What I Learned

I really enjoyed reading "The Myth of Too Busy". It had a really good topic that was very intriguing to read about. I find myself often thinking that I am very 'busy' as well, but every time I have felt that way there has always been a way for me to find more time. In most cases where work is pilled on I end up avoiding my hobbies until the work as done, but now I think that if I look closer I will be able to find dead time that needs to be properly utilized.

For this semester I will doing most of the work for this class in-between my other classes on campus. These natural 'breaks' during my days have formed a perfect block for me to get work done and then some if necessary.

"3 Steps to Recapture Time" suggested to use the first 5-15 minutes of the day to plan out what needs to be done. I feel like this is a very useful idea. I plan on trying to implement that technique as it will prepare me for the day and allow me to better balance my course-load.

I have only went to one official competition back in 2014 with a Single Best Time of 22.33s and an average of 28.23s ( My Record ). Unofficially my PB for a single solve is 14.72s. Twisty Puzzles...? It is a weird to call a Rubik's Cube a twisty puzzle, but that is what it is. I say this because there is a large amount of

Week 7 Story: The Undying Battle

Author's Notes This story focuses on the events that happened during the conflict of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The main battles can be seen in this story 1 . I found that the fighting in this war was primarily focused around where the generals were fighting, and less so about the actual infantry on the ground. One particular sentence inspired me to write this story, "Terrible were the omens, for headless men rose up and fought against one another". The concept of the dead fighting each other while a horrific war was happening was something that I wanted to elaborate on further. The Undying Battle An ancient prophecy of old once spoke of the days to come, of a great horror and darkness that would befall upon the world. The prophecy read:   A day will come when the bonds of blood will break.   Mothers' sons locked in celestial conflict.   Endless darkness will fall upon the sky,   and a disease will inflict those already gone...
