Keeping Up with AMORE

BCA month. Source: pixabay . I realized I have not reflected on the past few weeks of school on my blog; therefore, I will make an update. I do not remember these past few weeks clearly, but I will try my best to go into detail on what I do remember. I believe I have had quite a few exams these past few weeks and I actually studied ahead of time this time around, and it definitely showed through my grades. I wished I did this earlier in the school year, so I would not have to push myself so hard towards the end of the semester. I believe I am slowing reaching my goal for this class as well. Slowly but surely! I am getting better each week at completing ever assignment and doing extra credit as well for the past points I have missed from the other weeks. BCA month has just ended as well, which lifted a lot of stress from my plate. I joined a sorority last semester and was able to experience my first breastfest. Not going to lie, it was very stressful but I enjoyed the experience I ...

The Dishonest Friend A man went on a journey and he asked his friend to take care of the plough until he returns The friend promised to take great care of it; however, as soon as the man left, he sold the man's plough and kept the money The man came back from his journey and asked for the plough back The friend explained that his house got infested with rats and one night, a very big rat came by and ate the plough up One day the man took the friend's boy for a walk and hid him in this house and said he was not to leave until he came back The man went back to his friend and the friend panicked and basically accused him of murdering his son The man told him a hawk carried him away but the friend did not believe him They took this to the court and the judge said "Who ever heard of a hawk carrying off a boy?" Then the man said out of pettiness "And who ever heard, my lord, of a rat eating a plough?" After this, the plough and the son was returned to ...

This picture reminded me of my childhood. Source: pxhere . Last week, I had a reminder set up everyday towards the end of the day to remind me to write something that made me happy that day. I am glad I was able to do this experiment because looking back on it today, it made me really happy because this school semester has been really stressful for me. I think once the year 2020 hits, I am going to try to do this everyday and see what happens. I really hope I am able to keep up with it!

Dream big... and dare to fail. This represents me because I set big goals and always fail to achieve them. I noticed that if I set smaller goals and take baby steps to reaching the big end goal, I am able to achieve them a lot easier. I feel like this applies to many people as well.  Connect with others to reduce stress. Personally, I like telling people about my stresses, but at the same time I don't as well. I work better when I am under stress and telling people about my stress helps. However, I'm not going to get anywhere if I don't stop yapping my mouth and actually doing something to relieve the stress.

Lion on a hill . The Foolhardy Wolf There was a lion who ate all of the buffalo meat he wanted  After eating he went to take a nap, which is when he stumbled across a hungry wolf The wolf knew he had no chance against the lion, so he threw himself at the lion The wolf asked him to be the lion's servant and serve him The lion told the wolf, "Each day you must go to the mountain top, and see whether there are any elephants, or ponies, or buffalos about. If you see any, come to me and say: 'Great Lion, come forth in thy might. Food is in sight.' Then I will kill and eat, and give part of the meat to you" The wolf did as he was told and eventually he grew big and strong The wolf became confident in his ability to kill; therefore, he wanted to prove to the lion he could, so he attempted to kill an elephant The lion told the wolf, "Wolf, only Lions can kill elephants. The world has never seen a Wolf that could kill an elephant. Give up this notion of...

The Three Fishes 3 fishes named Thoughtful, Very-Thoughtful, and Thoughtless Very-Thoughtful warned the other two fish that danger is near the river they just moved to and that they should move back to the country river where no men lived Thoughtful & Thoughtless kept putting off their going from day to day Thoughtful and Thoughtless swam ahead of Very-Thoughtful and got caught in the net Very-Thoughtful saw this happened and saved them The two other fishes thanked Very-Thoughtful and they went back to the river country 3 Fishes.
