Famous Last Words for Week 10

SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE.  And the Oklahoma weather is proudly reflecting that fact.  It has been absolutely beautiful this weekend and even though I have spent most of it working on homework... I have gotten to slightly enjoy my homework since I worked on it outside in the sun :) 

I survived this past week of school and turned in multiple huge assignments!  And I believe that I did really well on my 20 minute Spanish presentation and my 20 page paper.  (Is 20 my lucky number for assignments?  I hope not.) 

Unfortunately, this week I also watched OU and the Thunder lose both of their games, which means OU's season ended during the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament while the Thunder's season might as well be over since practically every member of the team is battling an injury. 

I'm getting closer and closer to finishing this online class.  I'm glad I got a head start at the beginning of this class to get me ahead of the game.  So who knows how many more of these posts that I'll do because I might not need the points!  This past week I finished up the second addition to my storybook and I'm conflicted on where to end it.  When I get it completely finished I'll be sure to post the link to it on this blog. 

Anyways, besides schoolwork (I feel like school is the only thing I talk about in these posts, but that just reflects how much it dominates my life) I went out with my friends and had a great time running into people on Campus Corner.  All my friends and I are finally 21!  So we have been having a lot more fun lately :) We also went out to celebrate my roommate getting accepted into Nursing School.  So hooray!

Week 10 Reading B: The War Begins

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts from pages 133-179 of The Mahabharata retold by R.K. Narayan. 

• I hate Duryodhana.  He is the new Ravana. 
• Is that really supposed to make a mother feel better?  Don't worry I'll only attack one of your sons.  
• NOOOOOOOO. Bhishma.  Dang it Arjuna fight honorably.  
• Oh Krishna sneaky sneaky.  Reminds of a scene in the movie Hocus Pocus where they trick the witches into thinking it's sunrise by shining car lights through the window.  
• So I guess invincible weapons break after one use?
• For Krishna who first wanted to make peace before the war, he's fighting dirty.  
• Woah Bhima.  Early vampire?  
• Should've listened to Krishna.  He is merciless.  
• Does Krishna get karma for lying and killing everyone?!
• Moral of the story: Never kill ANY animals. 
• Well.  I guess being killed because you were mistaken for an animal is the perfect karma.

Week 10 Reading Diary A: Duryodhana's Embarrassment

This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts from pages 85-131 of The Mahabharata retold by R.K. Narayan.  

• How exactly is Duryodhana trying to embarrass the Pandavas?  By making a royal camp?  I can think of worse things.  
• WHAT IS WITH THIS STORY AND DEER?
• See the deer led them to the water.  Just leave deer alone and you won't die.  
• Gift of unrecognizability?  I'm guessing this will turn out bad because it is their 13th year of exile and that's unlucky.  
• Why is Draupadi not in disguises with them?  She's part of the family!
• There is just way too many characters to keep track of in this story…
• It seems whatever the Pandavas try and do they never seem to succeed at…
