Famous Last Words: A Look at Week 13


I’m still really enjoying reading other people’s writing! I don’t remember the exact person, but I read one today that was written just so well. The descriptions were so nice and everything was really thoughtfully done. I always feel like the best source for inspiration in writing is reading! It always makes me want to do better with my own work when I get to read good stories. I think what made their story so successful was the detail that they put into their descriptions. I could tell that they had put a lot of care into that particular piece. It was a joy to read.

I did a few revisions on my project for this last week. The original really didn’t explain things as well as I had liked, so I fixed it up a little bit. I always really enjoy being descriptive with my writing, but sometimes it’s difficult telling a large story with a word maximum. I’d like to find a happy medium in the future.

I think that I’m done with reading Mahabharata related materials for the remainder of the semester. I love it, but I’ve had my fill for the time being at least. For the next week, I’d like to maybe look more into myths or legends. I think that would be interesting to do. I remember finding a series on goddesses on the Epified channel that I might watch for the week. There’s so many topics to explore, I’d like to cover as many as I can, though there’s not much time left to do so. I’ll do what I can!

I’m glad that the semester is almost over. I’m tired! I’m ready for a break. That being said, I want to finish strongly in all of my classes and make sure that I’m putting in all of the effort that I need to do so!

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
