Traditionally, I split my reflections into two paragraphs.
The first is usually about my personal life and the second is about class.
Changing things up, the first paragraph or so of my reflection will now follow
the story of a young space pirate. Placed in the year 1938 in the W-galaxy,
this fictional tale will detail the struggles R-sim faces while attempting to
conquer the course realm in the chase of acquiring The Key of Doncic. The Key
of Doncic holds supreme power. The only way to bring balance to the galaxy is
to find it. In his search for the key, our protagonist will journey far and
learn a lot. Follow weekly to see if he ever finds what he is looking for.
Our journey begins as R-sim
makes his way to the planet AUx1. Located close to the moon of Asbury, AuX1 is
a small and relatively useless planet. Shortly after making his initial
landing, R-sim is approached by several local advisors. These advisors are the
chief rulers of the planet AUx1. In possession of the coordinates for the rest
of the course realm, the advisors will be vital in R-sim’s search for The Key
of Doncic. In exchange for the coordinates, R-sim agrees to 15 grueling weeks
of “useless, mind-numbing training” (direct quote from R-Sim). Providing R-Sim
with the locations of various medical bays and spiritual gurus, the
“mind-numbing” training will be essential in R-Sim’s future success exploring the
W-galaxy. After fulfilling training requirements, the advisors award R-Sim the
Alpha-Plus badge along with the coordinates to the next planet – Galactical
Writing 101.

Class this week was excellent! I am finding this book about
Columbus to be quite interesting. We talked a lot about ignorance and whether
it was chosen or just a product of the times. I still believe it was chosen.
Those who claimed it was a product of the times used the crew’s similar
behavior as a central point of contention. Summarizing the first paragraph on
page 22, Columbus basically threatens to cut the tongues, fine 10k maravedis,
and give 100 lashes to anyone who speaks contrary to him. This threat is enough
to suppress anyone’s behavior. Subsequently, the assertion that since the crew acted
like him, ignorance is a product of the time is invalid. I look forward to
dissecting this next chapter and discussing it!
