My reading for this week went great. I finished both portions on time like I usually do. My favorite part was about Kunti and her meeting with the Sun God. I decided to write about that and I am thinking about writing a continuation story about it. My best writing that I have done this week was my Mood God story and my research paper for Research Methods class. I thought I did a pretty good job because I had a lot going on and I still managed to get it done, and it was decent for the time that I had. There was a story I read that was written by another classmate that I found was really interesting. It was from the perspective of the women of Ramayana and it was a much-needed read. The original version of the Ramayana only focused on the men of the epic and how they were feeling. The women went through a great deal, but they were not explained and their trials and tribulations were not spoken about much. My other classes are going okay. To be honest, I am just trying to get through the semester and graduate. I want to make good grades as well, but the classes I am taking are just too difficult and I want to be done already. One exciting event that just happened was the designation of the new president of the University of Oklahoma! Since President Boren's retirement announcement, the regents have been searching for the best candidates for the presidency. They ended up choosing businessman and university donor, James Gallogly, who just so happens to be funding and sponsoring the new biomedical engineering building that is currently under construction. My plans for this week and next week are to work and finish my other papers which are due pretty soon.

My name is Shivani Gandhi and I am a senior psychology major at the University of Oklahoma. The coolest thing about my major is that it can be utilized in pretty much any field out there. A person knowledgeable about psychology can assist anyone and some companies have a special position for people who have studied psychology. I love school and I will try my best to make any class fun and I think of classes as a stepping stone to where I need to be. I try to make them enjoyable by relating them to concepts I will have to face in the future and how these classes will help me get there. My favorite and best class from last semester was Human Sexuality with Professor Dennison because I loved the way he taught the subject. He was funny and made the topics not embarrassing to talk about on a daily basis. I also learned some pretty useful things in the class that will help me in the future. My biggest accomplishments last semester were completing and submitting my application for Nursing a

Week 2 Story: The Servant and the "Beast"

Turtle graffiti. Source: Pixabay   Long, long ago, there was a castle in the foothills of the of the Bucegi Mountains in Romania, was an elegant castle fit for the king of kings. At this castle lived King Arjun and his 2 daughters, Eshani and Karishma. One day, on a warm autumn evening, the two girls went out to play in the valley, not far from the castle. After playing with the rocks and mud by the river, Eshani and Karishma came across a strange looking creature upon a hill that resembled a dragon and became fearful. "Should we go tell father?" asked Eshani. "Yes, let's go before it destroys the valley and heads for our home!" said a concerned Karishma. The girls quickly ran inside and screamed for their father. King Arjun was in the middle of polishing his armor when the girls interrupted him. "What is going on?" said King Arjun in a firm and slightly agitated manner. "There is a dragon in the river that runs through the valley
