Week 10 Review

So something definitely caught my eye in our announcements this week.

I love flowcharts! I felt really connected to this one because I have been talking about my procrastination problems all week. I really enjoyed that this one had some tips for me (and some useful ones at that). 

Week 9 Review

My favorite item from this week current announcements was: The European Word Map. I have looked up the word cat, because why not? I thought this was very interesting. I am always studying how cultures, religions, and ideas spread, so it was very exciting to me to extend that to languages too. It seems that the regions with a similar culture have similar spellings and even letters. This was extremely interesting!

Week 7 Review

My favorite item from this week's announcements actually was from yesterday's post!
Drum roll please.... Reading is Dangerous!
I absolutely love illustration blogs and I decided to investigate this one further. I was definitely pleased! This guy's art is amazing! Take the piece for below as an example.

Week 6 Review

I did not know that the word Nirvana was Indian! The more you know, I guess. :) I have to say the most interesting thing in the announcements, from my perspective, was the World of Languages. This is right up my alley. I love learning about cultures, globalization, languages, etc.! My studies actually have a lot to do with this type of information. (So, thanks Laura Gibbs for giving me a possible source for a later paper!) Also, wow Papua New Guinea. They speak almost 840 languages!

Week 4 Review

My favorite item from this past week's announcements is.....

Punctuation Personalities

And it may or may not be because of Laura's excellent usage of the phrase "a dash of dash".

I feel like I am personally the comma with a mix of the ellipsis. I chose the ellipsis entirely because I absolutely love to use them... even if I don't use it correctly. I may be addicted.

I included the image if anyone else wants to share what their personality punctuation symbol may be!

Week 2 Review

Even though I am in the indian Epics class rather than the Myth and folklore class, the item I found really interesting from the current announcements was Bulfinch's book of mythology. This was really fun to skim through, because I went to Italy this summer and it talked about a few of the characters I had learned about. This book would have been really helpful in answering some questions I had while I was there! I would have totally downloaded and read it if I had known about it! I didn't know that Vesta was in both Roman and Greek mythology. The temple of the Vesta in the Roman Forum was one of the most fascinating things I remember from my trip to "ancient Rome".
