Famous Last Words: Week 11

I’ve finally came to realize that this has probably been my busiest semester yet. I feel like as soon as I finish an assignment for one class, I have another pile of assignments already waiting for me in another class. I guess that’s what I get for enrolling it seventeen credit hours this semester…It’s been a good experience though. I feel like I can definitely handle stress better than I could before and that I’ve learned a lot this semester. My semester isn’t getting any easier anytime soon because I have three exams this upcoming week. So I’m basically going to be a living zombie at the library all week. My exams are in Physics, O-Chem 2, and Understanding Music. Two out of those three classes are going to be miserable. Can you guess which two?

I’m enjoying the Mahabharata this week because I think it’s at an interesting part of the story line. I think my best writing of the week was the storytelling assignment for this week. I really enjoy reading about Arjuna because is my favorite character in the Mahabharata so I’m glad I had the opportunity to write my own version of a story about him. I hope you guys enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

This week when I was doing the project comments, I came across an awesome storybook by another student in the Indian Epics class. It was based on the animal avatars of Vishnu, but this person represented the avatars by planets in space. I thought it was a brilliant idea and got really into the stories. They were very well written and did a great job in keeping my interest. I definitely recommend this storybook to anyone who wants to read a good one.


Hopefully my week ends up going smoother than I’m anticipating it to be!

  1. Parth!! Hey friend! Hopefully your tests went well this week so you can get out of zombie mode and go have some fun! Yuck to Ochem 2. Are you taking UM with Ambrosini?! Arjuna is a pretty cool character. I’m glad I took this class. It’s definitely given me a better appreciation for literature and the arts. Good luck with finals!

  2. Parth,

    Hopefully you survived this week! I can relate to you when you say you think you can handle stress better than before. It’s sort of incredible how much I have improved. I used to be a complete stress ball and somehow I have chilled out quite a bit. I think part of it is just learning how to prioritize and for me, realizing that even though it may feel like it, it isn’t necessarily a life and death situation.
