Assignments First Impressions

My first impression of the assignments layout is mostly positive. The two reading things is a little confusing to me, but I'm sure it will make more s3ns3 as the semester goes on. I'm also not really sure what the topics of the story writing assignment will be, but that will probably be made clear once we get the first assignments. I am not particularly fond of writing stories, but I don't dislike it either. Most of my stories will probably suck, but it is an opportunity to get better at it so we'll see how much I enjoy it.

I am pretty indifferent about the blog comments. I am hoping we get some more clarification about the project soon since it is supposed to be worked on over the course of the whole semester.

I am pretty excited about the extra credit assignments. I haven't been offered extra in more than one or two of my classes since my freshman year. This class is definitely structured way different than anything I am used to. It should be a nice change of pace.

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day. Often my favorite parts of my classes are those that involve looking at the chemistry behind the mechanics. That being said, I switched to Aerospace because I realized how much I love aircraft and spacecraft. I am a member of the Boomer Rocket Team, an engineering competition team focused on building rockets for competition. Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing. BRT Rocket Launching at Competition Courtesy of BRT Other than building rockets, I am an avid gamer. I probably play more video games than I should, but I'm having fun so I guess I don't really care. I primarily play Overwatch and Dota 2. I play a number of other games as ...

Week 14 Reading - Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales Part A: The Monkey-Bridge

There was a group of monkeys that lived near a river with a great tree that bore fruit. The monkeys never let any fruit fall into the river as they were afraid that if fruit fell in, it would float down to a human city and the humans would come searching for the fruit, thus forcing the monkeys away. One fruit was hidden by an ant nest and fell into the river and floated to the city. A king found it and tasted it and then ordered the tree the fruit came from be found. The king ordered the monkeys killed. The monkey king leapt to another tree and tied a reed around his foot, then jumped back so that his people could cross to the other tree. The reed was only long enough to allow him to grab the tree. All of the monkeys fled, but one monkey jumped on the monkey king's back and broke it. Then, they left him behind. The human king brought him down and spoke to him, moved by what he saw. The monkey king spoke some wisdom to him, then died. The human king built a temple in the m...
