Reading Notes over Narayan's Ramayana

Reading Notes over Narayan's Ramayana - Part A

This weeks reading I read part A of Narayan's Ramayana, I chose to read this version of the Ramayana because of how it was chronologically written and because it doesn't use any any old fashioned language which makes it easier for me to comprehend. I also really enjoyed having the reading guide for this option as well. For the special sacrifice that Dasharatha obtains rice, I could change it from rice to cookies that he must feed to his wives so that one can become pregnant. I liked that Thataka was once a god but was changed into a demon after her family's terrible behavior. I might change Rama's weapon to a supernatural knife from a bow and arrow. I could also change the obstacles that Rama must complete to win Sita's hand in marriage. Perhaps a Shiva creates an maze that Rama must escape from instead. I like how this story has a curse in it and I definitely want to keep that as well as the exile because it makes for a nice twist.

I'm majoring in Psychology and minoring in Human Relations and I plan on going to graduate school for Higher Education Administration after I graduate and work in student affairs and hopefully eventually become a dean of a college! This semester I am taking a graduate class from OU's Adult and Higher Ed program, and I am a little nervous about it, but mainly excited since it's what I want to do as my career. I am also a TA for a gateway class, which I think is going to make for a great semester. In my spare time I enjoy reading (Harry Potter is my favorite ), listening to Broadway soundtracks (Hamilton, Book of Mormon, Wicked, and so many more), getting overly attached to fictional TV show characters because I love Netflix (Doctor Who, The Office - which I am actually watching as a wr

Growth Mindset: Cats

Using the randomizer I found a couple of cats that I really liked either because they were cute, funny, relatable, or all of the above! The first one was adorable and very accurate. I've found the more I write the better I get at it, especially when it comes to my personal statements. The second meme made me laugh. I've always been a goal setter and while it can be sad to miss your goal it's good to even get close to reaching it because there is always next time! Cat Meme 1 Cat Meme 2
