Famous Last Words: Home Sweet Home

This week, I had Friday off of school due to the OU-Texas weekend. I took advantage of this by working a full day at the consultancy firm that I work at part time, where I was able to crack a little further in a problem we were having with an algorithm. Once the work day was over, I got in my car and drove home. Generally, during drives, I tend to listen to podcasts as opposed to music. This is because sometimes, listening to music can be distracting and I might zone out.

I always enjoy coming home, because it is a chance to eat some great tasting homemade food. This week it was cornbread and chili, a food that I do not have access to at Norman. In addition, I get to go back the my favorite restaurant of all time, Szechuans. I used to work there as a teenager, so it has always had a special spot in my heart.

Coming home also means bringing home different clothes and items from Norman that I no longer have a use for, so the car is always full. I always try to get some things done while I am home, like signing random forms that I need to do, or writing out applications to something or another. While it is a 3 hour drive to get home, I always think that it is worth it.

Looking forward, I have an easy two weeks ahead of me as there are no tests or major projects due over the next few weeks. After that, I will have 3 weeks in a row of tests, but I should be able to prepare for them pretty easily.

Overall, I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks, and I am glad that I had the opportunity to come home and see my parents.

Week 7 Story: The Legend of Baker Mayfield

There was a competition occurring in Dallas, Texas on a crisp and cool October day. The stadium was lined with fans, half of which likely wouldn't be able to make competent sentences. The competition was simple: win a game of football by scoring more points than the other team. The two teams lined up on each side of the field, one of them the team from Oklahoma, the other, a team from Texas that was only allowed to play because they begged really hard and eventually the conference got tired of them crying. While many players were ready for the competition, one in particular thought he was the best fit for the entire contest. One player in particular had been rearing for a chance to win this game for the team from Oklahoma. The problem was that he was not formally allowed into the game, so he would need some kind of disguise in order to blend in well. He did what he had learned was called "walking on" and disguised himself in order to be able to compete. Many of the othe...

Week 9 Story: Mobius the Gambler

Mobius sat back in his chair, smoke filling the room. As a few people glanced sideways, the sweat started to roll down each players' temples. The small beads formed and fell, only because Mobius had the temperature in the back room turned up. Mobius held a full house on the flop, and placed his final bet. Sure of his victory, he lavishly slapped all of the chips down and went all in. Opposite of him was Yang. All others had folded out. Yang seemed shy the entire game, but had called Mobius every single time. Mobius was sure that he would fold this time, but to his surprise, Yang called. Mobius confidently laid all of his cards down and reached for the pot. But Yang had four aces. Yang had won all of Mobius' money for the entire night. It didn't matter if he had lost forty hands prior, they were small ones, mainly meant to make Mobius think he was a better player than he actually was. Yang took his earnings back home with him to his uncle. His uncle was a ruthless financia...

Famous Last Words: Week before Terror

This Thursday, I was proctoring a pre-calculus test when our Complex Analysis professor announced that we would have a midterm in a week. Two days after my Thermodynamics midterm. Two days before my Fluid Dynamics Midterms. All within five days of my Numerical Analysis midterm. While this all seems super stressful, atleast once Fluid Dynamics is over, I can look forward to smooth sailing for a few weeks. This week, in contrast to the next few, is looking to be very peaceful as a whole. I got to play soccer with some friends this weekend. I had not played in a few months, but it was great to get back out on the field and run around a little. Even better, I finally decided on a Halloween costume as well- Russell from Up. The only hard thing has been finding badges. Finally, WE GOT A DOG. This part has been most exciting. She came by at some point this afternoon, a friend had brought her up. She basically explored the house for the first bit of the day, and now, she's getting more u...
