Week 8 Progress

Looking at my current progress, I seem to be a small bit ahead, which is great! I have been managing to finish almost every assignment so far at least a couple of days before they are due, so I would say I have a good routine. Out of everything, I think I enjoy the readings the most. They are entertaining as well as informative about mythology and culture. Reading what we have so far also gives me something more productive to do than scroll through social media while riding the Lloyd Noble shuttle to and from campus. I have been making some use of the weekly extra credit but not as much as I should. I tell myself at the beginning of every week that I should do them, and then I don't.

For the second half of the semester, I want to take greater advantage of the weekly extra credit and try to work further ahead than I have been managing before. While I enjoy being able to take things at a kind of leisurely pace, it would also be nice to try to finish a couple of weeks early.

    Welp, I guess that's a thought! I definitely am one that always scrolls through social media accounts on the Lloyd Noble bus. But you're right, reading for this class would be much more productive!
    Also, I'm right there with you on planning to do extra credit then by the end of the week I'm like "ehhh, next week?"
    But yes, finishing a few weeks early would definitely be worth doing extra credit when given time!

Introduction to a Tech-Savvy, Overly Caffeinated, Artsy, Green Thumb

Image
Hi, there! My name is Molly. I am a third year Computer Science major at the University of Oklahoma.   Image of Bizzell Memorial Library on the University of Oklahoma campus Web Source: Wikipedia Commons   So first of all, I am not good at coming up with titles. Second, I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is to describe myself as "tech-savvy," but I couldn't think of a better way to put it. As stated before, I am a Computer Science major, so I know how to program in languages like Java and C++. In the years before college when school was still free, I also learned a bit about mobile application and game development. I'm not much of a fan in terms of dealing with hardware, but a year or two ago someone gave me a Raspberry Pi 2, a small but malleable computer, which I was finally able to work on over the summer and turn into a small media box.

Week 11 Story: In Pursuit of a Jewel

Image
Bhama crept through the shadows. She was currently tailing her uncle, Prasenajit, while he was traveling to another country. Recently her father, Satrajit, claimed that he had acquired a jewel known as the Syamantaka from the Sun God that would give him fifty measures of gold per day. Bhama did not doubt the power of this jewel, but she did doubt her father's story of its origin. She knew he must have stolen it at some point while he had gone to visit those aboriginal people in the forest. Her uncle borrowed it because it also has the power to protect its holder from the dangers of the forest. She followed him now in hopes to recover it and return the jewel to its rightful owners. Suddenly a lion burst out from the brush in front of Prasenajit. He squealed in terror. "B-b-back y-you b-b-beast!" he yelled. He thrust the jewel out in front of him in the direction of the lion. It snarled and prowled around him in a circle. Prasenajit's legs were shaking wildly and unco...
