Famous Last Words: Week 12

My readings for this week have gone really well. I did some more videos for my reading. I am actually liking them better than the readings because I feel like I understand the stories better when they are told to me orally and seeing images rather than reading a book. I think in general the videos tend to be use more informal language which makes it to fully understand the story whereas the books tend to not do this. My best writing for this week was done for a paper I had due for my class it was also the only writing I did this week. After doing a read through my essay (which I did because I did not have a big enough word count) I was able to not only achieve a high enough word count, but I was also able to read through and edit and refine my paper more than I usually do when I write. I also feel like with the amount of writing I do in this class and the feedback I get from that writing has made me a better writer than I have been. My other classes are going good with the exception of my studio which I seem to be constantly behind in, but since my final project in that class is due in three weeks I have been determined to do better. So I made a schedule for the order and days I should do things for that project and I also included big dates for my other classes so I will not forget about them and keep up with everything. As for outside of class there basically is no outside of class for me. My goal for next week is to not procrastinate especially when it comes to my studio class.

Procrastination Meme

  1. YES, I LOVE the procrastination meme! If that doesn't make me feel okay about sometimes being behind and procrastinating (which I thought I was over), then I don't know what does!
    Also, it's great that this class has been able to help you with your other classes as well!
    I still want to watch the videos for some readings as well. Similar to you, I feel that it'd really increase my understanding.
    Great job!

Week 14 Story: The Unknown Brother

One day Narada had a mango and he decided to go and offer it to one of Shiva’s sons. As he was making the climb up Mount Kailasa Narada wondered which of Shiva’s sons he should give the mango to. Unable to decide, Narada came up with an idea to decide who to give the mango to. Narada finally made it to the top and sitting there were the people he had come looking for. Shiva smiled and said, “What brings you here to today, Narada?” Narada smiled at Shiva and Parvati and then turned towards their sons and said, “I came to give this mango to one of your sons. I have also made a competition to decide who gets the mango. The person who can go around the world three times before the other gets the mango.” And with that statement Kartikeya jumped onto his peacock and immediately went off. As he was going around the world Ganesha just sat there and happily watched his brother going around the world. As they sat there Parvati and Narada were wondering why Ganesha did not get up...

Week 12 Story: Radha's Heartbreak

Radha was pacing around the lake in the village muttering to herself, “I have had enough of Krishna and his player ways.” “Who are you talking to,” said a voice from behind her. Radha whirled around and saw a mysterious man. She said, “Who are you?” The mysterious man replied, “Just a passerby who happened to hear you muttering to yourself. You know a good way to vent your anger out is to just talk about it.” Radha eyed the mysterious man and then she decided that it might be for the best if she talked to someone about it, and since she had no friends this man was just as good as any. “OK,” she said. And so her story began. “It all started many years ago. I was born and raised in a village called Gokul. My whole life I had grown up alongside Krishna, and as long as I can remember I have always loved him.  He was a very popular man among the gopis who always tried to catch his attention, but he always kept his eyes on me. I would do absolutely anything for h...
