Learning Challenge: Review your schedule

Hey All!

Definitely getting a better handle on my schedule now that we are into the 7th week of classes. I have definitely been taking advantage of the extra credit opportunities more this time around than when I had taken Indian Epics. I have looked back a couple of times on how I had originally planned out my schedule for this class, but as I have figured out how to do my assignments for other courses, I have revised my schedule for this class. I typically work on my blog comments throughout the week and then complete the quizzes once I have completed all the feedback comments and blog comments. Majority of the assignments I complete over the weekend and start partially working on the next week's assignments.

Starting this week actually, I want to try to complete my project assignment before the weekend, but sometimes by quizzes and homework assignments during the week always have me pushing the project assignment to be completed on Friday or Saturday night.

Here's a picture of Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast, whom I sometimes imagine is my clock in my house:)

South Africa: The Monkey's Fiddle by James Honey


- Hunger and want force the monkey to move...finds shelter with uncle
- worked and wanted to return home..received: fiddle and a bow and arrow and told him that with the bow and arrow he could hit and kill anything he desired, and with the fiddle he could force anything to dance.
- encountered Brer Wolf and killed a deer for meal
- wolf becomes jealous and wants the bow..monkey says no
- Jackal comes and wolf spins a story saying that the monkey stole his bow and arrow
- "The fiddle was still at Monkey's side, and he received as a last favor from the court the right to play a tune on it. He was a master player of his time, and in addition to this came the wonderful power of his charmed fiddle. Thus, when he struck the first note of "Cockcrow" upon it, the court began at once to show an unusual and spontaneous liveliness, and before he came to the first waltzing turn of the old tune the whole court was dancing like a whirlwind."
- "I do not want it," answered Monkey, "but withdraw the sentence and give me my bow and arrow, and you, Wolf, acknowledge that you stole it from me."
- everyone is now afraid and disperses

Week 5 Review

This week's video I watched a Mindset Video. She shared some thoughts from the perspective of evolutionary biology: mental 'deficits' are hidden strengths.
- There is not a perfect definition, there is variation that exists in so many aspects. She used students who are very high on the Autism spectrum as an example to show that these students are able to see things that an average person might not be able to. They are able to pick on trends that others may not able to pick up on as well as there ability to process data. 


My favorite picture on the 7 day feed way this one. Oh it brings back so many memories. Nowadays many of the bangris are actually metal, rather than glass because on easy to put them on without the extra caution. Also, love the detail of the henna, this past winter I had also got henna done. I am a big fan of bangels, they really do make your outfit look so much better! 

Learning Challenge: YOGA!!

The article I read for the Learning my H.E.A.R.T assignment was 6 Yoga Exercises You Won’t Be Embarrassed to Do at Your Desk by Linda Steinberg

Some of the exercises I already do are the neck stretch, shoulder rolls, and chair twist..I am going to start incorporating the twisted arms, reverses prayer pose, and open chest stretch into my deskercizes. It really can be taxing on my neck and shoulder when I am studying or working on schoolwork on my laptop. Sometimes I really wish there was something created would hold a paper version of a textbook in front of me rather than me having to be bent over all the time to read a textbook so I can highlight easily. 

Reverse Prayer Pose
Seems a bit tough but definitely think I can do it...


Growth Mindset: Challenge: Make a Mindset Motto or Mantra

Take a deep breath, because slow and steady win the race is something I started saying to myself when I was preparing for my first college exam. I was studying constantly and afraid that I would forget everything once I got to the exam and was constantly stressed. My parents would tell me form time to time that stress will have an effect on my health. The weird thing is that I tend to feel more stressed and bundled in tension for all my science exams and I always repeat to myself take a deep breath, you've got this, slow and steady....

Tech Tip: Canvas Calendar

Hey all!

So as we're getting further into the semester I definitely have a better idea of how my schedule is working. I hate that I always struggle to figure out a schedule I can stick to right from the beginning, but hey you know you learn as you progress right? Now that we are in week 5, I have such a better understanding of my schedule and time management. Time management is so crucial to maintain a balance between physical and mental health as well as personal care. As you all can tell I tend to be the overachiever by nature and sometimes that can carve into my personal time that I have set aside, but having a calendar to keep me accountable and remind me of due dates helps me tremendously. I imported the Canvas Calendar for this class into my Mac calendar and I love that I get due date reminders the day before and the day of. For example, for this class buckle down and do majority of the work Friday and Saturday mornings and do the blog comments throughout the week. Additionally, I work ahead on the reading notes, so definitely winning in that aspect. Okay, back to time management, the calendar on my desktop definitely keeps accountable on for my time. I definitely plan my personal care hours into my calendar and then schedule anything fun I would like to do with friends.

