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

Week 7 Story: Demon Days

Long ago, in the land of Midor, there lived a humble man by the name of Shakiro. He was a simple man, and he led a simple life. One day, when Shakiro was wandering about the forest, searching for food, he encountered a a creature that had become trapped by some kind of strange apparatus. When he approached the odd creature, he was surprised to hear the creature speak to him! "Hello there, human. I was trapped here, unable to escape my bindings without assistance from a human... I don't imagine you'd be willing to help, so just run away now like the rest of your kind." This perplexed Shakiro, as he couldn't figure out why the creature would just assume he wouldn't help out. If Shakiro was anything, he was generous! He looked the creature up and down and decided he seemed harmless enough. "I will not run away!" Exclaimed Shakiro, "I'm going to free you, my friend." He took care to break the chains that held the creatu
