Week 14 Famous Last words

A week before dead week! Dead week is here! I cannot believe that my college career is almost over. Good thing is that since I have couple online classes, I don't have that many finals. It is so hard to concentrate when I am about to graduate. My motivation has left me after I took the senior portrait.

I read some awesome stories by fellow classmates and they were all so creative. Since my major doesn't involve a lot of writing, it was fun to explore other people's writings. My favorite was the birth story storybook.

I am trying to finish this class today so that I can just start working on other classes. I have a final paper due for capstone tomorrow and also a world music paper due on Friday. After I get through all the papers, I will be able to focus on my studies.

Work wasn't too bad. I am getting burned out a little bit, but I think its natural for a person who had the same job for a long time. I will be training the new baristas this week again which won't be that bad.


I had a great weekend. I spent some time with a great friend of mine. I went to a car racing event which was mind-blowing and watched a movie too. The car racing event was exhilarating. There were so many mustangs because it was mustang club event. I was able to ride in my friend's car which has 540 hp. The car event was something different and I hope to go to more of those in the future.

 I watched a movie called Ex Machina. The movie made me think about how technology is dominating our universe now. The movie was great, but I did not like the ending. It is crazy how technology rules this world now and soon, the technology might take over the human population. I would recommend this movie to other people too.

Here is a funny meme for Finals.

Reading Diary B Week 14

• Bhishma's death was very dramtic. I thought it was cool how Bhishma had a choice on the day he will die. I thought it was very meaningful how he dies on winter solstice which was the shortest day of the year. Another cool thing that happened was that his scars disappear from his body. 
• I wonder what the meaning of Yudhishthira's dream. He had a dream where he traveled with his brothers, Draupadi, and a dog. All of sudden, everybody died, but the dog was with him. Then Indra appeared infront of Yudhisthira and ask him to go to heaven, but he had to leave the dog. Yudhishthira refuses to abandon the dog and find out that the whole thing was a test. The dog was the Lord Yama who was trying to test his son. This event reminded me of the movie Kingsman. In the movie, Eggsy had to either kill the dog or not become a Kingsman.
• Because Yudhishthira is faithful, he was able to go to the heavens in his dream. Later, he woke up realizing that it was just a dream.
• The Pandava line was dead at first. The story was that Princess Uttara gave a birth to a son, who was the only one left of the Pandavas, were born dead. With the power of Krishna, he was able to gain life. 
• I thought it was nice how Krishna was presented with a new chariot from Maya. 
• It was nice reading Buck's version of Mahabharata, but it wasn't my favorite. I'm not a big war fan, but Buck's Mahabharata had a lot of war scene.
