Review Week 15

For this week's back up and review assignment, I watched The Epic of Gilgamesh video. The first thing I noticed about the video was the instrument used to play this son. What an interesting looking thing! I think I will do my Wikipedia on it! It is long and skinny and has only three strings that I could see. However, the sounds made from this instrument were very soothing. I also liked the singer's voice. It had a lot of emotion in it.

I wish that I had listened to more music for part of my assignments for this class. They are so soulful and I think we forget that music can be used to tell stories. I know in America it's more of a form of entertainment, but I know in other cultures, music has more meaning to it than that. I thought this was a very powerful way to retell this epic story.

Title: Fluffiest

The image I chose this week was of a cat sitting in front of a mirror asking who was the fluffiest of them all. I know that they were probably talking about fur, but it made me laugh because of the time of year it is. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas...and even after....are the weeks that I throw all caution to the wind. There are no diets. There are no working out. I feel that gluttony is one of the seven sins that everyone partakes in this time of year. There is so much good food out there that I just can't say no most of the time. So in a couple weeks, this will be me in front of the mirror looking at my fluffy self!

Title: Copenhagen, Denmark Source:  Wikimedia Welcome to the comments section for my portfolio page. I will be adding stories to my portfolio that reflect some of my favorites from the Epics we read. These stories will be versions told in my own words with my own personality. I hope you enjoy the read and feel free to comment, suggest or give feedback on the things you like, don't like or could use improvement. Here is a link to my  GoogleSites . Enjoy the read and have a great semester! P.S. Image information - I originally had set this up to be a storybook. After getting behind, it was best for me to switch. However, I decided to leave the coffee picture as my image. While I won't be talking about food for my storybook, coffee is still an important thing in my life. Every time I sit down to write a story, I ALWAYS have a cup close by. It helps my brain do it's thing. I felt it fitting to leave the image here since it is a part of every story (even if not exp

Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah

I will admit I'm not very witty when it comes to creating titles for things. So I thought I'd Google ideas to be creative with my phrasing of the word introduction. The first thing that came up was a list of 74 catchy blog titles that will grab people's attention. A list of fill in the blank titles. After trying to add "introduction" to each of the titles, the one I settled on made me giggle the most: Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah. If you want to see the list for yourself, you can follow this link:  Funny Blog Titles . As the title suggests, my name is Sarah. I'm double majoring in accounting and MIS and I plan to apply for the accelerated master program at the end of the semester and start working towards my masters in MIT. However, I may just settle for one bachelors and be done with it! I have been going to school for the better part of a decade now and have changed majors so many times I've lost track. I am married and have children. M

Week 12 Story: A Single Soul

** I have also put this story on my Portfolio Page, found  here . The night air crackled with the heat. The coolness of the water clashed with the air and an eerie fog danced across the surface of the lake. Despite low visibility near the ground, the night sky shone bright. The moon bathed each surface in a pale-yellow glow. Every star painted the heavens with a brilliance that made her mind at peace, even if for just a brief second. This was her favorite time of the morning, when the earth was at it quietest. Adeline sat atop the banyan tree overlooking the lake. A heavy sigh escaped her lips. As the quiet crept in, her mind began to wander. She struggled to come to terms with her choices. Leaving her home in the city was necessary, but she was so lonely. The kind of lonely that made her chest ache in a way that made the hopelessness seem vast and never ending. She wondered if she would ever become numb to that feeling. She wondered if she would ever find happiness again. Los
