Review

Cat from Canvas
For the last week of the year and the last 30 minutes of this class, I thought it best for me to do a backup and review assignment. The first part of this assignment is to find an image from the announcement page and talk about it. This image of this cat was the image for this week and it is almost funny how fitting it is. I struggle with procrastination often and this class has gotten the brunt end of that. Due to this, I have had to grind these past few weeks to get the grade I wanted in this class. This cat telling itself "I can do it. I will do it!" has been my motto with this class and this semester overall. I have taken a few hits but I have made it through with hard work and determination.


For the video option, I chose to watch the crash course video on Ragnarok. Being that the only information I know about this end of the world scenario is from the Marvel movie of the same name I thought it best to educate myself a little further. One thing that I found very interesting in this story is how evil Loki actually is. He is the god of mischief but after the host of the show listed off all of the things he did I could have never imagined how long the list would go on. Also, the Norse gods were very cruel when punishing Loki, they killed his son, tied him up with the remains and then sat him under poison snakes venom for eternity. This event was definitely not in the movie. I think it is really interesting how much more to the story there is than what is shown in the movie. I also was unaware that there were crash course videos on mythology, that is something I will have to check out in the future!

The Coyote and the Snake Reading Notes

The Coyote and the Snake One day the coyote was walking along the trail when he heard a voice say Stop! The coyote looked around and he couldn't see anything. He disregarded the warning and kept moving. Once again he heard someone yell stop. He looked around again and he saw nothing until he heard a voice say "Walk over me, or move out of the way." The coyote looked down and found a snake in the path right below him. The snake said that he has been traveling this trail for years and he would simply not move. The coyote said the same thing and that he would simply not move. The coyote said he would have to keep going if the snake moved or not. The snake made the threat that if the coyote stepped over him the snake would have no choice but to kill him. The coyote didn't believe him and called his bluff. He walked over him and the snake bit the coyote. The coyote didn't feel anything and then mocked the snake. The coyote kept walking on and when he got to the...

Story Week 13 "Alice's Fall"

Alice looking down the hole Alice followed the rabbit until she came to a hole. She saw the rabbit jump down the hole and contemplated going after him or not. She looked back at her sister reading on the hillside and thought to herself, "There is no way I am going back to be that bored." So she got down on her hands and knees and peered into the rabbit hole to see what she could find.  The hole was very dark so she squinted to see if she could see a clearer picture. She still couldn't see anything so she leaned in to see if that would clear up her vision. Once she started to lean the ground started to crumble out from under her. She started to push back to leave the hole but the ground just started to crumble more. Her hands slipped out from under her and she fell into the hole.  Alice let out a piercing scream, then another, then another. She was frantically yelling due to the fear that she would splat on the ground. She just kept screaming and falling unt...

Time Strategies

Procrastination Graph Link Time management is something I struggle with in almost every aspect of my life. Whether it comes to assignments, gifts, dates, scheduling, and almost everything else, procrastination always has a hold on me. For example, I am writing this blog post almost one hour before it is due. Procrastination is in my nature, and it always has been. Thankfully I have people around me who keep me in check. In Caroline Webb's article  How To Beat Procrastination , I saw that she spoke of the tactic of pre-committing, publicly. This tactic has helped me out greatly. Thankfully I have friends who want the best for me and know how capable I am of doing good work so if I tell them the priorities I have and the things I need to complete they often remind me to complete my work and stay on schedule.  One of my main objectives in life is to surround myself with good people and I think that that has helped me a lot with the decisions I make because of th...
