Week 8 Progress

Looking back I am proud that I have completed ever assignment thus far. I have a fairly good weekly routine, but sometimes things pop up and it really throws a wrench in the plan. I am really enjoying the writing assignments, it is a big change of pace compared to all my other classes that don't really have an option for a creative outlet. I am occasionally doing extra credit assignments, but not as much as I feel I should be doing, because some of them are really interesting!
In the 2nd part of this semester I hope to complete more extra credit assignments and really get ahead in the class. I would like to do more wikipedia trails, they are a lot of fun.

The best class I took last year was momentum, heat, and mass transfer. The professor was great and the material was very pertinent to the world around us. It was also a very satisfying class to take because it wrapped up all the things I had previously learned: chemistry, physics, and math into one interconnected topic. It was eye opening to see all the blocks fit into place and see how important math really is for modeling systems.       I am currently in the process of reading Dune , by Frank Herbert, but my favorite book/series to date is Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons . I plan to read the next insta...

Week 5 Story: Sita the Demon Queen

Creation of Maya Sita, Adhyatma Ramayana folio, Wikicommons Sita has been away from Rama for almost six months since she was kidnapped by the Demon King Ravana. For this entire duration Sita had not heard a word from Rama. Sita believed with all her heart that Rama would eventually come and save her from the abomination that was Ravana.  Day in and day out Sita would spend most of the day praying that Rama would come and save her. She would pray to Shiva, Vishnu, and even minor gods. Sita was desperate to have her prayers answered. Sita began to day dream that even if Rama did not come to save her that atleast someone strong and capable would come to conquer Lanka so she could get off this dreaded island.  Weeks started to pass freely and there was still no sign of her hero Rama or anyone for that matter. Doubt started to grow from within Sita.  "Could Rama just toss me aside for someone more fair?" she thought.  These dark thoughts started to flood her mind...
