Hera and Athena

So I faced some of my fears yesterday, snakes being one of them. My boyfriend has 2 Ball Pythons and I was terrified of them at first. Hera is about 4 1/2 ft long and Athena is about 2 ft long. Hera was moving around a lot under the heat lamp so I was able to really see her. It constantly felt like she was looking at me, but I eventually got used to her slithering around throughout the enclosure. I would like to challenge those who see this to try something outside of their comfort zone today or this week. Just try something that makes you a bit anxious, like asking a question in class or saying hello to someone who intimidates you a little bit. Having a little anxiety is actually healthy and can lead to great things.

M.C. Escher

"Waterfall" Picture from: http://www.mcescher.com/gallery/most-popular/waterfall/ When I first graduated from high school in 2011, I went to Southeast MO State for a semester. I had to take an intro course, similar to what is offered at SCC, but each section had a different theme. I was interested in "Mathematics in Art" so many of my favorite artists I learned about in that class. M.C. Escher created many different works of art, but his "impossible constructions" are what caught my attention. As you can see, the water is clearly falling from the top left tower but is rising up through a series of chutes. This is technically impossible do to the work of gravity. However, Escher had such a creative mind that he didn't follow natural laws in his works and that made him a place in artistic history.

Fun in the Sun...

I went on my first trip by myself last week to Fort Myers, FL. I know what you're probably thinking 'why would you want to go on a trip by yourself? what did you do the whole time?' I ended up going to the beach everyday which was the reason I went on a trip by myself in the first place. I had delicious seafood, spent way too much money, and got a tomato-red sunburn while there. However, I have never felt so relaxed and ready for the semester to begin. Here's a picture of paradise (that I took with my camera :) ) for when you're also feeling stressed!
