Famous Last Words: A Hectic Week

This week was a difficult one! I had two exams in Tax and Advanced Corporate Finance on the same day and I had to learn a piano duet with a classmate. Because of that and because we are short staffed right now at work and I am filling in, I missed one assignment in this class this week but I am making up for it now with some extra credit. I am also trying to knock out some of next weeks assignments today so that I don't feel so stressed in the future.

Already, I know that it is just going to get busier. I have a team project in Audit to start, more exams on the horizon, and lots of other assignments here and there. I feel like the semester is in full swing and if I get too far behind I won't catch up.

But as for this class, I really liked the reading I did this week. I did Arabian Nights last week and Sinbad this week which is a story inside Arabian Nights, so it kind of felt like a continuation of things I already read. It was a fun story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I also worked on my the prologue of my project. I was able to add more to it and double the length! I love the way it is coming out and have already started the next story. I also read some of my classmates' projects and I am excited to keep up with them as well as find more.

As for next week, my goal is to be more on top of things and be better with time management. In the business college, there is a lot of resources for learning how to manage time so I have no excuses for being lazy. I especially want to make sure to do all of the assignments and get more sleep!

Heres how I felt this week:

    Elyse,

    As for extra credit assignments, I really like the famous last words assignment. I love that we are given the opportunity and pushed to reevaluate the past weeks and plan for the upcoming ones. It seems like you really conquered the week you were writing about and that's so wonderful! Keep up the good work!

Week 3 Wikipedia Trail

For this assignment, I started with the article about the Canterbury Tales, since that is what I am working on for my project. First article:  The_Canterbury_Tales This one is very intensive and covers not only a premise of the story but also a historical context, the themes, and the style of the writing. I imagine I am going to use this article a lot when I begin working on my project. From this article, there are links to all the other sections and a bunch of pictures of the different pilgrims. Second article:  General_Prologue This is the prologue and the beginning of the story. It not only gives a premise to the storytelling competition, it gives a background of the pilgrims and their destination. I am going to use a similar premise in my project and will refer to this article when I am working on my introduction. One thing I am debating is whether I will have a "Geoffrey Chaucer" character in my story. In the original, the author inserted himself into the tale, I d...

Reading Notes: Ozaki, Part A

Japenese Fairytales,  Ozaki  by Yei Theodora Ozaki In this unit, there have been three stories so far: My Lord Bag of Rice In this story the name of Tawara Toda, which means "My Lord Bag of Rice" is explained. He was a brave warrior who came across a large dragon on a bridge. Instead of running away, he just climbed over the dragon and continued going, however, someone called out to him and when he looked back he discovered a person where the dragon had been. It was the Dragon King whose family was being killed by a giant centipede every night and he begged for the warrior's help. The warrior agreed and went to wait for the centipede. As it came down a mountain, he shot it with an arrow tipped in saliva which killed the centipede. The Dragon King was so grateful, he gave the warrior, among other things, a sack of rice which never ran out. The Adventures of Kintaro A warrior married a woman, however, he died and his wife ran away to the wilderness in fear of his e...

Week 14 Story: Jason and the Giant's Gold

Jason and the Giant's Gold Jason had always been a poor peasant, unknown by most. He had a job as a shepherd for the Lord of the lands and it provided for himself, his mothers, and his sisters and he was grateful for it. However, he was with the sheep night and day and was unable to do little else. If he didn't have this job, his family would have starved when his father died some years back and so Jason worked hard, both to support his family and from the gratitude he felt toward the Lord for trusting him with his flocks. However, some days back, he had left the sheep, for a little while, when he had come across a giant. He thought that would be the end of him and he briefly wondered who would take care of his family when he died but the giant hadn't killed him. It had needed his help and as a reward, it had taken him to a giant celebration. It had given him a belt of invisibility so he would be safe from the other giants and in this way, Jason had been able to witness...
