Week 8 Progress

I was looking for the classic "Hang in there" kitty poster, but this called to me by name. Lol.

I am of two minds about my progress in this class. On one hand, I am on track to get an A in this class, which is lovely. However, I am also only on track to get an A. I will have a class that takes up the last third of the semester, which I have failed previously and am retaking in order to graduate at the end of the semester. It's fairly time-intensive, as is this class, and I had been hoping to finish this class early so that I could focus my time on that class. However, I have struggled to find the time to do enough extra credit assignments to finish early. My weekly routine is fine, though I do have a habit of not starting my assignments until the night they're due, which can occassionally lead me to missing an assignment. I'm not sure about the late policy, so I haven't even attempted to submit a late assignment. I'm pretty happy with my blog and website, thouugh.

If anything, I would like to try and get ahead a little bit again. I can try over spring break. That will help with my other goal of starting assignments before the night they're due.

    Alex,

    I love the image you chose for this post! I can absolutely relate. I feel like "hang in there" has basically been my motto this entire semester. I also understand feeling like you do not have enough time to do extra credit assignments offered throughout the week. I have endured similar trials. I have found that aiming to do one extra credit in addition to the assignment you have due a particular date has somewhat helped me to get more extra credit assignments completed.

Hi! My name is Alex. I'm a senior mechanical engineering major. With any luck, I will graduate this semester. After I graduate, I hope to go to grad school at CU Boulder, to get a degree in mechanical engineering with a research focus of robotics and systems design. As you may be able to guess, I love robots. I have been part of the competitive robotics team for four years now, and am currently the president. You can check us out here if you're interested in seeing what we do, but here's a few pictures anyway because I think they're neat. The early stages of this year's IEEE bot. A prototype of his year's RoboMagellan bot. I also work with robots. I work for the KISS Institute of Practical Robotics, where I get to teach kids about coding and robots, which is ridiculously cool, and a ton of fun. I also build the controllers the kids use, but that's not nearly as interesting or fun. I'm also an officer for Engineers' Club. We do lots o...

Week 7 Story, The Sphinx

The Regal and Proud Sphinx. ( Source ) Once, long long ago, when the world was filled with more mystery and magic, a group of hunters wandered the woods. They were pursuing a deer they had wounded when they came upon a pond in the woods. They thirsted, as they had been pursing the deer for many hours. One knelt to take a drink when a voice resounded through the clearing the pond resided in. "Answer me my queries before you take of my water." The hunter was strong and proud, and was not one to be told what to do or how to act. He cupped the water to his lips, and instantly fell down, dead. The other hunters drew back. Some fled, thinking the site was haunted or cursed. Some simply suspected the water was poisoned and ignored their thirst. But the youngest, who perhaps had more curiosity than sense, stepped forward and said "I will answer your questions." Out of the woods stalked a sphinx. It sat proudly at the edge of the water, the tip of its tail fli...
