However, I really enjoyed the readings in Indian Epics this week. I read two comics - "Kubera: The Lord of Wealth" and "Heroes of Hampi: The Mythology of Kishkindha". The Kubera comic is going to help me a ton with my storybook as I am focusing on Lanka and Vishvakarma in my storybook. The Heroes of Hampi comic was very interesting and I ended up learning a lot about geography in India, and actually learned a little to help with my storybook in the Hampi comic as well.
My best writing in the past week was definitely an appeal with PMAP for revising a rule that they have instituted that hinders research, and I am excited to get to meet with PMAP tomorrow to further discuss this rule. They have been understanding and willing to work with engineering competition teams and I think they'll do what's best for the teams. However, this writing was not creative, and I am finding that I struggle to switch between technical writing and creative writing.
I read a story in this class this week that told a story using a diary to convey emotions. I had not considered writing a diary entry in the past, but the story was great and I am now considering writing a diary entry story in the future.
Unfortunately, I did not make it to writing a Week 5 story for this week. I got to it late Thursday night, and I was not able to think of a story in time. However, I'm not overly worried because I completed the readings and an extra credit assignment, so I should be fine. I am appreciative of the flexibility and extra credit in this class - it allows me to maximize my learning on my busy schedule.

Hi Marshall, how is Concrete Canoe? I know it is the civil engineering project team but I'm not too familiar with any specifics! I know the Sooner off-road team is attempting to finish up all their stuff as well! I may have to take a look at those comics because Lanka plays a main role in my storybook as well!
ReplyDeleteHold up, hold up. A canoe made out of concrete? Concrete? Not to sound incredibly dumb or anything, but will that thing actually float? It looks like a beast that is heavier than lead, which is impressive I must say.
ReplyDeleteI know those weeks where you just don't get everything done that you wanted to. That seems to happen to me a lot lately. Working full time and going to school is a challenge. Your plate sounds unbelievably full, so my hat is off to you for getting as much done as you do.
Hey Marshall,
ReplyDeleteI totally understand what you mean about having busy weeks. There were multiple week I never made it to doing my reading or writing a story. Three weeks ago I literally just decided to skip a full week. It was not a good idea because now I am frantically typing to try and get all of those points back. I hope everything is still working out for you.
