Famous Last Words: Week 13

Both my readings for this week went really well. It gave me ideas for my storybook project this next week. My best writing, and my only writing, was only in this class. It probably was not the best thing I have ever written I did it in kind of a rush. I have seen some interesting writing from other people this week. I commented on a lot of blogs this week where the author wrote stories from a person’s perspective that was rarely heard in the original story. For example, two people wrote from Yashoda’s point of view. One wrote about her experience having her child replaced with another and the other person wrote about her experience raising Krishna. My other classes are going well. Except for my studio class. This week after thanksgiving is when my final project is due which in architecture words usually means drop everything else and only do that. So we will see how well I can juggle my studio class work and class work for other classes. I made a schedule for this month for studio. I am about two weeks behind on it, you know no big deal. Although if I compare myself with other students I am probably right on schedule. Outside of school I do not really have a social life. Thanksgiving went as well as expected. I basically did no work over thanksgiving. My hope for this upcoming week is to be able to finish my studio project and manage to do all assignments for all other classes. I hopefully will not die in the process, and then after my project is done on Friday I hope to go home and collapse on my bed and think about nothing else. Then get back up and finally be able to focus on all my other classes.

  1. Oh man, that class sure seems like a lot of work. That's what always makes me so nervous as the semester nears the end. All of the work just seems to hit at once and bam everything is due. I see you've been doing a lot of extra credit in this class and keeping up with the work. Keep up the great work, you'll definitely get through it!

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...
