Famous Last Words Week 1

So this week sure went by very quickly. I'm working two part time jobs this semester and so I don't really have much time to slow down and think. Thankfully my classes haven't been too difficult as of yet but they'll probably get much worse as things progress. I've really enjoyed getting to read other people's posts from this week - the stories and introductions were especially interesting. It was cool getting to see all the different kinds of interests people have and I especially enjoyed Kimber's pictures of her pets. It looks like it's going to be a fun semester, I think. Writing the story based on a fable was also quite a bit of fun.

I unfortunately haven't really found many parallels between my main courses in chemical engineering and this class. Laura did give me some information about the Indian god of engineering and so that was pretty cool, but alas I haven't really found much overlap as of yet. I'm sure it'll come up eventually! Maybe. Possibly. But not really. Either way, I think this class will be a fun break from the monotony of my regular courses. I get to do very fun reading on materials that I'm not really familiar with and I get to do writing which I always enjoy and rarely get to do outside of the technical format for my major.

As things start to pick up and classes really get rolling these next few weeks,I hope to be able to stay on top of the material with all my classes. Thus far, it seems like I should be able to even be a little bit ahead at all times and I hope to keep that going for the rest of the semester. I've been able to get all my homework done early enough that I can ask my professor's questions if I have any. I've one major change this semester and that has been actually reading the textbooks for my classes before we start the lectures on that chapter. It really gives me a leg ahead when we start the homework on the new material. Overall, I think this will be a pretty good semester.
