Context: My husband and I are arguing about his yelling at our children, to go to their rooms and be quiet, when he was trying to complete a test for one of his online classes. Interaction: Last week, my husband was taking a mid-term for one of his classes and our four children were running around the house playing a game of hide and go seek. Normally, when he sits down to work on his school work, he puts on his headphones and listens to music. This helps him concentrate and stay focused in our…

When I was younger I was very nervous and excited for the week that was approaching. This was the first time I would take care of myself for one entire week. My mom was leaving town for an ENTIRE WEEK and I had to look after the house, cook, clean and everything else that mom would do while she was here. Before she left she had triple checked everything to make sure that the house wouldn’t burn down while she was gone. Of course it wouldn 't be that difficult since my sister was still home and…

I Believe in Facing Your Fears I believe in facing your fears. I have always considered myself a fairly brave individual. I can hold a snake without flinching, climb to the tops of tall buildings, and sleep with the lights off after a scary movie. Yet, there was one thing that at the ripe young age of thirteen absolutely terrified me, and that was airplanes. As a child I heard many horror stories of catastrophic plane hijackings and crashes. It scared me to think that so many things could go…

This school year, I decided to get an off campus apartment instead of staying on campus in a dorm. It was a last minute decision, but I wanted the experience of truly being on my own. Because I waited so long to get an apartment, a lot of them were already taken. An old friend of mine introduced me a girl named Danielle the previous school year and she happened to be looking for a roommate as well. We texted and a few weeks later I was approved to move into the apartment with her. I did not…

There are currently 62 numbered tombs that have been discovered in the Valley of the Kings. Not all occupants have been identified and not all have been excavated. Epigraphy, whether done as an exact copy or done photographically, has been attempted in only 25 of these tombs (see chart 1). Of these 25, 8 do not have any epigraphic publications associated with them. Moreover, almost all KV tombs have been mentioned in a larger publication dealing with of the Valley of the Kings, namely Elizabeth…

Byzantine was an empire lost to the void of time, its memory wiped from minds of all. Lars Brownworth, an established author, tried to do justice to the book and offer a voice to the ones drowned out by the pages of history. He told the stories of a great empire that served as a ground of rebirth for a crumbling Rome, rescuing it from a certain doom, in an attempt to expose one to the history of Byzantine vast enough to rival the lands of the empire during the reign of Justinian. The author…

Hatshepsut With a ruling period of over 3000 years, Egypt has seen roughly 170 pharaohs, yet there are few outside of egyptologists that can name more than two or three off the top of their head. Not many remember these kings of the east, and it is even more difficult to when their mark on their own history was erased by their successors. Hatshepsut was one of the few, and by far one of the most successful female pharaohs in ancient Egypt. She was the first of them to seize total control of…