Reading Notes: Ramayana, Part A

Ramayana: The Birth of Rama by Donald A. Mackenzie

Valmiki invented poetry and through that and the order of Brahma he wrote the Ramayana. 

- Now the capital of Kosala was Ayodhya, which shone in splendour like to Indra's celestial city; it had wide streets with large dwellings, richly decorated temples, towering like mountains, and grand and noble palaces.<-- lots of imagery to envision the city and the people
- The city of Ayodhya was full of prosperous and happy people.
- King Dasharatha
Ruler of the kingdom of Koshala
strong and powerful, loved by his people
life of sorrow, no sons from any of the three wives
King of Solar dynasty
resolved to perform the Aswamedha (horse sacrifice)
An oblation was afterwards offered to the gods, who came to the place of sacrifice with the music-loving Gandharvas, the Celestial saints, the Siddhas, and seven Deva-rishis....the gods promise that 4 sons will be born
- Brief mention on Ravana and his boon...Vishnu divides himself among the 4 sons to combat Ravana.

Jataka Tales: The Elephant and the Dog by Ellen C. Babbitt

This story reminded of a film I watched a couple of years ago, maybe y'all remember it, but it is about a horse and a dog that become best friends and share every meal together as well. When the horse becomes sick the dog is there to comfort him. 

Quick notes about the story: 
- Love how the story encompasses two best friends not based on size, type of creature, or anything else. 
 
Some of my favorite quotes with powerful meanings:
- Day after day the Dog went to the stable, waiting around for bits to eat. But by and by the Elephant and the Dog came to be great friends. Then the Elephant began to share his food with the Dog, and they ate together. When the Elephant slept, his friend the Dog slept beside him. When the Elephant felt like playing, he would catch the Dog in his trunk and swing him to and fro. Neither the Dog nor the Elephant was quite happy unless the other was nearby.
- The king's Elephant missed the Dog and did not care to eat when his friend was not there to share the food. When the time came for the Elephant to bathe, he would not bathe. The next day again the Elephant would not eat, and he would not bathe. The third day, when the Elephant would neither eat nor bathe, the king was told about it.
- When the farmer who had bought the Dog heard this, he turned him loose. The Dog ran back as fast as ever he could go to the Elephant's stable. The Elephant was so glad to see the Dog that he picked him up with his trunk and put him on his head. Then he put him down again.
- When the Elephant-keeper brought food, the Elephant watched the Dog as he ate, and then took his own food. <-- This quote is so powerful in the sense that it shows how much the Elephant cares about the Dog, reminded me so much of how my mom looks at me after I come home from a long day.

Reading Notes: Jakarta Tales, Part A

Hey All!

The King's White Elephant from Jataka Tales by Ellen C. Babbitt

- One day while they were at work an Elephant came limping on three feet to them. He held up one foot and the carpenters saw that it was swollen and sore. Then the Elephant lay down and the men saw that there was a great splinter in the sore foot. They pulled it out and washed the sore carefully so that in a short time it would be well again.
- Now this Elephant had a son who was white all over — a beautiful, strong young one. Said the old Elephant to himself, "I will take my son to the place in the forest where I go to work each day so that he may learn to help the carpenters, for I am no longer young and strong."
- The white Elephant did as his father told him to do and helped the carpenters and they fed him well.
- One day the king came down the river and saw this beautiful white Elephant working for the carpenters. The king at once wanted the Elephant for his own and paid the carpenters a great price for him. Then with a last look at his playmates, the children, the beautiful white Elephant went on with the king.

Storybook Plan

Hello there!

When I was reading through the last part of this week's project assignment, I realized I had actually answered majority of the bulleted items in my last week's project research post.

