Topic Research over Weather Gods

 At the counsel of our professor, I have decided to have my story take place at a party being thrown by Indra. I believe this ties in close enough with my original idea for the story, as well as giving it a different view. Initially I was going to have the four gods competing for best tale against one another, but this setting gives them adequate reason to simply share tales with one another and marvel at each other's power. 

One source I have not accessed yet but hope to towards the goal of showing off these gods is one that was also recommended by our professor: Indra And Vritra: The Demon Who Terrorized the Gods. This book is said to, and I quote, "show Indra in full weather mode," so I hope to be able to use the story in it!

 The story I have chosen to use for Thor is that of his duel with the giant Hrungnir. This story will add a bit of comedic value to the party scene I have laid out, but will also do well to highlight Thor's power.

 For Zeus, I'm choosing to have his part start out as him bragging about his many affairs, only to be brought humble by an eavesdropping Hera. Hera may even take a few shots at his manhood while the other gods are listening.

Introduction to a Math Majoring Gamer

Image
(Personal Image from cellphone) Hey everyone, my name is Jacob, and I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in mathematics. I'll say this, the major is not for the faint of heart. Upper level math courses are pretty difficult! But that's enough about school, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am twenty-one years old and am currently dating my girlfriend of almost 5 years, Rachel. We have plans to move in together next summer and are working towards that goal. My hobbies include video games, playing soccer, and planning. By planning I mean organizing events and recruiting teams for local leagues. This fall, I recruited two teams to play in OKLCS (Oklahoma League Championship Series), which is an Oklahoma organization that hosts competitive play between teams in League of Legends. I love playing soccer competitively, and can't really play for recreation or I get too competitive. I have five pets, two dogs and three cats. Really only two of

Week 14 Story: The Businessman, the Crook, and the Bobby

(Eyes Crazy Funny from  Pixabay ) Author's Note: For this story, I chose to recreate the Italian tale of the Man, the Serpent, and the Snake. They key elements of the story are still there, but in this case I chose to replace the characters in the story with humans, and place it in modern day Britain. This gives the story, in my opinion, a more humanistic feel (obviously, I mean, it's with humans instead of animals). The characters of the horse and greyhound are portrayed a little differently though. One key term that is good to know is "bobby". In this case it is not a name, but rather a term that is used in the UK for a police officer sometimes. One day, a businessman was on his morning walk to work. As he strolled by the coffee shop he frequented, he noticed a Crook chained to a nearby lamp post. "Oi, mate, help me out o' this jam wouldja?" The crook asked the man. "Absolutely not you dimwit," the man started, "If
