Week 15 Review

Worth of Water

This English Proverb is very well true. Pun intended. A lot of people take things for granted and until it is gone, they will know how much it meant to them. I know that there are a few things I have taken for granted and they have gone. It really stinks that their gone, but I learned to cherish each and everything ever since then.

Week 15 Curation

For this week there wasn't very much that was going on so I decided to find things that were related to studying for Finals.

One does not simply meme

I chose this meme primarily because it is pretty true for a lot of students. Every night I see students still up around 3 to 5 am studying like there's not tomorrow.

My next favorite item is a cute video that describes how it is when college students look at their books when studying for Finals. Cute Video.

This last favorite gif that I found pretty much represents a whole bunch of students.

How is studying for Finals going? Meme sent from a friend

This is a Meme that was sent from a friend of mine who I asked how their studying was. I'm pretty sure there are quite a lot of students doing this right now. Good luck!

Famous Last Word: Week 15

For this last week of this course I have read some amazing storybooks. The two that I have completed reading were The Aviarium and Ghost Stories. These two storybooks kept me coming for more. When I reached the end, I felt like there was going to be more to come but seeing that the semester is coming to an end I know that there won’t be any more stories to add on and read. These two were a blast to read and I would recommend it to others.

At the beginning of this week I had gotten sick. I thought that I got sick after meeting with some friends this past weekend that were a bit sick. So I bought medicine for what I thought was the flu since I had signs of coughing, fever, congestion, and sinus problems. I continued to be sick for the next few days and I wondered if the medication I bought was really the right one.

Then on Thursday of this week I went to get my throat checked out because that morning my mouth and neck were swollen. They told me that it was not serious but that I had an ulcer on my uvula. I sat there at the doctor’s office thinking, “How the heck did I get an ulcer on my uvula?” It turns out that ulcers that appear near or on your uvula could cause a lot of issues. For me, it gave me a headache, a fever, relentless coughing, pain in my ears, swollen mouth and neck, and a really runny nose. I have received my antibiotics and other medication that the doctor recommended and I hope that I will be better within a few days.

I would show you how my mouth looks but I think that it would be a bit disgusting and graphic. So instead of that I’ll just use a different photo.

Reading Evaluation

This semester presented a lot of creative and awesome stories from my classmates. The storybooks that I have read that I thoroughly enjoyed were The Aviarium, My Brothers Grimm: The Diary of the Only Grimm Sister, Pirate's Talus, Journey to Indian Ghost Experiences, and Queen of the Underworld.

The amount of reading, commenting, and writing in this class was very well equalized. If you wrote something, you had to read and comment on someone's post. If you didn't write something, then you still had the chance to read and comment.

An advice that I give to students next semester is to work on your assignments whenever you get the chance to. Work ahead as soon as you possibly can because it will help you in the long run.

Reflections of Fall 2015

Taking a look back at this semester, I feel that my fish-themed Portfolio has been my best work. It made it on to the favorites list and students from both Myth-Folklore and Indian Epic classes have read and commented on my Portfolio. Making stories for the Fishy Portfolio Guide was quite difficult but it was worth it in the end.

This class was very fun and interesting. I enjoyed reading and writing stories throughout this semester.

Week 14 Growth Mindset

With Dead Week here and Finals next week, I figure that this meme would be most appropriate to how most of us feel.

College meme from Pintrest

 This meme really hits home when any college student is going through Dead week and Finals. I know for a fact that during my Freshman year I was kind of like this along with my whole dorm floor. Heck, even I am still a bit like this now haha. Anyways, this is just a reminder to do your best and good luck!
