Famous Last Words: Exam Weeks

-
This week I really enjoyed the reading and managed to complete both readings on time and catch up from last week. I fell behind in Week 3, so I didn't want to stay behind this week. Part D of the Ramayana was my favorite reading so far. I felt like I was more interested during the reading compared to how I had been in the past, probably because it had the most action and turning points of the readings. I liked the story I wrote this week, but I'm still working on strategies to get into mindset to write stories. I feel like it takes me awhile to be able to get into a good work flow when it comes to writing stories. I read someone's story about Rama and Sita earlier that used amazing detail, adjectives, and literary devices that really brought the story to life. I really enjoyed reading their story and their writing style, so I might try to implement some of those strategies into my writing. I have exams in all my classes this and next, but I enjoy being able to use this class to take a break from my other classes during study sessions. With so much going on with classes right now, I haven't had anything going on outside of school. For this next week, I hope I want to work harder to finish my assignments before the weekend starts. I find myself procrastinating assignments until Sunday, then I spend all of Sunday doing homework. I also want to get ahead of my assignments in this class, so I can eventually finish early. I said that in Week 2 then ended up missing half the assignments in Week 3. After playing catch-up this week though, I don't wanna fall behind again.

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
