CAS Blog: December 8, 2018 - December 14, 2018

     I have been continuing my work on improving both my musicianship and the quality of my  Dungeons and Dragons campaign that I had continued to plan and 'mastermind', so to speak, throughout this past week. What I've started doing in particular is planning the first session that my players will undertake as a part of the campaign. Previously, I had been designing the fictional world that my campaign will take place in, its origins, its conflicts, etc; really the 'big picture' stuff. Now, things are getting more specific. The first session of my campaign involves the player characters delivering a shipment to a settlement of brutal, imperialist dwarves (who are the central antagonists of my campaign), and it should be pretty interesting how things turn out, as there are a variety of courses of action the players can take upon arriving. Will they try to befriend these dwarves, only to betray them later? Or will they go all-out and start attacking immediately? It seems we'll have to find that out on the first day of the campaign. Regardless, I've been continually improving one of the primary skills as a Dungeon Master, planning, through this work.

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.

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.
