I just thought about how failure is the first step towards a success, and rolled with it until I found a word that let me say what I wanted. That just happened to be fish, and the words 'just keep swimming' come to mind.

Week 6 Story Planning: Fiery Acquistions

Image
In the Mahabharata, Arjuna's acquisition of Gandiva is very briefly mentioned. It was gifted to him from the god Agni, after he burned a forest with the aid of Krishna. They burned the forest for Agni for his own 'well-being,' as he needed the fats of the animals consumed in the inferno. That is more or less all the story has to offer of this incident. Looking further into the tale, I have found several extra details regarding Gandiva, Agni, and Arjuna. Gandiva is a mythical bow with 108 strings, one of them celestial in nature, that thundered when an arrow was loosed from it. With it, Arjuna defeated entire armies, before eventually relinquishing it when his fighting was done. Arjuna is son of Indra, and the reincarnation of Nara (Vishnu's companion). Also of particular interest to me is the fact that his chariot bore a banner of Hanuman, whom I've already had a bit of fun writing about. Apparently, Arjuna met Krishna (Vishnu) in the Khandava Vana, an...

Week 2 Story: The Alpaca and the Beasts

In days long past, there was a great and prosperous kingdom suddenly ravaged by drought and hardship. The once green fields had turned brown, and beasts prowled the countryside. Farmers fled from their herds, leaving for the safety of the keeps. For the beasts, oxen were tough to hunt, as they banded together in large groups for protection. A lone beast watched the largest herd and had a great idea, he would have the oxen voluntarily come with him alone. "Friends!" Exclaimed the beast as he boldly approached the herd. "Why are you staying here where the grass has died? There lies a lush meadow on the far side of the forest." "Come no further beast. We know of your kinds hunger." Proclaimed the largest of the bulls. "And why would we go through that forest; it holds the den of your brothers." "I have no hunger for oxen, your meat is too tough. I think only of your well being. As for my brothers, I know a path upon which they wont ...

Learning Challenge: Learn about sleep

Image
I picked an article that talks about how students sleep. What I learned is that we aren't nearly as deprived of sleep on average as people think. And generally speaking, students are getting an adequate amount of sleep. That is, until we get stressed. I'd like to explore more on how night owls maintain sleep, because the more I know about my own situation, the better I'll be able to manage my own sleep schedule. On a normal night, I go to bed around 2 or 3 A.M. and wake up around 9:30- 10:00. So I'm still getting around 7 hours of sleep. I plan on looking into this a little more tonight before I go to bed, to see what going to bed later means, and what effects it can have. ( link )
