Week 8 Progress

-
Looking back, I am happy with the progress I have made throughout this half of the semester. My schedule each week is drastically different because of organizations, other classes, and friends, so I still don't really have a "weekly routine". I prefer to do as many assignments I can and get ahead whenever I have time to, so I don't have to worry about then when I'm short on time. I think this method has been the best method in keeping me on track and finishing my assignments. I originally favored the reading assignments, but I've almost started to enjoy the storybook projects more ever since I decided what I wanted my topic to be. I try my best to take advantage of every extra credit assignment every week, this has been SO helpful for me to keep my grades up and be able to miss an assignment without worrying about the impact it will have on my grade. I am looking forward to getting further in my storybook project and begin writing my stories during the second half of the semester. Every year in the spring time, I starting losing motivation as the semester gets closer to ending. I hope I avoid those feelings and maintain the same motivation, if not more, that I've had for the first half of the semester.

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
