Famous Last Words: We Gon' Get a Dawg

This week, I had relatively boring classes and lectures. We did a little bit of new stuff, but overall, with no tests or major assignments, it was pretty easy for the week to pass quickly. In addition, since it is a bye week, there has not been a lot of things to happen today to entertain me either. This entire week as a whole MIGHT have been something that passed me by quickly without a second thought. That is, until my roommate suggested we get a dog.

For a bit of background knowledge, we had considered getting a dog for a while before moving into a house, but we ultimately decided not to because we were not sure if we had time. But now, we have an additional roommate and we are considering it for a real possibility. I would guess that overall, it has a strong likelihood of happening. One of us would have to own the dog outright for when we inevitably move out of the house, and we would also need to figure out what to do with it during summer and winter while we are not at school.

We spent the afternoon looking at different dogs on Craigslist and other sites, considering seriously whether or not we should get a dog. There are many pros to one, but the main con is whether or not we have enough time. We've been able to find two or three reasonably priced dogs for sale, and we just need to talk to our parents to flesh out whether or not it is truly a good idea. Normally, we might consider a shelter dog as opposed to a different dog, but one of our roommates is allergic to dogs, so we need to find a hypoallergenic breed.

Overall, the weekend has spiced things up for my life, and there are some interesting questions to answer about whether or not we are truly fit to own a pet. There are some maintenance costs as well that we would need to consider, but everyone is very excited thus far.

Introduction: Getting to know Me

My name is Sean, and I am double majoring in chemical engineering and mathematics. I enjoy mathematics and computations, and the engineering program marries these two very well, while the mathematics program introduces a theoretical side. I hope to learn enough about mathematical modeling and refinery operations to become a financial forecaster for crude training. Favorite Foods: My favorite food of all time is the szechuan chicken with hot chile oil from a restaurant in my hometown called Szechuans. But other great foods include: gumbo, steak, and kettle chips. I had the chance to intern at ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where I consumed a large amount of cajun food. I had gumbo 3-4 times per week and while there are many kinds of gumbo, the best is by far chicken and sausage. Free Time: In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, running, and racquetball. Soccer is a sport I've played for the past 15-16 years, and I've played for many teams including intramural and c...

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...