Just to recap:
- I decided to do a Storybook!
- I think the storybook will be a great way for me to bring the the Greek Heroines and let my readers know of their importance, origins, and what all they did and stood for
- I will be referring to theoi.com
- I think the overarching theme will be displaying the female strength in various forms.
- I want to almost make it in the form of bedtime stories, imagining that these are stories I might tell my niece or nephew
- I don't want to limit myself on the story style, but I am leaning more towards bedtime story style rather than stories geared for adults...

So this is easier for me I hope you don't mind I took your email from week 3 and added this week 4 material on, so that I have all my comments on one page. The comments in red are for this week.


I would like to know what their origins were (i.e. parents, the city they were born in, who they married, any children) and focus the stories on what made them the heroines rather than just another average Greek. I would like to have the stories in a first-person view and be descriptive of the challenges they faced and connect two or three heroines in some way. For example, I might do a first-person narrative of Penelope and her struggles during her wait for Odysseus.

==> first-person perspective sounds great! you might be interested in this ancient experiment by the poet Ovid, where he imagined some famous Greek heroes writing letters to the heroes; it's called the Heroides (which is Greek for "heroines"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroides ... and here is an English translation online: https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/Heroideshome.php#highlightheroides

I looked into the Heroides and could not find ones that related to the heroines I am thinking of writing stories about. 

I want to focus my stories on:

Atalanta:
Atalanta was an Arkadian heroine--a huntress and a favourite of the goddess Artemis.
Atalanta swore to defend her virginity and when two Kentauroi (Centaurs) burst into her grove, she slew them with arrows. She later took part in the voyage of the Argonauts and defeated the hero Peleus in wrestling at the funeral games of King Pelias.
The heroine reluctantly agreed insisting that a suitor must defeat her in a race and that the losers be put to death. Melanion--or Hippomenes--however, sought the help of the goddess Aphrodite who provided him with three golden apples to cast before the girl in the race.
neglected to pay Aphrodite her dues. She cursed him and he was compelled to lie with his wife in the sacred precinct of Zeus, Rhea or Artemis where an offended deity transformed them into lions.

==> Atalanta is AWESOME, and as you can see there are so many different dimensions to her story; you can choose the episode(s) from her life to include in your story based on what you think are the most important aspects of her character.

I found this story of how Atalanta came to be and how her husband came into the picture. There are so many aspects of her that all play a key role in developing who she is, I am kind of struggling on what aspect to capitalize on.. I am leaning more towards how she became a huntress. Source 1: https://www.greek-gods.org/greek-heroes/atalanta.php. Source 2 has an ode at the bottom: http://atalantaandhippomenes.weebly.com

Leda:
Leda was a queen of Sparta, the wife of King Tyndareus, who was seduced by Zeus in the guise of the swan.
In the chronology of myth Leda was a contemporary of Herakles who placed her husband Tyndareus on the throne of Sparta.
Leda was usually described as a daughter of Thestios, king of Pleuron.
not really sure I like Leda's character so much at the moment

==> although with these characters you can imagine them in any way that you like! that's why people keep coming back to Greek myth over and over again: there are so many different ways to imagine each character... and with all those famous children, it makes you wonder what she thoughts about her children, and what they might have thought about their mother! but if you are not happy with Leda, you had mentioned Penelope, who would be another great character to include

I did not find as much information on Leda as I had originally hoped so I am trading her out for Penelope. There's is a Heroide of Penelope to Ulysses. For this I am going to talk about Penelope is the daughter of Icarius of Sparta, and how she ended up marrying Ulysses...since there is so much significance about Penelope and Ulysses, I am thinking maybe I should do one story that introduces her and one that she tells about her time awaiting for Ulysses. What are your thoughts? Or should I combine the two? There are various resources embedded within this one site: https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Mortals/Penelope/penelope.html

Penthesilea:
Penthesilea was an Amazon queen who led her troops to Troy in support of King Priamos during the Trojan War.
In the battles which ensued Penthesileia slew the Greek Makhaon (Machaon) but was in turn felled by Akhilleus (Achilles).
Penthesileia's name means "mourned by the people"

==> Penthesilea is such a great character; I am really excited you want to include her! there are ancient authors who wrote about her, and modern authors too; here is a book (poem) about Penthesilea: http://bit.ly/37Y4Qpn ... if you like poetry, you might enjoy reading that as an extra credit reading thing!

