On Assignments

Online classes have been...hit-and-miss for me. I like the flexibility and how fast you can finish the classes. Sometimes, they are set up really nicely and the professor is clear on when assignments are due, what assignments are due, what their grading policies are, etc. Other times, not so much. I think some professors forget that students are also taking other classes and assume the students are free to study for their class at any time (because it's online)...Happily, I can say that this is one of the former. The assignments are detailed and well explained, and the due dates, though flexible, are clear.

I like the extra credit assignments! The Wikipedia Trails one sounds interesting, similar to another game called "The Wiki Game," but without a clear destination. I'm looking forward to that one. I think the most interesting start-finish combination I have had from "The Wiki Game" was barbiturate (nervous system depressants) to Bill Russell (a famous basketball player). It was a challenge, that's for sure.

Hello, It's Me, Smith T

Image
My name is Smith. I know your first question: "What?? That's your first name?" 99.3% of people I've met have had this exact same conversation with me. I believe this is how the story goes: I was born in Bangkok, Thailand in July 1997. My mother is a native Thai, and my father is from Burma (which I believe is now called Myanmar). They had set their minds and their hearts to go the US eventually to make sure their kids had a good education and a better opportunity at a good life. Thus, to make sure I fit in, they looked up the most common English names. Unfortunately, the one they found happened to be a last name. And so, to this day, I have never met another man named Smith. Here's a picture of my parents, taken on a trip back to Thailand last summer. They're pretty cool people: (Surat Thani, Thailand) Fun fact, though: Martin van Buren's (the eighth US president's) youngest son was named Smith! So indirectly, I guess I'm pretty famous, tho...

Week 11 Story: Choraya's Diary

Image
Choraya's Diary, Entry 1, Tula 12: Oh, how I've waited for tomorrow - the day of my marriage! The harvest is over, the weather is cooling, and I finally get to be married to the woman of my dreams. She is beautiful as the lilies, and as radiant as the stars. How lucky am I to be joined to her for the rest of my life. I cannot wait!! Maybe twenty years from now, I can present this diary to our children, as a memento and record of the beginning of our lives together. Kushi is actually with child, though her parents and I are the only ones who know. We even have a name! Roshanee, the light of our worlds. The location - the city of Kurukshetra, which she believes is blessed by the gods, so that blessing will transfer into our marriage. I certainly hope so, too. Choraya's Diary, Entry 2, Tula 13: Good morning! Today's the day, and I'm so nervous. Over the past 8 years, Kushi and I have come to know each other pretty well, I think. But as Baba always told us, ...
