Wikipedia Trails

Surya
I started at the wikipedia page for the son god in Surya, which I came across in someone's story. The fight between the sun and the moon is cool.
Sun
From there I went to the page about the sun as I find the sun to be incredibly interesting in every aspect. I mainly focused my reading here on the religious aspects portion as that is most relevent to this class. It is interesting to see the different takes on the sun in each culture, but in each on the god of the sun is incredibly powerful. Also that sunday is the day of the sun god in christian studies, which makes sense why church is held on sundays.
Aztec
 Next I went to the Aztec culture, as anything that has to do with ancient cultures fascinates me. The aztecs had equality between women and men, which is incredibly interesting to see in an ancient civilazation.
Obsidian
The last page I went too, I decided to have some fun and clicked on obsidian, which was a little underwhelming to be honest. I was hoping for more on the subject, although it was interesting to see it is actually useful in everyday life.

Introduction into a Regular Joe's Life

Hello all, my name is Zach and this is a story all about how my life got turned upside down. i.e college. I started out college believing it would be easy, like most people I imagine. Then I realized I was dumb and knew nothing and actually had to study for exams. It wasn't until my junior year that I really figured out how to college. I have a dual major in mechanical engineering and computer science that I will be completing over 5 years, I'm currently in my fourth, unless I fail something, then I'll probably just drop one of them and graduate. My biggest accomplishment last year was keeping a reasonable sleep schedule, which made me realize that sleep is actual important for being able to retain information. Over break I went on a road trip to Yosemite National Park, which was literally the most gorgeous place I've ever seen in my life filled with some incredible and interesting people. It was a good mental break from the stress of life. Here's a picture of me ta

Mountain's are my favorite place

There are few places that make us feel smaller than we are, but one of those places is being on a mountain. A small speck on an enormous rock. To hike and climb to the top of these giants evokes emotions throughout the journey. Starting out at the bottom looking up at this beautiful monstrosity prepared for the strenuous journey ahead. Once the journey begins it is not difficult, but rather quite easy, mile by mile up the rock. Moments pass and the intensity of the hike relays to my legs. It becomes difficult, step by step up a giant. Trying not to let the fatigue take over me. Internalizing the definition of tenacity as best I can. Passing those who have already experienced the strain I am going through. Until there is no one left to pass by me. I am atop this enormous beauty, overlooking the specs in the valley below. Nothing has ever made me love this world we live in more than experiencing the beauty within it. That's why I will choose to experience the same strenuous cli
