Assignments

When I took Mythology/Folklore in Spring 2020, it was honestly kind of wishy-washy when I would do the assignments in this class and which ones I would do. And after COVID-19 hit us in March, I think everything I did for this class was for my storybook. That semester was just...a lot. And the flexibility in this class really saved me from being overwhelmed.

This semester, while my last, is hopefully going to be much less chaotic. That said, I hope to be more consistent with the assignments in this class, not overworking myself but still keeping to a routine and learning as much as I can.

I'm of course most excited about the reading and writing. I have always had an interest in Indian mythology because of a favorite book series from when I was younger, so I'm really excited to learn more!

I'm currently trying to land a part-time job, though, because money. After graduation, I'm not 100% sure what I want to do. For years I've wanted to do investigative reporting, but I'm reevaluating whether that's the best thing for my mental health. I know I still want to do something in the journalism world, so we'll ...

Week 11 Story: Separation of a Single Soul

Image
Radha and Krishna Krishna's heart ached as he said goodbye to each and every member of his village. These were the people who had helped raise him — they say it takes a village, after all. While each one was special to him in their own way, he didn't have trouble picturing his life without the majority of them. He knew his destiny was here, and if he had to sacrifice familiarity and comfort and friends along the way, he could. He was of course deeply saddened to leave his adoptive father and mother, the people who really had raised him even though they knew he wasn't their blood. They had known for awhile that he would have to leave them, and the peace in their hearts cultivated a peace in his.  There was one person who it truly tore him apart to leave. They had grown up together, played together, loved each other in every way possible. His soul had been knit with hers. He still loved her, he always would, but knew that being with her was not what the gods had planned. And ...
