Learning Challenge: Time Challenge

So I've altered my original schedule a bit as I've gotten a feel for the schedules in my other classes. It appears that the majority of the time I have available for this class now falls on the weekend. As such, I will be attempting to devote about 2 hours on Tuesdays, an hour on Fridays, and about 5-6 hours on Sundays, as I kind of enjoy the extra credit options and want those built into my schedule. Tuesdays are my lightest days of the week as far as other classes go and Monday/Thursday are tied for heaviest. If I do the schedule in this new manner, I should have adequate time for everything. My Saturdays are entirely consumed with my capstone project so very little gets done in anything else on those days. 

To keep all of this managed, I actually adopted a new app this past week and it seems pretty great: Todoist. It lets me check stuff off on a list and postpone deadlines on the fly, so I've used it to schedule my assignments for all my classes for the next couple weeks as a trial. We'll see how it goes, but so far it has kept me on top of things, and I don't feel like I'm getting behind.

Introduction to the Rocket Scientist

As the title says, I am an aspiring rocket scientist. More precisely, I am Aerospace Engineering student. And that little descriptor about sums up my favorite things. I am in my final semester of college and absolutely cannot wait to graduate. I am more than ready to get into the work force and start building the future. To prepare for this future, I have done a lot of stuff in my college career. This includes, but is not limited to, building rockets, robots, and cleaning up asbestos. Don't worry, I'll explain more in a minute. Starting from the easiest thing on that list; robots. I am the vice-president of the Sooner Competitive Robotics here at OU. This means I get to be a technical adviser for each of the robotics teams and make that they have everything they need to succeed. I also get to help them when they mess up their robots, and cant get them to work right. Robots are great, but coding really kind of sucks, which is why I prefer to stick with my rockets an

Week 2 Story: The Alpaca and the Beasts

Image
In days long past, there was a great and prosperous kingdom suddenly ravaged by drought and hardship. The once green fields had turned brown, and beasts prowled the countryside. Farmers fled from their herds, leaving for the safety of the keeps. For the beasts, oxen were tough to hunt, as they banded together in large groups for protection. A lone beast watched the largest herd and had a great idea, he would have the oxen voluntarily come with him alone. "Friends!" Exclaimed the beast as he boldly approached the herd. "Why are you staying here where the grass has died? There lies a lush meadow on the far side of the forest." "Come no further beast. We know of your kinds hunger." Proclaimed the largest of the bulls. "And why would we go through that forest; it holds the den of your brothers." "I have no hunger for oxen, your meat is too tough. I think only of your well being. As for my brothers, I know a path upon which they wont
