Week 8 Progress

Looking Back- I'm happy with my progress so far. I do know I missed a couple of assignments, but I'm still at an A, so I'm fine. I'm going to be done with two of my courses this week which will give me more time to get ahead in this class, which is about what I expected from the beginning. At the beginning, I said that I'd do assignments on MWF, but as it turns out, I have so much free time at work, I just do it TR. It makes it easier, but it does give me less time sometimes. I'm happy with the schedule I have though.

Looking Forward- Because I'm only going to be in three courses following midterms, I don't really see any problems. My hardest part of the semester was the first half because my other online courses were WAY more involved than this one. I should have more time to devote to my writing assignments. I hope to see a quality jump there!

Introduction to a Dolly Parton Fanatic

As someone who writes frequently, I find it difficult to write about myself, but I will do my best! My name is pronounced like ‘Riley’ and I’m a criminology major. My most frequently asked question is, “Do you want to be a cop?” Nope! Having studied the criminal justice system so intensely, I’ve decided I’d rather not have a career in it. I’d rather teach or do social work. I’d also be fine doing independent studies of some sort. I love sociology. I think it’s so, so important in today’s political climate that we tackle social problems with care. As much as I love talking about my major, it can be a tad heavy at times. When I’m not trying to save the world, I like to research people. My two favorites happen to be similar in many respects, Dolly Parton and Billy the Kid, western icons. Dolly and I share the same birthday and I feel we are linked somehow because of this. Coming from poverty and being able to create such an empire for herself, I just think she’s rema

Week 9 Story: The Best Archer

Image
A trail of crimson ran down Ekalavya’s hand and onto the dirt. The boy used his free hand to apply pressure to the new wound, his thumb now missing. Drona looked down at Ekalavya, stone-faced, as emotionless as he could be. He was mildly surprised that the young archer had completed such a serious request with no refusal. When asked to cut off his right thumb, listened to the words of his teacher, someone he had not even trained with in person, and did what was asked of him.             “What a shame,” Ekalavya said to himself, quietly.             Drona raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”             Ekalavya looked up at the taller man, his deep brown eyes brimming with tears. Drona assumed the tears were in relation to the pain of losing a thumb in a brutal fashion. “I could’ve been great. You know that, right?” Ekalavya paused, wincing in pain as he shifted his hand slightly. “I had been practicing so hard too.”             “I can tell. That’s why this
