Google timer tech tip

I never knew that Google had a timer feature. I know Google has different functions, but never knew that I could set a timer.

I normally don't set up a timer for a lot of things, but when I do, it means that I have to do something under certain amount of time. One good thing about using a timer is that it keeps you on track. In certain situations, you lose track of time but by having a time, it will remind you of the time.

I do stay on my computer a lot so setting a timer will be a good way to not get carried away in the internet world.

Week 10 Reading Diary B

• This week's reading was so full of battles and episodes. I've noticed that there were just endless fighting in this week's reading. This week's reading has been most dramatic episodes ever. There were so many family drama, killing, lying, violence, and battles.
• When Krishna showed  the universal, all being and destruction during the fight with Arjuna, it reminded me of Ravana! I thought it was interesting how there are characters who can transform their image to duplicate their heads and arms. I looked up the image  of Krishna and it was similar to Ravana's except Krishna also had several arms
• I thought it was fascinating how Krishna had so much power over nature and other things. Krishna used his ability to adjust the sun so that Arjuna slays Jayadrath thinking that the sun was setting. Sun is one of those things what are not controlled by human, but Krishna's action lets the readers know how powerful he is. 
• I was disgusted when I read that Bhima mutilated Dushasana's body and drank his blood. I would never drink anybody's blood! I wondered why he drank Dushansana's blood and is there a significant meaning behind this action?
• I thought it was very clever of Krishna to substitute Bhima as a metal statue. I was once again surprised by Krishna's action. 
• The term Pandavas made it easier for me to read because of all the characters with long names tend to be confusing to me, but Pandavas sums up to be the sons of Pandu.

Arjuna and Krshna

Famous Last Words Week 9

This week, I wasn't able to do my diary entries and since I wasn't able to do my diary entries, I wasn't able to do storytelling :( I had a lot going on this week. Because I am graduating this May,I did a lot to prepare my future! I looked for some job offers from different companies and also did some research on military. Originally, I wanted to be a nurse, but my passion for nursing is disappearing so I am just looking at different options. Life is an adventure and I am really unsure about what I will do after graduation.

I enjoyed reading other students writing! A lot of them were so creative and unique! Since I missed out on writing my own, it was nice catching up with the class. By commenting on different stories and blogs, I was able to see diff

My other classes were pretty crazy. Because it was spring break the week after, a lot of my classes had mid terms. I also had to pull a all night on Thursday night for my physiology. The exam was hard, but I was so ready for a break from school! For spring break, I'm planning on going to Texas with my family.

Personally, it was hard for me this week. A good friend of mine was deployed and it was hard for me to get over the emotions. He was supposed to be deployed next month, but it was a sudden noticed from his center commander. I  was planning on spending part of my spring break hanging out with him, but that went out the window. I was so sad he was leaving.

I watched a movie called God's not dead as a study break. It was a such a good movie with many meaning to it. The main character was such a faithful christian. The movie made me look back at my spiritual life.

Famous Last Words Week 8

This week was a busy week!  I went to Dallas on the snow day. Because the weather was fine, I thought it wouldn't get bad on Wednesday. In Dallas, I just shopped with my sister at the Korean town and had good food. I went to this Korean BBQ buffet in Dallas called Omi and they had unlimited meet buffet. I ate so much there! I went with my sister and it took us six hours to get back from Dallas. On the way back, I saw many trucks that were flipped over and there were several cars that just rested on the side of the highway because the road was very slick. It sure was a dangerous drive.

On Friday, I had to go to graduation gear-up to pick up my cap and gown. I also took my senior portrait on the same day. I went with my friend Ashley and we both felt like we were not ready to go out to the real world. College was filled with joy and memories. It felt weird that I am going to graduate because I was in school for the past sixteen years of my life. I don't know for sure what I am going to do after graduation.

Me and My friend Ashley at the graduation gear-up!

I enjoyed class this week. It was nice having a little break from reading and work on looking back at my work. I realized that the comments from other students have helped me improve on my writing. Because different classmates had different thoughts on my writing, it was nice getting different types of comments.

My other classes were not that bad this week. I have a test next week, but because of the snow day, the test schedule might be changed. I just can't wait for Spring break! I don't really have anything planned out other then going to Dallas with my family, it will be nice having a little break from school.

Commenting Review Week

Because this is an online class, we never see our classmates. Leaving comments allows me to connect to other classmates by communicating. I like the commenting, but I think it will be a good idea if we could be assigned to groups and have a chat room. Comments which corrected my blog post was the most helpful. It is nice to hear good things about my work, but also correcting my work is a good way to improve my writing skills. For both short and long comments, I give them a good comment about what they've done really well and something they can fix. The easiest part of writing a comment is complimenting them. The hardest part is the criticizing the work. This is the only class I took which allowed to students to comment on each other's work every week. The commenting method allows me to fix the mistakes I have made on my writing and continuously improve on my writing. I think commenting is a good component of this class.

Writing Review Week

I am so grateful to be in this class. I never enjoyed writing, but this class allowed me to write more. By writing more, I am able to express my thoughts through words. Since I am not really good at writing, I want to improve more on sentence structure and grammar. Reading other stories from other people allowed me to learn a lot from them. Some of my classmates are talented writers! I love the feedback I receive from from Professor Gibbs and the classmates because it allows me to improve my writing skill. I think the biggest challenge is grammar for me. Because English isn't my first language, I have hard time writing. I love looking back at my work. Because I never had a class which allowed me to write everyday, I feel accomplished looking at my work. I attached my favorite picture from one of my stories. This story was my favorite because I think I did a good job expressing Shupanakha's feeling.
