  • Learning

    “And now the end is hereAnd so I face that final curtain…” – Frank Sinatra (1969) This quote keeps coming back to me, seemingly anywhere I go ending any project. It was the song I listened to driving away from high school for the last time, and it was also the song I listened to…

  • Annotated Bibliography: The Process

    Surprisingly as compared to much of my other work, there actually was a few blog posts that went into making this document (two). The design of my project started (and seemingly ended) at these two blog posts. So starting at this first one, this “Project Update 1” was the first seemingly “revision” to my public…

  • Music and Writing

    As I sit on Crosland 7, facing the foggy outside on the due date of my project, some times I just take a pause from the writing and just think about the music I am listening to. Need somebodyWho can make it betterSomebodyWho can open up those gates– “Favorite Song” – Toosii (Feb 17, 2023)…

  • Project Proposal (The Process)

Another interesting fact is how it simply doesn’t discuss much of the process of learning, but I guess I didn’t…

  • Introduction to the Conclusion

    “And now the end is hereAnd so I face that final curtain…” – Frank Sinatra (1969) This past semester has been quite the adventure. Starting off, I barely knew what I was doing, and I had no idea what a “small” class looked like at Tech yet. Everything I knew was large 200+ person lectures…

  • Creating the Introductory Video

    When I started this class, I had no idea what to expect. Back at registration, I knew I needed an ENGL1102 class, and this one seemed to fit into my schedule where I wanted it to. This first project was a little different from what I expected. I never took ENGL1101 since I had AP…

  • Falling Short

    My initial project was quite ambitious. Now that I think about it, ScratchDB was written during some earlier years in high school when I had plenty of free time after school and I didn’t have many other things going on. This second semester at Georgia Tech is quite different from that time. For example, the…
