Mythology Blog Fall 2019

I tried to create a favicon using the same Huitzilipoochtli image I used for my Canvas profile pic, because I'm boring and I like him, but for some reason, I don't think it's working for me? I followed the steps listed in the instructions but whenever I click preview, it still shows the orange blogger square thing? I don't know if I'm somehow doing something wrong? I used two different favicon generators that I found. I just chose the first two that appeared on google, I downloaded both files and used several of the images in each but none of them managed to change my favicon. I even tried using the one that ended in file type .ico several times but nothing seems to work? pls help

This week's videos were very interesting. They talked about the African, Norse, and Indian pantheons. Each is incredibly complex and there is a lot of material to take in. I expected to know the most about the Norse one from what I had seen on TV, but I guess I shouldn't be too quick to trust Hollywood to be historically precise. I didn't know Thor had red hair, Odin had several more kids than I knew about, and Thor's mom was the Earth? I really enjoyed learning about the mythology of the Yoruba people from West Africa. We are learning about them in my African Repercussions class and the professor had mentioned the Orisha to us in class and how they basically possess some human bodies in these sacred rituals. There's a lot going on there as well. I really enjoy learning more mythology through these videos. The videos are put together really well and I love the animations. Link to videos

This semester has definitely felt like a long staircase for me. Image from:  https://www.yourtango.com/2019324469/list-inspirational-quotes-college-students I’m not too happy with the progress I’ve made. Throughout the semester I’ve attended a couple of research conferences and I’ve fallen behind in the class. There’s a lot of room for improvement in my weekly routine, I often do things last minute and I want stop that habit. The class assignments I enjoy the most are definitely the reading ones, learning all the different stories is really cool to me. I try to use as much extra credit as I can based on how much time I have lol, I really enjoy the crash course videos, they’re really informative and entertaining. I think my blog and website are going pretty good? Like I said earlier, I want to get in a better routine of doing the assignments. I’ve just been so busy this semester it’s hard to keep track of everything. What’s definitely messed me up in the past is not doing th...

I thought this image was cute and accurate.

I've seen some posts where people comment on grammar, plot, or word choice. Some of them are really really good, and they provide me with ideas for future stories or help me fix the current ones. The ones I find most useful have to be the ones dealing with grammar. I'm not a writer, and I never have been, so my grammar is not the best and it may make my writing messy or hard to understand. The feedback that helps correct my grammar helps me avoid confusing paragraphs. Feedback out I'd have to admit that the feedback I leave isn't as good as the ones I receive. If there's part in the story where I get confused I'll let the writer know, but other than that all I really do is compliment the p...
