Week 8 Reading and Writing

This week, we look back at some of the things that we have done in the class, seeing as it is the halfway point. First, I will review my blog and website. Then, I will review my stories and blog posts.

Starting on the blog, I actually really like it. It is not nearly as flashy as other people's, but I like something that is easy to navigate, and I enjoy reading the content as opposed to viewing different pictures. The labels are easy to find to navigate, and it also is broken down by month. As per the website, the same principles apply, I enjoy basic websites that get the point across.

Looking back on my stories, I made a change around Week 5 where I decided to write a story about a dog being tricked by squirrels. This was followed up by a story about Baker Mayfield, which was then succeeded by a relatively original story about the Vajra. I made this conscious decision after I was not enjoying trying to somewhat accurately retell the stories that I had read, and I wanted to have more fun with the writing. I think this overall enriched the experience, and I will continue to write as I enjoy doing.

As per the website, I really enjoyed learning about the Vajra, and I enjoyed writing the story. It will be somewhat of a challenge to write the second story as I talked more about Vritra, but I am looking forward to the challenge.

Overall, while this blog post is moreso concerned with writing our stories, I am also enjoying the reading and learning aspect. It's been a great class so far! Looking forward, I would like to just keep learning about the different stories, and I would like to continue my reading and learning!

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 5 Story: The Dog and His Toy

Once there was a dog named Kyler, and he was perhaps the best boy in the world. He could protect his owners from all sorts of perils, such as random people delivering paper, visitors that had to pass a rigorous security check, and even cleaning devices that projected so much noise that they could cover up the sound of approaching intruders. Kyler was great at his job, and every time he had done a good deed, he would be rewarded by getting to play with his favorite toy, a little plush reindeer. But Kyler also remembered what happened when he was a bad boy, his toy would be taken away. One day, Kyler was napping, paying little attention to his surroundings when he saw a movement out of the corner of his eyes. He stood up from his shady perch under the tree, and trotted over to the tree, where he saw a squirrel. The squirrel, being up to mischief, pelted an acorn at him. This brought a challenge to Kyler's territory, and he started shaking the tree in an attempt to get the squirrel
