Week 7 Extra Credit Reading Part B: Twenty-Two Goblins

Twenty-Two Goblins translation by Arthur Ryder

I started this story last semester and never got around to finishing it. I am not sure that I like the ending. I wanted to know if the puzzles had a right answer or if they were just left to interpretation. At the ending the folklore said, "O King, so be it. And I will tell you something more. Listen. When anyone tells or hears with proper respect even a part of these puzzle-stories, he shall be immediately free from sin. And wherever these stories are told, elves and giants and witches and goblins and imps shall have no power." I am glad I am free from sin now. I enjoyed the puzzles and the fact that the goblin possessed a body that was cut down from a tree every day.
I want to continue from the conclusion and make the story have a better ending. I felt unfulfilled and disappointed. I liked that the King cut off the monk’s head in the conclusion. In the info section it says that, “This unit contains only single-page stories, plus a frametale that connects them all together.” The frametale is a bit difficult to keep up with because there is so much involved with the puzzles.

Week 11 EC: Back up and Review

Part One: Done Part Two: I checked my progress in the class. I am not too happy about it, but I will get more extra credit done in order to make up for it. :) Part Three: I am included in the project stack. Sweet! I follow dharma. Fighting for the meek is in my blood. I do not hate people. Forgiveness is important. Video: I had to watch Conjunction Junction for my video pick. I grew up with it. I am not sure if this college generation still watched it or not. I would always have to watch Schoolhouse Rock videos when it rained outside or if we had a substitute teacher in elementary school. It is sad, but I still do not know all of the words to the Conjunction Junction song. "Out of the frying pan and into the fire." I will have to watch more Schoolhouse Rock videos. I was blessed.

Growth Mindset, "Not Yet"

Growth Mindset The Growth Mindset. I have never heard of the growth mindset or Carol Dweck until now. I can understand why people support her ideas and learning tools. These videos bring a whole new world to kids and some adults who have seen learning or work one way their whole life. She thinks outside of the box and beyond. I would love to take what I have learned from these videos and apply it to the subjects that I am struggling with. If we all keep working at a certain task or subject, I believe that we can all have the "not yet" perspective on life. I was diagnosed with ADD about a year and a half ago. Before transferring to OU, classes were not that difficult for me at previous colleges. When I came to OU, I realized that I do not understand more difficult concepts as fast as everyone else. My short term memory is also lacking and memorization can be tough. But when I look at subjects with a more positive view than the alternative, I tend to ...
