Week 8 Reading and Writing

My reading and writing have been good. On top of my other course work, it has been some work to get it completed, but it has still been a good experience. I am happy with the blog. I've never used it before so I didn't have any expectations prior to using the blog. The same goes for my project website. The writing has been good as well. I thought it might be tough to come up with stories, but it has been relatively easy to start my story and finish it. I consider my biggest accomplishment in the class to be completing the required readings. I read through the books and it did take some time, but I was able to complete it with all my additional work. My favorite reading has been the Ramayana. My reading notes help me immensely with my writing. It is super helpful to have it there with me to write my stories so I can remember the piece that I am trying to write about. My reading strategies are to go over comma splicing, thoroughly reading through my story, and splitting up my paragraphs to make my ideas more concise.

I chose this photo because in the Ramayana this was the coolest battle scene. I really enjoyed the imagery that R.K. used in the story because it makes you seem like you are there in person.  

I don't think there is anything else that I have to comment on looking forward. I am getting what I need out of the class.

Introduction to Casey Buller not Bueller

Hi, my name is Casey Buller. I am currently a fourth year and graduate this spring! My major is Chemical Biosciences with a minor in Religious Studies. My future plans consist of pursuing either a medical degree or a master's degree and then going on to pursue a medical degree. Currently, though, I am just trying to graduate like the rest of us. I've always enjoyed science and the knowledge it provides humans to explain the intricacies of this world. I have always been interested in religion and it is more of just a "for fun" thing for me to do so I am not constantly bombarded with science course; I have some variety in my life. Outside of my studies I enjoy doing many different fun things. I go rock climbing three times a week, read books (other than my normal assigned texts), cook, and backpack/hiking. Currently, I am reading Crime and Punishment  by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Prince of Medicine: Galen in the Roman Empire  by Susan P. Mattern. They're really gre

Favorite Places

My two favorite places that I will be discussing are the Colorado Rocky Mountains and Central Park in NYC. Backpacking is just one of my many hobbies and I recently took a trip to the Rocky Mountains and backpacked for a week there. It was absolutely fantastic! There is nothing like camping and being outdoors away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Heaven is truly a place on earth when you're outdoors.  This is a picture of Hallett Peak and Dream Lake. (Hallett Peak and Dream Lake: NPS ) From my trip to NYC over the summer, Central Park was one my favorite places. It was amazing to me that in such an active city, there were still places that you could go that made you feel like you weren't in the city. It was also cool to see so many people taking advantage of the public space doing all sorts of activities. Whenever I go back to NYC, Central Park will be a definite go to place to visit again. Here is one of the many pictures that I took of Central Park.
