Week 9: Famous Last Words

Until last week I have been keeping up with the workload for the class. However, this week I forgot to do story telling and ,not mention, I am behind in my project. I am planning on doing all the bonus this week so I can catch up and keep up with extra credit. These past weeks have been so busy. My uncle and aunt are living with me until November. So I have to give up my room because their in retirement I am their personal chauffeur ,on the weekends.Combine this and working around seventeen hours a week, Recently, Integris Baptist called me for an interview for a monitor tech job. The interview went well and I have high hopes for the job. This will be the first non retail place I have worked at and its my first legitimate step into the medical field. While I was waiting for my interview, I was kind of happy to see that I would be working a hospital. It was kind of way to show that goods times are on there way.  Not only that I have huge test in Molecular Biology on Wednesday and Spanish and Sociology test during the first week of November. Also we have to do a group poster assignment in my Spanish class and my group is not really responding to anything. The project is due Wednesday afternoon, so hopefully they will help.  It might sound weird but I love this chaos. Yeah sure my grades will take a small hit but I am always busy and never bored. Right now, My only focus is staying on track and organizing my time the best I can. I have tried agendas and everything under the sun to help me keep track of everything. Yet, I can not ever find anything that will get me into the habit or being more productive.

I have been using extensions to make my internet experience the best for me. From changing white backgrounds on pages to black or customizing your facvorite homepage it is really useful.

Week 9: Curation Spaces

So far we have just finished Mahabharata and like Ramayana,I found out it has its own online movie. Whenever, I read Mahabharata I got never get interested in the story like how I was with Ramayana. Watching this movie cleared up the book up a lot. Of course the movie missed parts here and there but that is not the point. The movie delivered the story Mahabharata in a great manner. I was interested the whole way. I even watched week 1 reading in one sitting without even noticing. Recently, I switched from writing my blogs in word to online word counter. It lets me know if I am using a certain word too much. Since I have not had a chance to write about it browser bookmarks. It helps me keep with the stories and storybooks I like.

Week 9: Growth Mindset

It had been a long time since I have done growth mindset , not to mention any extra credit work. I wanted to use this growth mindset as a way to reflect on myself and how to change. Recently, I began noticing the work quality not only in this class  but my other ones as well drop. So many things have been going on at home, work, and in school I am easy going and take a slow pace but its been a lot worse these last few weeks. Today I started to eat healthier and nightly jogging again. I wont feel a difference I just one day but ,hopefully, by next week I will pumped and full of energy.

Week 9: Reading Diary A

Peter Brook's movie Mahabharata reminds me of the old biblical movies about Moses and Jesus Christ. The movie starts out with Ganeesh, Valmikil, and a child. It starts off like the reading however instead Ganeesh reading its Valmikil. What i like most about this movie is that they did not try to get Indian actors. Coming from an Indian background, An Indian accent with English can sometimes be hard to understand. Using actors of various races makes it easier to listen too. There is one actor though I Think plays multiple parts or has a brother who also in the film. They incorporated the time skips well too using dialogue between Ganeesh and Valmikil to explain whats going on. Peter brooks stayed pretty close to the books rarely ever straying far from it. One example would be the scene of Valmikil, Krishna, and the child.  You can see many stories in Mahabharata being incorporated in the story. Like the gambling match around  1:21:43 when Draupadi is gambled away or around 2:41:25 you can see Draupudi worry about her life because Arjuna has become a dancer and the rest of her husbands are washing rice. One thing I did not like was that in some scenes that stayed consistent in the story should be done differently. There fight scenes where the aggressor would be talking while he is attacking. I think it would been better done if it was narrated so it did not look so awkward. I decided to stop at  2:45:00 because I accidentally went over the week 1A reading.
