Although I have not blogged on Blogger before, I have on WordPress. I did not care for it that much, but I am really enjoying Blogger!

Aside from the blogging platforms, I have used Google Sites before for a previous class. I enjoyed using that platform because of all of the layouts and customization it offers.

This semester, I want to develop my writing skills more, and I already know this class will be a great help in that. It is also forcing me to write more which is a great challenge for me. Another thing I would like to learn more about is different browser plugins. I had no idea there were so many out there.

As for the class as a whole, I really enjoy the environment overall. It is a lot different from any other online class I have taken--in the most positive way! The organization and detail is to a level I have never seen before, and I can tell Dr. Gibbs has taken a lot of time to develop the course.

week two story: family traditions

It was my first day at a new school in a new place, and I was not looking forward to it. I had never attended a public school, but my mom told me it was time. "Rish, you're seventeen now. You know you have to do this to carry on our family's traditions," my mother pressured. "Mom, I know," I say, slipping the fresh canvas backpack over my shoulders.

If you don't know what rakshasis are, we're creatures with the ability to lure people in, then eat them when we feel it's right. Naturally, we aren't the most attractive, with two huge fangs protruding from our mouths and a not-so petite figure. Luckily, we have the opportunity to shape shift into whatever we want. This makes luring even the least gullible very easy for us. In my family, w...

week three story: dharma's funeral

The skies were grey over the bright lotus blossoms the day of Dharma's funeral. Dharma, who had ruled the kingdom of Koshola for upwards of forty years, was the monarch of many peoples' dreams. She was kind and understanding, but, most of all, she was wise and strong-willed. The kingdom had not had any conflict since the time Dharma took the throne; she was level-headed and preferred her peace over any war. Throughout her rule, the only thing causing Dharma disdain was her daughter, Binsa. As her name suggests, Binsa was a fearless girl, so much so that it got her in trouble many times, but she was always redeemed by Dharma. As Binsa grew older, she became more like her mother everyday. Although she already possessed the agency to be the next monarch, Binsa began helping build up the kingdom's marginalized communities that desperately needed assistance. She was turning out to be a great leader, but she didn't think it would come so soon. Dharma had been sick for man...
