Learning Challenge: Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying

Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying I already knew that you shouldn't study all night, and that if you didn't get enough sleep you could do worse on a test or in class in general. I didn't know that in REM sleep you consolidate more and get rid of useless information to make more room for the useful information. I am curious to explore how long REM sleep is and when approximately it starts and ends so I can make sure I have enough sleep to at least get through that stage of the sleeping cycle.

Growth Mindset: Scientist Finds Secret to Thriving

Scientist Finds Secret to Thriving One thing confirmed for me in this article is that in order to thrive people must be pleased with their current life. One thing I'm curious to explore is how I can thrive in my field once I've graduated and started working. I guess one way to act on this curiosity is to do some research into the past and see how people in my field have managed to thrive, and what they've done to achieve this. And then think about how I to can thrive. Thriving Meme Source

Famous Last Words: I'll do it Tuesday.

My readings for this week actually went well I did both of them, and I fully understood what was going on. The only problem I had was that I probably took to many notes, and I also forgot to do the declaration for one of them. My story this week was kind of done in a rush and I wish I had more time to do that. My biggest problem was making myself do the extra credit I desperately needed to do I said I would do half of them Tuesday and the other half on Thursday when I don’t have class. In the end I only did a couple Tuesday and the rest Sunday. Some things I’ve noticed from other students’ blogs and stories where the author’s notes, and how I could improve on my own author’s notes with being more specific on what I did or didn’t incorporate into the story and why I made those decisions. I have noticed connections between my other classes and this one specifically how my studio class basically has taken priority over all my other classes which is sad. Know though we have started the fi...

Week 9 Review

The one item I found interesting in the announcements was the project Barney's Blog: How to Be Awesome . When I saw this I knew it would be the interesting thing because I love How I Met Your Mother, and Barney is my favorite character in the show. I absolutely love the New Plays from the Playbook page it's my favorite thing that Barney does in How I Met Your Mother. Barney's Playbook Source

Week 9 Story: Bedtime Story vs. Mulan

"Okay children. Come sit down and I'll tell you a bedtime story." said the Grandfather to his grandchildren . “But grandpa you always tell a story. I want to watch a movie. Let’s watch a movie instead. I want to watch Mulan” said Priya. “Back in my day they didn’t have those fancy DVD players to watch Disney movies on all day so we’re going to have a story instead of you rotting your brains out in front of the TV.” the grandfather replied. The grandchildren groaned but still listened as he started the story. “Now I will continue where I left off last time with the story of how the Pandavas came into being. A long time ago there was a kingdom with three brothers. The oldest was Dhristarshtra the king who ruled in name only, the second son was Pandu the beloved son and the one who ran the kingdom, and the third son was Vidura who helped Pandu rule the kingdom. Now one day the Pandu decided to go on a hunting trip through the forest with his two wives, and while the...

Reading Notes: Mahabharata Video Section B

Episode 9 Kunti has son god child Episode 10 Pandu got cursed in the most ridiculous way Episode 11 Kunti had three children by gods Madri had two children by gods I find it ridiculous that it's okay for a woman to have a child with a god if she's married, but not if she isn't Pandu raped Madri and died Madri decided to kill herself because of her idiot husband Episode 12 Gandhri gave birth to demon children First indication of something wrong with her children probably should have been that they were made out of a putrid lump of flesh Episode 13 Duryohodhana is a spoiled brat who became jealous of his cousins King Shakani acted like a child and stirred things up with Duryohodhana and the Pandavas Episode 14 Bheem was almost killed by Duryohdhana  Bheem got super strength Episode 15 Drona got ball out of well and became Pandavas tutor Episode 16 Started learning from Drona Episode 17 Arjuna acted like a child ...

Wikipedia Trail: From Selena to BTS

I started off with Selena because when I was on google earlier I saw she was the google doodle today and I also saw it on the class twitter stream. Although I don't listen to tejano music and don't know any of her songs I thought I should still do this trail starting with her. Mostly because I think she's an inspiration for anyone who wants to be a musician in a genre of music isn't as popular in mainstream US music. She was one of the most influential Latin artists of all time, and I think that's because of the achievements in music that she reached. Selena's article sent me to the article for the Billboard music awards. I wanted to go this one because because the album it was referring to allowed her to tour in the US, and I was curious to see if she won the awards it was mentioning. The Billboard music awards led me to the 2017 Billboard music awards page. And if i'm being completely honest its because at this point I realized where I could, and wante...

Reading Notes: Mahabharata Video Section A

Notes: Introductin Story of an all-consuming war An account of how Karma functions Episodes 1-8 King Shantanu and Ganga river goddess Asking not to be questioned should have been the first hint that there was something going on with this river godess Evan if he promised not to question her he shouldn't have let her drown their children King Shantanu and Satyavati Devarat is dedicated to his father That's a weird boon to grant Devarat Bhishma was really mean to Amba Dhristarshtra  Why does he want to be king if he doesn't want all the responsibilities of being king Ganhari is probably more dedicated than she needed to be towards him Why is Shakuni so angry that she decided to blindfold herself for the rest of her life No one forced her to do it Shakuni just needs to chill Dhristarshtra and Gandhari Source Bibliography: Mahabharata Video by Epified
