Week 8: Progress

  • Looking Back: So far, I am not super thrilled with my progress. I think I am still in a position to finish with an A, but I am not where I need to be. This is a class where all I really need is a C, its just a Gen. Ed. class to get me my diploma, but I would really like the A. My weekly routine is pretty good as long as work doesn't get in the way. It seems like the past few weeks there is always an assignment that I miss, but waking up at 4 am every morning makes it difficult to remember some things (at the end of most days I am so relieved to see my bed I can't think straight). I plan on utilizing the extra credit opportunities in the next few weeks so I think that will give me a boost.
  • Looking Forward: I certainly need to start making some serious changes for the second half of the semester (first off, ITS ALREADY THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEMESTER????). Buckling down and getting all of the assignments done for that week is key. Extra credit is also something that I plan on utilizing a lot more this half of the semester. 
My motivation for this half

Introduction to a future who-knows-what

My name is Taylor Blackwell, and this is my introduction post. I am a Religious Studies major in my last semester. One of the coolest things about my major is that it is a unique way of learning about people. I am not religious myself, but religion tends to be the thing that determines how people live their lives. It can determine how people act, dress, talk, who they interact with, how they raise their children (how many children they have), how they spend their money, how they vote, the list goes on and on. So, for me, learning about religion is a different way of learning about people and how they operate. The best class I took last semester was my Capstone class. Our project was to write our own gospel and it was a lot of fun. I took a creative approach to my gospel and it was the first time that I have ever had to write creatively; everything before that was just academic writing so it was a great experience. During most school breaks I don’t do anything very exciting, b

Week 7 Story: King Yudhisthira's Horse

Image
Horse O' War: King Yudhisthira's Horse leading Arjuna into Battle The story that I am about to tell you is one that has yet to be told in its original context. By now you are well aware of the story of the moon-white horse with a plate of gold strapped to its head. You know, the one that the army of Arjuna followed for a year, conquering rajah after rajah? Well, there are several very important aspects of that story that all but a very few are unaware of.  For starters, it may seem that the horse had very little to do with the many victories that Arjuna experienced, for I am just a simple horse, wandering around the land. That is where you are wrong.  But, it is not your fault as the reader, it is more my fault for keeping such a low profile in this story for so many centuries. Who am I, you might be asking? Well, let me tell you. I am Skanda, the firstborn son of Shiva, and the god of war, and during these particular events told in The Mahabharata I was stru
