Week 8: Progress

Looking at my progress so far in class, I am pretty happy with my performance so far in class. I am pretty introverted person, so I think that I am really proud that I can easily post my thoughts and stories for others. The class assignments that I enjoy the most would be the storytelling assignments as well as the stories for our storybook assignment. I have not used any of the extra credit assignments so far, but I think that for this week I might try and complete some of these assignments. I think that moving forward; I need to begin building my website as there are grammatical errors in some of my stories. Also, I need to add more information about some of the stories that I have in my storybook so far. Overall, I am happy with the progress I have completed so far and I am looking forward to working more on my storybook.

    Hello again Rachana! I as curious about your progress, and so I thought I could leave my second comment here, instead of a story. I am really interested in how you are enjoying or interacting with the material this semester. I have a friend from India and he has some wild ideas about the Ramayana. Did you grow up knowing the stories of all the characters we have read about? Because if so I am really curious to see how or if it has changed with your progression of the class?

      Thank you for your comment! When I was a kid, my mom and my dad would tell me different stories from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. I knew about the characters of Rama, Sita, Hanuman, Ravana, and many other characters. However, once I actually read the Ramayana, I didn't really like the character of Rama as much as I did in my childhood. As the class progressed, some of the characters that I liked initially, I ended up disliking. While I was reading the Mahabharata, I actually like some aspects of the Kauravas and started to dislike the Pandavas which was really interesting. I still hated the Kauravas, but there were some aspects of them that I began to understand more about than in my childhood.

Introduction of a Future Psychologist

Hi everyone! My Name is Rachana Rajala. I was born in Saskatoon, Canada; however, both of my parents are from India, particularly from a region known as Andhra Pradesh. I moved to the United States when I was two years and have been in Oklahoma since then. I am a currently a Senior at the University of Oklahoma. I am a psychology major and I am hoping to be a clinical psychologist who specializes in developmental and behavioral psychology. I think that the best class that I took last semester was a cognitive psychology course because it was really interesting and actually had to do something with my major. My biggest accomplishment was probably giving a five minute speech in one of my classes last semester. Since I was a kid,  I have had terrible social anxiety and have hated public speaking. However, last semester I was able to compose myself and be able to give a somewhat decent speech, so that would be my biggest accomplishment. Over the winter break I really didn't do any

Week Story 5: Sita's exile

Image
                                                                    Image Details: Sita, Source: Wikimedia It was a foggy Friday morning. Lakshmana and I had to leave early in the morning so that the tabloids wouldn’t see us sneaking out of the house. He came into my room last night and told me that I had to leave with Lakshmana in the morning to go meet some constituents that could help him in the election. “Why me? Why not send Hanuman?” I looked at Rama intently. He never sent me anywhere by myself and especially after the rumors about the affair; we decided it would be better if I didn’t make any public appearances for some time. Rama ran his fingers through his hair, “I need Hanuman here, Sita. He needs to rally up the rest of our followers for the speech. Besides, the people adore you. Maybe not right now, but you need to show them that you are stronger than this.” He looked up at me and I could see tears in his eyes. I never saw him cry, even when his father told h
