My Favorite Place

New York City 

 I've been able to visit New York City two separate times and have had completely different experiences both times. The first time I visited was during the holidays with my mother and the city was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We saw shows on Broadway and went site seeing, getting a full experience of the city. My second trip was with a close friend from Connecticut. Since she had always gone into the city as she was growing up, she knew all the best places to go. My second visit felt more authentic compared to my first trip when I was mainly touring the city. On both visits I fell in love with the diversity and fast-pace of New York City.

    New York City is FABULOUS, Clara: my favorite part is the museums! I like looking at paintings and sculpture and all kinds of art online... but being able to see the actual art in person is such a great experience. My goal for next New York City visit will be New York Public Library... I use their resources online a lot, and now I really want to "meet" the Library in person someday! :-)

    I went to New York in High School and it was incredible. It is not my cup of tea, but it was still awesome. I remember it was snowing and that was magical. I want to go back some day and spend a bit more time exploring. Awesome post!

Week 7 Story: Mahabharata Family Tree

The Mahabharata narrates the rivalry between the two groups of cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, whose family drama ensues an all-out war. The Mahabharata all begins with the birth of Vyasa – wait, does it begin there or before him? He’s not even a Pandava or Kaurava, is he? Okay, I’m going to figure out this family tree first.  Mahabharata family tree ( Wikipedia ) We’ll start with Satyavati, who was born from a fish and a king. Making her half-fish and half-woman. So that makes her a mermaid, right? No wait, I think she was a human woman who just smelled like fish. Okay so, she was raised by a fisherman and meets Parashara, a rishi who takes away her fishy smell in exchange for embracing him. This trade left her with a beautiful scent and a son, Vyasa. Next, there is King Shantanu, son of King Kuru. Shantanu’s first wife was the goddess Ganga. Together, they had like seven or eight kids, but she kept throwing them into the Ganges. For obvious reasons, this upse

Introduction to Clara

Hi everyone, my name is Clara Pianalto. I'm a junior and a Biochemistry Pre-med major here at OU. My favorite thing about my major is working in labs, which is funny because this was my least favorite thing about my major for awhile, but over the years I've grown to love the experiments. My friends and I began having so much fun during lab that we would constantly take pictures of our experiments and reactions. A picture of one the reactions from lab.  I originally only chose this major because someone said it will benefit me when taking the MCAT for medical school. Luckily, I realized I genuinely enjoy chemistry and science classes through my major. My long term goal is to get accepted into a medical school and become a doctor. Outside of school, I'm involved in a couple of organizations on campus. I'm a member of Greek life and also involved in Relay for Life, an organization on campus that raises money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. I joined Re
