Week 9: Famous Last Words

This week was pretty hectic and since Spring Break started I've been busy doing other things and catching up on the rest of my homework for this class.

Today Spring Break is officially over and classes start tomorrow. The month of April is going to be crazy since every single class I am taking require at least a research paper and they are all due in April. I better start on them. I also have a second midterm this week and I am not prepared since I have been out of town for Spring Break. Sometimes I don't understand why teachers assign homework during the break. It's like enjoy the break but not really because you have to study. On the bright side, school will be done in about a month and I am finally graduating! Now the scary part is I have to find a job and a new place to move into... my summer is going to be busy with applying jobs and looking for a new apartment.

So far in Indian Epics class I've been a little behind on my project because there were some grammar issues in my stories. I keep getting my past and present tense mixed up and so the revising on one of my stories took forever. I need to do some more extra credit to make up for it.

However, looking through all the projects in the class a lot of people did a wonderful job on their stories. There were some unique storybooks and portfolios that I really enjoyed reading. Some people had small grammar issues but I can't really criticize since I have the same problem as well. There was this one storybook I thought was interesting because whoever made it added videos and the theme was for children. It was called Ganesha's children or something like that and I thought it was such a clever and cute idea!

I've been reading the Elite Daily a lot outside of school reading. The articles are pretty interesting and fun to read. One of the articles I read was called something a long the lines of The Power of Negative Thinking? I think that was the title but I don't really remember, it was basically describing how pessimist people can actually see reality better than those who are optimistic. Pessimists are better prepared for what is ahead of them because they see the worst situation possible while optimists feel safe in their environment and sometimes can be oblivious to certain situations.
