Famous Last Words; Finally Done

Well, this will be my last blog post in this class and maybe ever. I am finally done and I did it with 45 minutes to spare. This class was difficult for me because I was very busy with all the other classes I was taking and also some personal stuff going on. There was a lot of writing and I think that I got better as the class went on. This class also gave a lot of tools to use and tips like time management and other things that I can still look back on and remember as I start this next chapter in my life. I had never even thought about mythology and folklore before and now I have learned something new that I can use. Its never a waste when you gain knowledge about a subject. I was hesitant to take this class when I started because honestly it was just something that I was not interested in. But I wanted to challenge myself by going out of my comfort zone and proving to myself that I could learn something I wasnt particularly found of in the beginning. But I have a new found respect for this course and the subject. There are so many interesting stories and a lot that I had never even heard of before. I tried to be as creative as possible and actually really enjoyed going back and reading my writing. When I write I feel I am not doing as well but when I go back and read I actually think that I am pretty good. There are still some things I need to work on but blogging could be in my future if I find a subject I am super passionate about. Who knows maybe I will help someone out someday with my words. That would make me happy. Anyways, I really did enjoy this at the end of the day and would recommend this to a friend that wants to be better at writing.

What a class! link

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

Wikipedia trail: From Three Little Pigs To LSD

Three Little Pigs; Link I had just written a blog post about the story of the Three Little Pigs. I read through the article and started to read about the different modern versions of this famous fairy tail and that is when I came across a character who was a "Cannabis Smoker". Cannabis Smoking; Link I chose the cannabis smoking link because I figured it would lead me down a complete different road from where I began. The cannabis smoking article got to the different ways to ingest cannabis and that is when I came across "Place under the tongue". Sublingual Administration; Link I chose this subject because I wanted to get even deeper into how strange I could end up from the original search. Reading through this article obviously lead me to the different drugs that are taken by placing them underneath the tongue. That is when I came across "LSD". Lysergic Acid Diethylamide; Link I chose LSD because I knew that this is where I would of ended and to...

Wikipedia Trail; From Vishnu to Slang

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishnu I got to vishnu through the class twitter page. I have always wondered about vishnu and for some reason this weekend it got brought up. So when I saw it, it caught my eye.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga When I was reading through Vishnu on wikipedia it began to talk about the different positions the statues of Vishnu come in. One of them was a yoga sitting pose. Hinduism and these gods have a lot to do with yoga and yoga is important in many religions in the middle east and asia.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa As I was reading about Yoga and religions I came across the muslim religion where they issued a Fatwa for any muslims trying to practice yoga. I had never heard of a fatwa before I started watching "Curb your Enthusiam" where this season there was a Fatwa against Larry David.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang Fatwa can be used as slang and that is how Curb your Enthusiasm used it in there se...
