CAS Blog: October 2018

I would like to detail some of the progress that I have made regarding my creativity. During this time frame, I made strides in my progress upon learning “Hey Joe”, The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s seminal 1967 blues rock masterwork. The chord progressions were fairly simple to master in a few minutes, but its the solo that I had trouble completing and what I had to practice continually (I still haven’t mastered it fully).

Beyond playing guitar and (trying my best) composing music, I have also been attending workout sessions with my father and I’s personal trainer as often as possible, homework permitting. Although I never have been one to engage in exercise on my own choosing, it is nice to see improvements in my physique and mental well-being resulting from it.

No words on service at the moment, but that is bound to change sometime soon.

CAS Project Blog #2

I have been working on completing slides for my internship supervisor, which will be used in a presentation given to this class of MBA candidates at Rice. The research involved in creating these slides has been really cool and interesting, and has taught me a lot more about cryptocurrency and blockchain economics. An example of one of these slides is below:

On February 20, I actually went to Rice University to attend day one of the course my internship supervisor taught to the MBA candidates. It was pretty interesting seeing all of the MBA candidates in the room, but it was also quite intimidating; me and my fellow intern were the only teens in the entire room, and presumably building, which I guess is really not surprising considering the context we were in. Although most of the information I already knew due to researching it to create the slideshow that was being displayed behind him, it was still a really cool experience attending an actual college course.

CAS Project Blog #5

On the 29 of February I attended the final cryptocurrency/blockchain economics course for my internship. Although I missed the last meeting (which turned out to be taking place in another building that I was unaware of), this didn't really impede my ability to understand the content, especially because, as I mentioned in a previous blog post, most of the information I had already researched. It was also interesting seeing the various guests and speakers who have had experience in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space, which provides a nice contrast to the more theoretical and economical information that me and my fellow interns have been receiving.
