Week 8 Reading and Writing

-
First of all I want to talk about how much I enjoyed the Ramayana. The plot had my attention right off the bat when introducing Ravana the demon with 10 faces. It truly gave me a sense of childhood from reading and watching mythological type books and shows respectively. I have no complaints from the Mahabharata because I enjoyed it very much so as well, but the Ramayana was definitely my favorite overall. When writing my reading notes I've taken an approach in summarizing as much as I could with the occasional opinion or two thrown in. Doing this has allowed me to not only get the gist of the epic, but also be able to code in my head what happened through my opinions.

When it comes to the story assignments, I feel the stories I've written have been good and creative on my part. However, I've missed several of the assignments I believe. This is simply from me being too ambitious with what I out on my plate this semester and is definitely something I need to provide more time for myself to complete in the future.

In the fall of 2019 I signed a lease to a rental house for the 2020-2021 school year. The lease began in the summer (June 1st to be exact), so that fall I decided to enroll in a course for that upcoming summer. I was already going to be living in Norman because of my lease, so I thought why not? While the dampers of 2020 were not known at the time, I could surely not "un-sign" my lease, and the class I enrolled in was an extremely important one for my major, so I followed through with my plan. Last summer I moved into the home I'm living in now and attended my first lecture of biochemistry. Going into the class I had no idea what to expect! What topics does biochemistry even cover? I knew it was very important that I not only earned my A, but that I truly retained the information taught to me. Along with my major I'm pre-med, which essentially means I'm going to have to take the MCAT at some point in order to be accepted into medical school. Having a good foundati

https://sites.google.com/view/prestontaylorportfolio/home?authuser=0 - Latest story is here at this link. Marion after he wins the battle to take Princess Peach back.  Pixy.org Note: I wanted to do a little run-off of the Ramayana but with different characters. In one of my previous blog posts I talked about how much the Ramayana reminded me of the basic Super Mario Bros. story. It's really simply because of how Peach and Sita both get captured and the other husband/fiancé had to come in to save his loved one. I hope you enjoyed!
