Week 8 Progress

Pinterest

Using the progress chart and looking at what I've done so far in the class, I know I'm a bit behind. I'm about 30 points off from having a C in the class. Like I mentioned in previous posts, this is because I've been caught up with some non-school projects and let myself get behind. This isn't the only class in which that's happened, either. 

When I think about the rest of the semester, I know I want to get back into the routine that I had the first few weeks. I was getting everything done at least a day before the deadline, and working ahead when I could. I'm definitely going to have to get some extra credit in at some point to make sure I pass the class. Of course, passing is all I need since I'm graduating and am not worried about my GPA.

Here's to the last second half of the semester I'll ever have!

With everything that happened in 2020, my anxiety really skyrocketed and my work at The Daily sometimes felt so overwhelming... so I decided to "chill" in my last semester. 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

Devadatta attempting to assassinate the Buddha. Could not find artist info.  Source . One day, as the Buddha was tending to his garden, one of his most beloved monks, Sāriputta, came to him with great concern. "Sāriputta, what is troubling you?" the Buddha asked. "Teacher, I must tell you that the monk Devadatta is plotting to kill you," Sāriputta said with quiet urgency. "I overheard his plan, he desires to take your place. Tell me what you want me to do, you know that I and your disciples will protect you." The Buddha simply smiled and nodded. "I knew this day would come," he said, not seeming nervous at all. "Since the day I encountered him in this life, I remembered. We met in a past life, I a monkey and he a crocodile, and he tried to kill me then as well so that his mate could have my heart. He wasn't successful then, and he won't be now, brother." "But-" Sāriputta started, but was cut off with the Buddha raising
