Wikipedia Trail from Moche to Marinera

Moche Culture

I first saw a statue on the twitter page that was carved in the shape of an owl. The tweet said, "Moche, Vessel in the Form of an Owl Impersonator." It caught my eye because I have never heard of "Moche" before, so I thought, why not!

Moche, Trujillo

So I learned Moche is a culture and also a city. But, the Moche were once a civilization north of Trujillo, which is a capital city. Peru?! I love Peru, I've never been though, so I kept digging and decided to click on Moche, Trujillo. 

Trujillo, Peru

So, the past cite about Moche taught me about really the location and history of Moche, but not it's part of a tourist city of Trujillo. I've always wanted to go to Machu Picchu one day, which is in Peru as Trujillo is. So, maybe I can visit Trujillo one day also.

Marinera

While all the geography was cool, I wanted more! What was Trujillo and Moche really like? Well, Marinera helped out with that question, as it is a romantic dance between one and the significant other.

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

Week 3 Story: Super Mario Bros

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!