There's a story that talks about how she killed Achilles first and Zeus brought him back to life and then Achilles proceeded to kill Penthesilea. I think the readers will really like that story and tie into the story why her name holds significance as well. I am going to mention her origins at the beginning of the story. 

Tyro:
Tyro was a Thessalian princess who fell in love with the river Enipeus. As she was sitting on the banks of the river, Poseidon seduced her in the guise of the river-god.
There were several alternate versions of her story. In one, after Tyro revealed she was pregnant by the god, her father Salmoneus refused to believe her, suspecting that his wicked brother Sisyphos was involved. He commanded her to expose the children as soon as they were born.
Stories will focus on bringing the importance of the heroines into the stories and making the readers knowledgable about the origins of the goddesses. Picked some that overlapped. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated!

==> oh wow, this is so cool: no one has ever done a Tyro story for this class before; I think that sounds great, and you have picked out such an unusual set of heroines, all with such different stories and different ways for you to imagine their personalities! that sounds wonderful! you can see all the ancient testimony about Tyro here at theoi.com: https://www.theoi.com/Heroine/Tyro.html

I think for Tyro I plan to introduce her origins/family and then dive into how she fell in love with the river god, Enipeus, who ignored her. She married someone she didn't love and was a mother to five children (not all from her husband). Mentioning Poseidon is important because she bears his twins.

Review

Hey all!

I know we're not in Indian Epics, but I can across the words "Urmila Nidra" and they caught my attention. I grew up listening to the stories of Ramayana, but never had heard about this that Lakshmana had vowed to not sleep for 14 years and that the goddess of sleep came herself to grant him an exemption from the ways of nature. I actually asked my parents about this and why it is not mentioned much and they said it is something that many people commonly don't mention when they talk about the Ramayana in on a daily basis. I loved the background tunes, really did give the India feel, but wished there was narration, rather than me having to read the dialogue.

I literally saw this image and immediately knew this is meant to be. I mean I have been thinking about the beach all day today and I even posted a picture of meditating on the beach in my Growth Mindset post. I think this is a signal that the beach is in my near future.
Ipanema Beach

Growth Mindset: DREAM

I'm trying to figure out how to use Canva, but here is my mindset acronym for this coming week. Hopefully I'll have Canva figured out by next week.

This week was about both studying for the GMAT and preparing for my exams next week. Weeks like this week, sometimes make me question my degree choices, but hey I made it through 3.5 years, just 94 days until graduation! I also finished my graduation application and completed my degree checks, so it has been a day.

It isn't one that flows, but it encompasses all the feelings I had today.

Tech Tip: Duck Duck Go

Hey all!

No School tomorrow!

So I took a look into Duck Duck Go today, it seems very similar to google, except the way they populate websites. I found that when I typed in India in Duck Duck Go,  I got more sources that had origins in India compared to google, which populated websites such as the theguardian.com and bbc.com. So Google had found websites that mention India compared to DDG, which found sites about India from Indian sources.

I might give DDG a try for my research this week and update this article on how that goes.

Reading Notes: Homer's Odyssey, Part B

Odyssey: The Ghost of Ajax by Tony Kline

Continuing today with pulling key pieces of the story that I liked and might use in my story. 

- "The other ghosts of the dead departed stood there sorrowing, and each asked me about their dear ones. Only the spirit of Ajax, Telamon’s son, stood apart, still angered over my victory in the contest by the ships, for Achilles’ weapons."

- "I spoke to his ghost in calming words: “Ajax, son of faultless Telamon, even in death can you not forget your anger with me, over those fatal weapons?....But Zeus alone is to blame whose deadly hatred for the Danaan host hastened your doom. Come closer to me, my lord, so you can hear my speech. Curb your wrath: restrain your proud spirit.” <-- Paragraph 2

- "I saw Tantalus in agonising torment, in a pool of water reaching to his chin. He was tortured by thirst, but could not drink, since every time he stooped eagerly the water was swallowed up and vanished, and at his feet only black earth remained, parched by some god"

- "countless hosts of the dead came thronging with eerie cries, and I was gripped by pale fear lest royal Persephone send up the head of that ghastly monster, the Gorgon, from Hades’ House."

- "Swiftly they climbed aboard, and took their seats at the oars, and as we rowed the force of the current carried her down the River of Ocean, till afterwards a fair breeze blew."

