Week 8 Progress

I am pretty happy with how this semester has gone. The only pitfall I've fallen into is I am a little guilty of putting my work off to the last minute, and submitting during the grace period (like this assignment), other than that though it has been going great. My favorite assignments are the weekly story retellings. I think those were a really fun way to explore both different Indian Epics but also our own writing styles.

Going forward, I want to try and get everything done sooner, so I'm less likely to just not do it. I also want to take advantage of the extra credit more, so that I can ensure that I get enough work done to get an A.

    Hey again Callum. I think everyone is guilty of procrastinating every now and again. It is pretty easy to fall victim to it, especially in your last semester of college. I think working ahead for this course especially is an excellent idea. The extra credit is also a great thing to work with; I have been doing it every week, and I’m almost done with the class now. Best of luck to you!

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineering Major

My name is Callum Maguire, and I am a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering. The coolest class I took last semester was AC Systems, which explored how air conditioning systems work and how they cool down rooms. Get it? Coolest class? Jokes aside, it was a very interesting course that opened my eyes to how complex a system the air conditioning in a building is, as even a single room can be a lot to deal with as far as calculations go. I was raised on Star Wars and Tolkien, so they happen to be some of my favorite works, however I'm also very fond of superhero movies, sitcoms like Community and IT Crowd, as well as sci-fi and fantasy novels. Long story short, I'm a nerd. Best movie I've seen recently is The Last Jedi, which is something of a controversial opinion I guess, but I don't care. I enjoyed it, and that's all there is to it. I recently re-read one of my childhood favorite novels, Redwall, which was a nice trip down memory lane. It was clear that it wasn...

My Favorite Place, the Wichita Mountains

My favorite place is located in southwestern Oklahoma, near the town of Lawton. It is the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, in particular Mount Scott and Elk Mountain. These two sites offer incredibly breathtaking views as well as fantastic opportunities for hiking, bouldering, and rock climbing.  Mt. Scott Mt. Scott features a road that snakes its way up the small "mountain", culminating in a parking lot at the top. This location is fantastic is most likely what most people imagine when they think of the Wichita Mountains. It has gorgeous views of the surrounding area, including hills, forests, towns, and lakes, as well as plenty of spots to hike and climb. I have visited Mt. Scott countless times, initially just driving up to the top with my family, but eventually hiking up it with friends. It is a place that I feel very connected to, for reasons I cannot seem to explain. Whenever I hear people claim that Oklahoma isn't pretty, all I have to do is imagine the vie...
