Week 15: reflections

 The class went pretty well. Even though I am indian, I never grew up in a Hindu background. I learned a lot about the hindu gods and the stories pertaining to them. I really liked the growth mindsets and the famous last words. It makes you look back on the week and reflect on how it went. Not only that it helps figure what you maybbe doing wrkng and you can think about ways to correct that probelm. The only thing I did not find useful was the tech tips. However, i think that the because i keep up with new apps and the new tech coming out. I am most proud about the story tellings. I never liked writing and it was always one of worst qualities. I was suprised about how creative incould be. One piece of advice I would give is too make a schedule and keep of with the work!

week 14: Famous Last Words

This past week was all about studying. In between work, family,  and school, It was hard finding time to study but it was worth it. The only trouble I had last week was my molecular test. Anytime I take it, I feel like i do bad in it. However I think I can pull off a B in the class. This week was two of my friends birthday parties. Since I did not work Saturday, I decided to go back to Norman to study until the birthday party. I got a 6 or 7 hours in and helped a lot in preparing me for next week. That day I  worked on a presentation for my Spanish class. we got it done and finished. However, I left kind of irritated because my group did not really try. Someone said that they were getting a B no matter what so it did not really mater. The party started at 7. We ate johnny carinos before cutting the cake. It was a well need break. Just to chill and talk made my day a lot better. I left Norman late, so i did not get to church on time. instead I went home and put up Christmas lights. It went pretty smoothly and I got done in about two hours. Then I started to work on the Christmas tree.  The week went pretty well it nice coming back home and giving my parent a helping hand. Finals Week is coming up and this week is dead week. So all I am doing is Studying around the clock. I took of this weekend, so I could get some more time studying. Those extra 16  hours will go a long way. My presentation Is Monday afternoon so I just going over what I need to say.

week 14: Reading Feedback

The comic books were and interesting read. They provided a break from the typical style of reading text off a page. The picture helped paint a picture. If all stories came in the comic book form I think It be great. It helps us get a hold of what is going on. I spent around forty minutes on reading. Not really I just went on to read the comic book because I am fan of that particular style.

week 14: tech tip

One thing I would like to recommend is an app called Group me. It allowed us to communicate with others in the class and ask for help towards a group a people. It is basically texting that doe not use data  so it would save you some money too. We can communicate with others at times when we could not see them.

Week 14: Growth Mindset

As weeks now days count down to finals week, I  feel prepared for my finals. I think my study a week early paid off. I do not have to  study as much as do. However  I still need to study, so what I will do is study from 9-2 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 12pm to 12am on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Author's note: i decided to write about ed, edd, and eddy because it was my favortte show as kid. I felt like the jewel in the comic repersented a jawbreaker in the show. In the show, the parents were never fully shown. They were mysterious and perfect to use as the sun god. They faced many physocal conflicts like the characters in the comic that would cause the gem to exchange hands. I made the story a little more pg and wacky because that is how the show orginallt was.

Week 14: reading diary B

The story starts out with ,the sun god,  surya's prize pocession a gem . He gives it to man to keep but the man killed by lion. Jambavan then kills the lion and give the gen to his son as a gift. Krisna who knows the story has to fight for  the son's innocence. Once he proves that he did not kill the man that recieved surya's gem.  He is then given the gen along with jambavan daughter's hand in marriage after a fight with jambavan. The jewel is then transfered to satrijet who is murdered. Krishna then retrieves the gem again. The comic was good except one part. Surya's jewel went from person to person and when people were killed over it. This made it confusing on who had jewel and who wanted it.
