Princess on a 28 mattress bed
source: Un-Textbook
For this weeks readings I chose to read Anderson fairy tale unit. Within this unit I will be focusing on the story "The Princess and the Pea" by Hans Christian Anderson. This story is about a prince who is longing to marry but only wants to marry a princess. The prince would search far and wide trying to find that perfect princess that he would like to marry but he never had any luck. One day though there was a terrible thunderstorm and during this storm there was a knock on the door. The door was answered and surprisingly enough a girl who said she was a princess was at the door. To prove that this girl was a princess the Queen had the girl sleep in a bed that a pea under the mattress, but there wasn't just one mattress but twenty eight mattresses and twenty eight eiderdown beds. The princess slept through the night and in the morning the queen ask how she felt. The princess said she slept terrible and that the bed was hard as a rock. The Queen then approved that she was a princess because only a princess could be so sensitive. So because of this the prince and princess got married and lived happily ever after. This story was very interesting and I was thinking I could make a more modern version but with a rich man wanting to marry a rich girl.

Chemical engineering is a really amazing degree because there are almost endless possibilities on what career paths that you can take with it and because of this i'm excited to see where this path takes me for my future career. When I'm not studying hard at school I'm usually at the gym working out. Working out is a big hobby of mine, and i enjoy doing it very much. When i'm at the gym i feel like i'm at home and nothing else matters in the world. Speaking of home, the place I really call home is in Tulsa, Oklahoma where me and my family grew up.

Alaskan lights Source:  Wikimedia Once upon a time there were seven brothers who all lived in Alaska with their mom. All the brothers loved to play a game called hopscotch. The boys loved this game so much that they would often miss or be very late to dinner because they would be playing it for so long. The boys missing dinner so much really aggravated the mother because food would go cold and sometime wasted. So one day for dinner the mom was making rice and beans and put some mud inside the dish which is what the kids used to created their hopscotch board. So when the kids came to eat that day and ate the food they immediately spit it out and ask the mother what was in it. the mother told them she put mud in it because they love playing hopscotch so much and missing dinner, so they can have hopscotch for dinner. This stunt the mom pulled angered the brothers so they all ran outside and started to do the feather dance and ask the spirits to be taken away to a new place so so th
