Thoughts on Technology and Tools

-
Technology and I have always had an interesting relationship. While I really enjoy using tools on the internet to explore and create, I sometimes struggle to keep my online presence organized. The fact that all the details of this class are so clearly laid out on different websites is very helpful, because I always know where to find assignments and course information. I am very familiar with bookmarking (I have hundreds of tabs saved so that I can attempt to find things when I need them) and I use pinterest regularly as a sort of online cookbook (I have sections organized based on different food categories). I am very intrigued by the graphics creation and image editing tools. I love playing around with graphic design and formatting pictures in unique ways, and one of my goals this semester is to become more well versed in this.

It was fascinating to analyze the differing perspectives of the history books versus the people themselves. Although having two majors has proved challenging at times, I am very grateful to be able to pu...

Day after day, Draupadi found herself confined to the women's quarters of king Virata's palace, performing  the ritual tasks of a s airandhri .  She longed to roam the magnificent halls and sneak out into the gardens, to breathe in the rich scent of the earth and drink the sunlight. The marble walls began to feel as if they were closing in on her, and she became a prisoner among the gold fixtures and jeweled ornaments.  Each day resembled the next. Every morning Draupadi rose before the sun to help the women of the palace dress and prepare for the day ahead. She wound her hands through hundreds of royal ringlets and sculpted the clay of their faces, creating the statuesque beauties that were beholden throughout the kingdom. She applied pigments that made their features come alive, and it could indeed be said that all the rosy cheeks glimpsed at court were the work of the artist Draupadi.  One of the women always lingered slightly longer in Draupadi's care.
