Week 13: curation

Using this link i tried to figure out who vikrim was. I did not know him and when i was reading Anu's story i wanted to learn more about the name vikrim.

I used this link to find out what animals are important to hinduism. Since the fables are very heavy on their use of personification on animals, i thought it would be a good idea to brush up on the some knowledge for my readings.

Week 13: Famous last words

Thanksgiving week was great. Sunday was intense. My group decided to do our molecular biology the day before it due. We all thought it was due Wednesday but it turns out Monday at 11:20 was the actual date.  I ended up  it working on it from 10:00pm to 5:30am. My group then took over the rest until 10:00am, We checked it and turned it in.  Monday and Tuesday were really fun. my first class Monday was cancelled which amazingly cancelled the same day that my project was due. The day went as it usually did and I went to the rest of my classes. Tuesday, i had one class and then I had an essay to proofread before i had to turn it in. Later that day after my essay was turned in my brothers and some of friends from Church came to visit. This week was the last week my uncle and aunt were staying with us before they left back to India. We have family thanksgiving at my house and my mom cooked the turkey while I cooked the ham. The house was packed and no one left until 12:00am. After that I had my last shift at converse from 3:00am to 12:00pm. it was a fun shift. Not many people came but I had never been so tired in my life. Working there was really nice and people there were really cool. After I got off, Immediately went home to get some sleep. I only got five hours before i woke up. I went black friday shopping then slept until 12pm. Friday was the last for my aunt and uncle here. I was way to tired to go to the airport with but i said my goodbyes. The ice "storm" hit my neighbor hood pretty hard but we had power.

Week 13: Reading Feedback

My selections was based on two things accessibility and interest. I picked the fables because after reading one it was really interesting. The stories were unlike anything I have ever read in epics. What I liked most was that each fable was different than the other. It kept the reading fresh. If i didn't like one, the next one was sure to better

week 13: Growth Mindset

So there is a huge challenge ahead of me finals week is coming.There is one class that has been a huge problem for me and that was molecular biology. The class has been killing me on tests and I still have not figured out  that class. I'm just going to study the book hardcore and past tests for the final. THe average test grade in the class has been around 68 and i have been scoring a good 75 in class. This test i think i got it under control if i get 4hrs a day.

Author's note:
I didnt have any ideas. My original ideas was to do a story about marriage but my.story did make any sense. The orginal  story is about a giant with five is killed by warrior. A dragon then appears and is slayed by the warrior.

Week 13: reading diary A

This week i read Devi.Fables and Folklore. I have not attempted to read any of indian fables yet but I actual did like them. Looking at the reading Guide, it looks like a lot of reading but the fables are fairly short and pretty interesting one of my favorites was actually the very first one. It was a just a really different  take of the reflection of eye. Something I noticed in these chapters was the animals like Elephants,rabbits, dogs, frogs, and rats  occurred quite frequently. Another story that i liked was Ratnakar, the robbery thief. Ratnakar was man who worshiped Kali. He becomes a better way after a man tells him how can his wife and family approve of sins that he is doing. After a conversation with his wife he becomes better man.
