Famous Last Words: Missing My Best Friend

I wanted to use this last word option this week to remind myself now and later what I’ve been through and that I’m still okay. Last week I found out that my best friend of eleven years took her life. I was a week ahead in this class until I got the news. I’m thankful that I’ve been able to keep going, but goodness that was hard. I think I want to just talk about some memories and who she was a person.
Every day I think of something new that I want to talk to her about. I mean we talked about so much over eleven years and that’s who I want to go to. I want to talk to her about my job, about the customers I deal with, my co-workers. She worked there first and it’s crazy that I can never gripe about everything with her again.
She loved green beans. Really, I think she lived off of those. Once we were watching a show together and we passed a bowl of green beans back and forth. That was our snack. She showed me the video games Orochi and Animal Crossing. Not that I play video games very much, but I’ll forever connect those to her.
She loved her books and her cat. She introduced me to so many books. We became friends when we were in fifth grade and she basically shoved all her favorite books at me and made me read them. She introduced me to Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. Then in junior high, we found mangas like Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, and Fairy Tail.

I always talked to her about my boy problems, though she never had much of those. I was usually the one to jump head first into something and she was more cautious because she just didn’t care as much about boys or the like. And that was just her and I miss her every day.

    I am so sorry about the loss of your friend. I will be keeping you in my thoughts as this week goes by. It is always hard losing someone you love, but I want you to know that I am here to support you. I think the picture of the green beans is beautiful because of those moments you shared with your friend. The way you described your friend, she sounds like a great person who has impacted peoples lives. If you need someone to talk to about it, I and other people are here to listen. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Tech Tip: Word Counter

I've been doing the whole type everything into Microsoft Word and then copy and paste it into whatever I'm doing. I get more and more tired of doing that as the weeks go by and I wish I would have known Word Counter was an option. I've been taking online classes since my senior year in high school and I feel like it would've helped a lot with my billion discussion boards. I think this will be very useful, and I'm excited to see how it will help me with the rest of this class.

Week 6 Story: Ekalavya's Misfortune

Image
They ask me who I am. "I am a pupil of Drona," I say. The whisper amongst themselves. Until I hear them say, "Call for Drona. Call for Drona." Before Drona arrives, I make the decision that I will do whatever must be done to have some good fortune for my name. It isn't fair that I wasn't born to wealth and that eliminates my rights. Drona approaches me saying, "I have heard a word that you claim yourself to be my pupil." I nod my head. "Yes, ask of me anything and I shall deliver." Drona thinks for a second. "Chop off thy right thumb, for that is what I must have of you." I nod, and with a smile and my head held high grab for my knife. I place my hand on a tall rock nearby and quickly slice my thumb from my right hand. The blood begins to gush and quickly I rip a piece of my garment off to wrap my severed hand in. I turn to hand my prized thumb to Drona. And then it hits me. How might I have any skill left witho...
