Famous Last Words: Week 15

Outside of School
My wife and I have tirelessly been working on getting ready to move while still going to school and working 30 hours a week. I have to say that packing and preparing for a move takes a lot more time than I thought. The one thing that I didn't expect is to simply not know what to do next. We live in apartment and are crammed as it is, so it makes it difficult to pull everything out and into boxes when we don't have much extra space to begin with. And even though we will be moving into a nicer apartment, it will be smaller than our current one, so we will see if we have thrown out enough stuff to be able to fit in our new apartment. I'm not a person that gets stressed very often, but I have to say that I am pretty stressed because of everything that is going on. I just have to keep going! I can almost see the finish line for so many things, so I just have to keep my eye on the prize.

Other People's Writings
Most of the semester, I have been reading the writings and stories from the Indian Epics class. It has been interesting to be able to read stories about Mythology instead of about the Epics of India. The stories tend to take a different tone than our class's stories simply due to the fact that they have different subjects that they are writing about.

Famous Last Words: Week 14

Readings this Week
This week I actually didn't do any of the readings. Oops! It may or may not be because I have enough points to get an A, so there isn't much to say on this topic.

Best Writing this Week
I also failed to do the storytelling this week, but I was able to edit my story in my storybook. I had some bad information about Shiva. He is considered the Destroyer, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he kills things. He is often known to provide wisdom and a better understanding of spiritual reality. It was good to clear that up and fix it in my story.

My Other Classes
I am officially done with my Field Project class and only have one paper do finish to be done with my Gender and James Bond Class! I have to say that it feels good. I'm also lucky because I only have 2 finals this year even though I am in 5 classes, so I was really happy when I found that out! This is my last semester before graduation, and it is finally starting to feel like it!

Outside of School
My wife and I took an impromptu trip to Tulsa to visit her family, and that is where I currently am. It has been a good weekend to get away and forget about the last week of school for a couple days. The only problem is I had a take home quiz, a project, a presentation to prepare for, and homework in this class, so I couldn't really forget about my classes for very long

Famous Last Words - Week 13

Readings

I am watch the Mahabharata movie this week and it is actually pretty interesting. I feel like watching the movie gives more defined characters. The actors have personalities and quirks which gives an interesting interpretation to characters that I have already read about. It also makes you notice details about their actions and reasoning that you normally wouldn't catch if you were just reading the story.

My Best Writings for This Week

I have had to prepare a presentation which only goes well if you plan out what you are going to say beforehand. I won't be reading anything off of a piece of paper, but writing well thought out, descriptive sentences will help me to explain better during the presentation.

My Other Classes

My MIS Field Project class is actually finishing up this week, so it will be really nice to only have to worry about 4 classes for the remaining few weeks of the semester. It will also give me more time to put into this class because I'll just say that I need do get all the points that I can in order to get the grade that I want! I do have a lot of upcoming projects that are due as well, so it is definitely at the crunch time of the semester. Almost there!

Outside of School

My wife and I are super excited to move the week after the semester is over. We just got the exact apartment that we were looking for, and we are excited to get a new puppy (a Shiba Inu!), start my new job, be a little closer to our parents' houses, and live in an apartment where the floors don't squeak with every step you take. Basically we are ready for this semester to be over. We have enjoyed living here in Norman, but we are ready to start the next chapter in our lives.
