Week 8 Progress

-
So far I am doing alright in terms of progress. I have a pretty set schedule. I should probably start taking advantage of the extra credit, just to boost my grade a little.

Going forward I am going to try to work on being a little more proactive and trying to get things done in the days before the due dates instead of on them.

Hang In There

He hunted every day for their food, bringing back whatever he could find, whether it was an antelope, a monkey, an ox. It was really whatever he had found that day. But today he had wanted ox, so off he had gone. But now the three women had begun to wonder where he was. Not out of necessity, but out of a combination of annoyance and boredom. The women had been gifted with special abilities. Ndoza’ntu had the power of dreams, Songa’nzila had the gift of guidance, and Fulla Fulla had the ability to raise the dead. Ndoza’ntu took a nap as a way to pass the time, and during her nap, she dreamed of their husband lying on the ground after he was attacked by an angry ox. She told the other women of her dream when she woke up. The three of them pondered what their next action should be. “I suppose we should go get him”, said N
