with open arms. There was one major problem with Soorpanaka. She greeted people by eventually killing everyone who entered her territory. One man caught her attention though. Someone she may have just loved and no it is not Rama. That would be such a predictable story. That is a different story. The man she wanted before Rama was named Kabir.
