Reading notes: Mahabharata Part 1

This week in the Mahabharata, I have started to watch the unfortunate story of King Shantanu. He fell in love with the live goddess and married her but the Queen kept killing they children and he stopped the 8th child from being killed. This part of the story is essential to the rest of the story because without this part of the story there is no backbone. 


I like how they started of the story telling by saying this story is about Karma and the results of actions that were previously taken. When I retell my story, it is a must that I include the Karma part in the plot. I don't think the story would be the same if not. As I kept listening to the stories I began to think that this week I could make a poem for my retelling because this story reminds me of so much heart break. Then King Shantanu was over joyed when his long lost son returned.

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                      ...

Week 13 Story telling: Who's the King?

Image
It was Senior year at Chocolate High, two weeks before Prom night. I was not at all in any way apart of the popular crowd but I had a few good friends, teammates and of course some haters. There was always typical High School drama. How could there not be drama with the different clicks in High School. There were the blacks, whites, hispanics, athletes, band geeks, cheerleaders and many more. The few weeks before prom, the tension was rising. I can remember there was  great excitement too because there was  not always a prom night at Chocolate High. My senior year was the first year Chocolate High had a prom. The three other High schools had prom nights for years but Chocolate High did not. They said Chocolate High used to have a prom night but it caused so much drama that they stopped having prom night. Therefore, everyone was so excited to find out who will be Prom King and Queen. I was also excited but I knew I would never be selected to be on Prom court. However, it actual...
