Famous Last Words: Week 2

This week I didn't do so well on the assignments, I had to miss Tuesday and Wednesday assignment because my books didn't arrive on time. So I'm doing all the extra credit assignments to make up for it. However, I did finished the book Ramayana this morning. I finally got the book Wednesday and literally had to speed read because I had my Capstone book to finish. I'm glad Professor Gibbs posted the reading guides on her blog because the stories are kind of confusing, its the names that throw me off because some of them have two different names or they disguise themselves as someone else. I'm so thankful for those reading guides because they helped a lot.

There were a lot of interesting stories this week as I was commenting on people's blogs. Everyone is so creative with their stories and the pictures were fascinating. I saw some really good pictures on there and some of their blog layouts really fit the Indian Epics theme. I am intrigued by one story though, someone wrote a fairytale about Rama and Sita and I really enjoyed it, maybe because I'm a sucker for fairytales and Disney stories. Her story was very well written and was fluent in her writing. It was easier to read because of the way she wrote her story in such a nice and crisp way.

So far in my other classes, there are a lot of homework going on and readings. Endless and endless readings but that is how college is. In my capstone class, we just finished the book Time to Start Thinking by Edward Luce. This book is about the American economy and the challenges we are facing in our nation. The book is so pessimistic, but it really gave an eye opening view of how America is falling apart. Luce talks about the issues with middle class hollowing out, public education, money influence in Washington DC. I mean this book is like problems on top of problems. Anyways I don't want to get into details about politics especially those who are uninterested but reading this book and watching Obama's State of the Union Address was so shocking because it is literally two separate views.  If you are interested in politics, you have to read the book! However, all I can say is that this book is definitely not for those "cheerleaders" of America, but it is a different perspective on Luce's opinion about America.

(House of Cards, Netflix Series): House of Cards

Okay, so I posted this picture of House of Cards because I am absolutely obsessed with this show! I can't wait for Season 3 to come out... I mean Frank Underwood just gives me the chills! I don't want to say anymore about it because some people have not seen it and I advise you to!
