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 #6

As the final assignment for my internship, my internship supervisor asked me as well as one of my fellow interns to grade several assignments, which detailed ways that cryptocurrency/blockchain impacts the world and the potential business opportunities that arise from it (which connected to the global understanding and potential impact that I researched during the internship) created by the MBA students taking the class. This intern and I sat during a free period and looked over each of the individual assignments, and tried to determine what each student should receive. We ultimately determined that everyone knew their material well, and we didn't give a single grade below a B, as we thought that everyone worked really hard and did a good job. Maybe a little underwhelming for a final project, but nevertheless cool to grade materials, and I'm thankful for such a great internship experience that I've had over the past six months.

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:

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.
