Time Strategies

     This post is dedicated to exploring time strategies. 

    I am lucky to have a job that falls under the "work-study" umbrella. That means that I am able to do my homework at work. This really helps me ensure that I have time to do my homework penciled into my day. In fact, I am doing it right now, and have been doing it here at work for the last 3 hours. This is a schedule that usually allows me to get everything done and get it done early. 

    For my article, I read Realistic Study Plans by Amanda Collins. I thought she had some good points about leaving completed goals on your to-do list to improve your morale. I think it's really important to stay motivated and this might be just the way to do it! I am really good at making my own pace and getting things done. That being said, this semester with all the online classes I think I'm going to thrive.

Story source: Household Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm , translated by Margaret Hunt (1884). Plot: The children Hansel and Grethel arrived back at their father's house by the way of the stones.  The step-mother answered the door and pretended to be excited to see them. The father actually was glad to see them.  After some time, the mother suggested the same plan because the family was once again out of food.  Hansel again heard the conversation and went to pick up stones as he did the first time. However, the step-mother had locked the door. Instead, the next day, Hansel dropped balled up bits of bread to follow back to the house.  When the night fell they were unable to find the crumbs left behind. Animals and other creatures had eaten the bread set behind them.  The two were lost and without any food.  They eventually passed out under a tree and that is where the story ends.  Thoughts: This section was again pretty similar to the first. I had...

Plot: In the middle of his life doanta was faced with a dark thick wood. he wants to tell of what he saw in there. he made it to an opening and at the foot of an incline his path was blocked by a lepard.  dantae was afraid. he turned back to the depths he came from and was met with VIrgil. Virgil was a man who lived in rome under agustus.  Virgil aked why Dantae is going back to the wood. Dantae had heard of the great poet VIrgil and was a huge fan. Dantae started crying. Virgil knew of the lepard. Virgil sayd it is vishious and does not tolerate men.  Virgil says it might be smarter if Dantae just follows him as a guide. So, the two move on together. Thoughts, I did not appreciate the verbiage used in this text. I appreciate the time period but the way things were describe in such ambiguous terms made it difficult for me to tell what was going on. I think if i were to write it i would use lamesn terms...

Week 15 Story

Story source: Household Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm , translated by Margaret Hunt (1884). Story: There once was a boy was called Hansel, and a girl named Grethel. Their parents had fallen on hard times and could no longer procure daily bread. Their father tossed and turned all night, stressed, wondering where he might find some food to feed his children in the morning. He groaned and said to his wife, "What is to become of us? How are we to feed our poor children, when we no longer have anything even for ourselves?" "I'll tell you what, husband," answered the woman. "Early tomorrow morning, we will take the children out into the forest to where it is the thickest; there we will light a fire for them, and give each of them one piece of bread more, and then we will go to our work and leave them alone. They will not find the way home again, and we shall be rid of them." The father stared at his wife blankly. "Well husband, what say you?...
