Week 8 Reading and Writing

Overall, this class has been going well. I have found the reading more challenging this semester. I think it is a combination of both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata being so long and the public versions so disjointed. I have enjoyed writing stories about these characters. This semester, I've taken more advantage of the extra credit opportunities.

So far, I really like my project. It is so fun to tell a story in a way it has never been done. I've enjoyed being creative with the use of GIFs as the background of my stories.

I think my biggest accomplishment was my story Sita Sings Pop. It was really fun to write and came out really well (at least in my {very biased} opinion). I also really enjoyed the video that inspired this story, Sita Sings the Blues.

I hate taking reading notes.

In the future, I just need to keep track of due dates and not fall behind.

I really love learning and Biology allows me to use more analytical parts of my brain while Religious Studies allows for some creativity.

This is an internship program that uses problem-solving tactics to consult with companies around the country. This internship has taught me professionalism and how to work with a team. This summer I had the opportunity to work with Nalco Champion as an Engineering & Sales intern! I had a blast and was able to spend my summer in California. Here...

Week 13 Story: The Palace Dogs

Image
In a great and splendid palace, belonging to mighty king, there lived two palace dogs. They were the king’s beloved companions. In the presence of their master, they were loving and obedient. When the master was not around, their character reversed and they became mischievous, pestilent things.  One night, a thunderstorm broke across the sky. The bright flashes of lightning and loud cracks of thunder filled the palace dogs with a wild passion. They broke from their collars and leashes and ran into the night. They ran throughout the royal gardens, taking special care to roll and stomp in the largest mud puddles. They bit off roses from their bush and muddied all of the fountains. In their furious frolic, they arrived at the idea to storm the throne room. The dogs ran teeth gnashing, paws muddied, and mind frenzied through the palace into the majestic court room of the king. They rolled on the rugs, tore down the tapestries, and chewed on the arm of the throne. When the room was p...
