Week 8 Progress

I am making really good progress in this class, and expect to be done before the end of March. The storybook I am doing is something I am really proud of, and I am glad everyone seems to be enjoying it. It's nice to make something that other people feel invested in, and that is one of my favorite parts of this class.

My weekly schedule has changed quite a bit. Now I mainly work on Tuesday and Thursday, and try to get a lot done at once. I try to leave my weekends free so I spend more time on this class during the week than I planned. The extra credit options have helped me go through this class faster though, and I enjoy working on them.

Looking ahead, I need to make sure I stay on schedule and don't let other things get in the way of taking care of business in this class. At the same time, I need to work hard to get this class done so the hard push in April isn't that hard, and I can relax a bit. Over the next month I want to get better at writing dialogue for my storybook and brush up on my grammar skills (which have atrophied significantly due to engineering classes).

Introduction to a Robotics Nerd: Justin

Hi everyone! My name is Justin Kleiber, and I am a senior in Computer Engineering. My passion is robotics, which is the main reason I ended up choosing my major. At OU, I am the president of Sooner Competitive Robotics, which is one of the engineering college's competition teams (hit me up if you want to join!). I also do research on campus, where I mainly work on making a quadcopter fly around without a pilot controlling it. I help a group of high school students in OKC build and program a robot for the FIRST robotics competition, a worldwide high school robotics program. I love robotics, and as such, robots tend to surround my life. A picture I took of the research drone flying in its cage Additionally, I am really competitive and love sports. I've gone to every home OU football game in the four years I have been here, as well as to the Rose Bowl, the Peach Bowl, and two Red River Shootout games. Growing up, I was a huge Virginia Tech fan because my parents went there...

Week 5 Story: Sita is Over You

Sita is Over You After leaving Ravana's hometown in Sri Lanka, Sita was so glad to see one of her favorite people, Rama. She ran toward him and jumped into him with a flying hug, but to her surprise, Rama did not return her embrace. "Rama, is everything okay?" Sita asked. With a dull look in his eyes, Rama replied "No, you have been sleeping with another man - how dare you! I come in here and put myself out here, but you are not loyal to me. How can I move forward in this relationship??" Sita was taken aback - this is not normally how Rama had responded to pressure situations in the past - and with Ravana in the picture, Sita had thought Rama had been a good sport. But now he had cracked. His confidence was shattered, and now he thought she was sleeping with another man! Even though Sita knew she and Ravana had not slept together, she let Rama go on with his tirade. After he ran out of anger, Sita calmly said "So that's how you really feel? That I hav...
