CAS Blog: January 2019

Much of this past month was taken up by the 3D Magnetic Sculptures J-Term with Mike, and due to the exhaustion that followed most school days, I have been a little lighter on CAS work than usual. Nevertheless, the month has not been entirely devoid of it. I have been continuing to attend D&D Club and have had a lot of fun with my friends in that regard. Also, I have been continued to go to the gym and get personal training from Blake. I understand that it is good for your body (and mind for that matter), and I intend on continuing, but I sometimes wish that there was some sort of physical exercise that I truly enjoyed. Talking to him while working out is okay, but I don't know if the exhaustion that I feel by the end is entirely worth something that I am not myself entirely invested in.

I'll see where it goes from here, but for now I'm sticking with it. My goal is to keep sticking with it and improving my mental and physical fitness through exercise, but we'll see.

CAS Blog: March 2020

Lately, I have been negotiating with the head of the middle school campus of my school in planning a service project for National Honor Society, where I'm planning to teach the middle schoolers of the campus computer programming, which I believe really connects with the nationwide and worldwide need of more leaders in STEM fields as computing becomes larger and larger every day. Besides the implementation of the Magic: The Gathering Club at school, I haven't really done much of service for the school in a while, so I'm really excited for this upcoming project. Additionally, ever since there was a relative void left when I decided to no longer do workouts with Blake, I've been lately getting outside more and doing walks around the neighborhood, which is really nice and allows me to appreciate the nice breeze, blue sky, and the world outside of strings and screens.

CAS Project Blog #4

Due to the water crisis that hit Houston yesterday, I was unable to find the Rice cryptocurrency course meeting on campus as most of the buildings had been closed, and as no prior announcement was sent to notify the interns. Despite this I spent some time walking around the Rice University campus and admiring the various sites there are to see. Additionally, upon arriving home and grabbing dinner I curled up and did some cryptocurrency/blockchain research myself to fill this gap, so fortunately all was not lost. (Learning Outcome: #1, #5)

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.