Odyssey: Circe's Magic by Tony Kline


For this week's reading notes I am going to focus on pulling parts of the story I like, any dialogue or descriptors that I think I might imitate in my own writing. 

The Magic Spell:
- Open story with a powerful description that grabs the reader's attention immediately
        "At this, their hearts sank, remembering Laestrygonian Antiphates, and the fierce violence of the man-eating Cyclops. They groaned aloud, and wept great tears. But all their lamentation did no good."

- " Instead of rushing to attack my men, they rose on their hind legs and wagged their tails. Like dogs fawning round their master, back from a feast, bringing them the titbits they enjoy, the wolves and sharp-clawed lions fawned round my men, while they seeing these dread creatures were gripped by fear."

Help from Hermes:
- “Wretched man, where are you off to, wandering the hills of an unknown island all alone? Your friends are penned in Circe’s house, pigs in close-set sties. Have you come to free them?"

Growth Mindset: DARE

I'm trying to figure out how to use Canva, but here is my mindset acronym for this coming week. Hopefully I'll have Canva figured out by next week.

When I was thinking of this acronym it really encompassed my feelings for this weekend. I finally cracked my GMAT prep book open, had a good cry, and actually signed up for the test. There was a moment that I felt that if I started studying for my GMAT that I wasn't going to be able to focus as much on my classes and do well in them. Sure I am a senior, but I have always been the one to make good grades and be ahead of the game when it comes to classwork.

Review

A video that I watched this week was a TED talk by Devdutt Pattanaik. I found it funny that in your short video info you included "yes, they have TED talks in India too" India is not chaotic. I love listening to TED talks and just wish there was more time in the day to do all the things I enjoy. I love to here podcasts and TED talks, because they give you different perspectives to think about this video encompassed everything that I noticed when I was growing up. As a person who has traveled to India so many times, but grown up in America, I was able to relate to this TED talk so well. I mean there is order in the disorder as my dad says. His concept that India is able to live in such harmony and people don't feel like outsider despite the numerous languages spoken. He capitalizes on the fact of distinguishing between seeking control or seeking out the patterns. Both routes lead to different choices and thus he ends his talk with the statement that each choice has a consequence. Overall, this was definitely the best 15 minutes I spent on this lovely Sunday. 


My favorite image I found was the image by Molly Hahnof Buddha Doodles, the image just really reminded me of how much I long for summer to be here and just enjoy the beach/pool/lake. I am the person who will put a pool chair out in my backyard and just lay out in the sun.

Happy Sunday All!

Topic Research: Greek Heroines

Hey All!

Today I'm going to expand on my topic of Greek Heroines. I strongly believe that the ladies need to be represented from Greek Mythology. I did some more research on a few different goddesses and will continue to search for more over the week. I am still debating whether to do a storybook or a portfolio. If I pursue this topic I would like to know what their origins were (i.e. parents, the city they were born in, who they married, any children) and focus the stories on what made them the heroines rather than just another average Greek. I would like to have the stories in a first-person view and be descriptive of the challenges they faced and connect two or three heroines in some way. For example, I might do a first-person narrative of Penelope and her struggles during her wait for Odysseus.

I want to focus my stories on:

Atalanta:
  • Atalanta was an Arkadian heroine--a huntress and a favourite of the goddess Artemis.
  • Atalanta swore to defend her virginity and when two Kentauroi (Centaurs) burst into her grove, she slew them with arrows. She later took part in the voyage of the Argonauts and defeated the hero Peleus in wrestling at the funeral games of King Pelias.
  • The heroine reluctantly agreed insisting that a suitor must defeat her in a race and that the losers be put to death. Melanion--or Hippomenes--however, sought the help of the goddess Aphrodite who provided him with three golden apples to cast before the girl in the race.
  • neglected to pay Aphrodite her dues. She cursed him and he was compelled to lie with his wife in the sacred precinct of Zeus, Rhea or Artemis where an offended deity transformed them into lions.

  • In the chronology of myth Leda was a contemporary of Herakles who placed her husband Tyndareus on the throne of Sparta.
  • Leda was usually described as a daughter of Thestios, king of Pleuron.
  • not really sure I like Leda's character so much at the moment
