Week 8 Reading and Writing

I am actually quite proud of the blog and website that I have created so far. Every reading and writing assignment has gone pretty smoothly. I've impressed myself so far with my ability to write creatively because prior to this class most of my writing (possibly all of my writing) has been research-based. I have had a hard time motivating myself to do all of the commenting assignments, but the reading and writing assignments have been very enjoyable. My favorite reading so far has definitely been the Ramayana. I found it much more engaging than the Mahabharata although both were interesting reads. Moving forward I want to try to get more ahead with my assignments and be more consistent so that I don't have to do big chunks of work all at once. I would have to say that my story "Abduction" about Pennywise has got to be my favorite story that I have written so far.

This is probably my favorite image that I have used so far. It looks exactly how I imagined this scene would look and I think it's very cool.

Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Reading Notes: Epified - Mahabharata Part F

Ep 48 - Krishna Meets the Pandavas News about the defeat of the Pandavas in the gambling match made it to Krishna. He left to meet the Pandavas in the forest. He was upset that he hadn't been available to help the Pandavas because he was protecting Dwarka. Krishna urged the Pandavas to fight the Kauravas and take back their kingdom. They did not agree. The reason Krishna was not able to be there for the Pandavas is that Dwarka was being attacked by King Shalva. Krishna ended the war when he used his Sudarshan Chakra to decapitate Shalva. Ep 49 - Arjun Receives Shiva's Weapon Krishna blesses the Pandavas and promises his allegiance. The Pandavas were struggling with little resources. Many sages came and gave them knowledge while living in the forest. Ved Vyasa came to visit the Pandavas. He told Arjun that he needed to acquire Indra's and Shiva's celestial weapons in order to win the war. Arjun left for the Himalay...
