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.

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.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_(name)

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: Tech tip

A tech tip i would like to share is youtube! Im sure every knows what youtube is  but it can teach pretty cool things. Just in this class the movies about mahabharata, Sita sings the blues, and the calendar videos helped alot extreme. They help elaborate the story in different ways and teach us about the gods in an entertaining way

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.
