Reading: Mahabharat part C

1. Pandavas are not put into exile just like Rama was. The Pandavas run into many different creatures and people and hear about their stories
2. Krishna leaves and pays a visit to the Pandavas while they are in exile.
3. Arjuna must go on his own once again. The first time he went alone is when he hogged the Pandavas wife and no he's alone to go collect weapons for his family for after their exile
4.  Arjuna goes to Swarga which ends up being Indra's home (Indra is Arjuna's father). There Arjuna meets Urvashi
5. Now the story goes back on to the other 4 Pandava brothers. The brothers decide to climb the Himalayas where Arjuna meets them.
6. Hanuman is still alive as this story is told and Hanuman goes to meet with his half brother.
7. Duryodhana is preparing to kill Arjuna once the Pandavas are finished with their exile
8. Indra is trying to protect his son Arjuna from Karna who was born in armor and had earrings of invincibility. Indra takes Karna's earrings and armor
9. Draupadi is terrified because she is a woman exiled by herself.
10. The Pandavas brothers begin talking to a hidden voice that is able to answer their questions
11. It is the final year of exile for the Pandavas, however, one of the requirements was for the brothers to remain out of sight for one more year.
12. Draupadi gets raped and none of her husbands come to help her. But Bhima saves Draupadi and says it was her husband who saved her
13. When Duryodhana and his allies attack King Virata and steal his cattle, the Pandavas will come to his defense
14. Pandavas are now finished with their exile and the only thing to do now is go to war with the Kauravas. However, Krishna does not want the two fractions to fight.
15. Krishna and Arjuna's relationship gets put on the spot and with the option for an army or Krishna, Arjuna chooses Krishna.
16. Krishna wants peace between the two fractions and tries again. He even manifests himself in his divine form as Vishnu.
17. Karna's situation is both fascinating and tragic: as the war with the Pandavas draws near, he still does not know that they are his brothers. That, however, is about to change: Krishna reveals to Karna the secret of his birth and tells him to go to the Pandavas in peace, assuring him that they will not only accept him but regard him as their elder brother.
18. The war is about the start and there are two sides. You are fighting either for Duryodhana and the Kauravas or for Yudhishthira and the Pandavas.
19. Before the war is about to begin Arjuna looks across the battlefield and sees his brothers and elders but Krishna still convinces him to fight for the other side.
20. Bhishma is the general of the Kaurava forces but, as you will see, he does not feel the same loyalty to Duryodhana that Karna does, and he warns Duryodhana of the doom that awaits them.

Introduction to Carver's life

Hi, I'm Carver Ramey and I am currently a junior here at OU. My major is Finance and I would say the coolest part of my major is I got to go study abroad last summer and take a finance and accounting class. The best class I took last semester would be Philosophy because I was able to work ahead and complete the course two weeks before it was due. After I graduate from OU I want to go to work somewhere in the real estate field. This summer I have an internship at a commercial real estate firm in Dallas which I am very excited about. If for some reason I don't enjoy real estate I will probably try and go to law school after graduating from OU. My favorite hobby of mine is skiing. I usually go skiing once or twice a year and I have been doing that for the past 15 years whether it's with my parents or a group of friends. To make sure I keep this streak up every summer I work and save up so I can afford to go. This winter break I went to Crested Butte with a couple of my friend...

Week 7 Story: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

It wasn't just any regular night at the MGM Grand casino it was the night the 5 sons of the billionaire Alfred Hunter the inventor of the toothbrush. The 5 sons were there to celebrate one of their 21st birthdays. The son  whose 21st birthday  went by the name Rico. As soon as the sun went down the boys went straight to the blackjack tables. The MGM Grand casino manager knew who these boys were and knew  their large sum  of money and small knowledge of gambling techniques could win the casino a lot of money so he decided to watch them and do whatever he could to take their large fortune. As the night went on so did the partying, drink after drink these boys consumed making them even more reckless and  unstrategic  with their gambling. The manager knew it was his time to strike. The manager walked over to the group of boys and congratulated Rico on turning 21. He then went on to offer them a private gambling room with double the stakes as a birthday present ...

Learning by H.E.A.R.T Time management

One thing about this class that I need to fix is my time management. I need to not wait until Sunday night to finish all my assignments for this class because I have a lot of other work to do on Sundays. For example, I had to study for a test last night and wasn't able to finish one of my assignments because of it.
