Learning by Heart: Desk stretches

https://hbr.org/2015/12/6-yoga-exercises-you-wont-be-embarrassed-to-do-at-your-desk?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=harvardbiz It's funny because before I even read this article I already do some of these exercises in class. My favorite one to do already in the chair turns because it cracks my back. I'm gonna try the neck one because my neck always hurts when I sit in one place for a while.

Biography: Childhood room

My childhood bedroom looked like a kid's bedroom was mixed in with a 1980's western movie. When you walk in the first thing you see is my big cow rug. I don't know why I had a big cow rug because it's not like I had a ranch or that I lived out on a farm but I had one. The next thing you would see was my bunk beds pushed up against the wall. The sheets were navy blue and the bed frame was wood that was shaped like a tree. If you looked upon the ceiling I had those super cheesy glow up stars that would light up at night. The last important thing I had was a small tv placed in the corner. The tv had no function except to play games on my GameCube which I would play pretty much everyday.

Extra Credit Reading Notes "Nachiketa a collection of stories from the Upanishads"

I decided to read "Nachiketa a collection of stories from the Upanishads". The first story is about a boy named Nachiketa who is occupied with a bunch of spiritual questions. One day when the boy's pet deer dies he wonders if there is life after death. His dad gets furious at him and sends him down to the god of death Yama. Down there Yama grants the boy three wishes. The boy's three wishes were to make his father happier, for him to be rode of hunger and thirst and for Yama to answer the question if there is life after death. After the boy gets his wishes he is sent back home. Another story is about a different young boy named Satyakama who goes and studies Gautama. Gautama sends him on a journey with cows and one of the bulls tells Satyakama where Brahma is. Bibliography:  Nachiketa: A Collection Of Stories From The Upanishads  (Volume 702). Yama

One day King Kong began to notice that his wife was bringing him a lot of joy, however, King Kong believed that it was selfish for him to experience any type of joy or pleasure for all of that should be reserved for his tribe. With this in mind, King Kong decided to ban his wife from the tribe forever. King Kong's wife Blitz was heartbroken and ran off to the deep dark jungle to find a place to stay. While in the deep dark jungle Blitz ran into a family of wild hogs and asked if she could stay with them for a while. While staying with the hogs Blitz found out she was pregnant and gave birth to two twin monkeys named Ralph and Albert and called them the Ape brothers. While growing up the Ape brothers learned about stories of the great King Kong but no one ever...

Reading Notes: The sons of Rama

The Story starts at the very end of the normal Ramayan story. Rama exiles his wife Sita when she is pregnant because Rama believed that he should have no happiness and all happiness should be for his people. So Sita goes and takes refuge at some person's house where she has two twin boys. The person tells the twins all the story's about Rama but leaves out that Rama is their father. One day when Rama was to perform a horse ritual the horse ran away and the twins caught it. Rama sends multiple people to go get the horse back but every time they get defeated. Rama finds out that the twins are his sons and faints and also asks Sita to come back but she refuses and goes to live with her mother Twins Bibliography:  The Sons of Rama: Luv and Kush — The Invincible Twins  (Volume 503).
