My Favorite Place: Fog City

My favorite place is probably San Francisco, otherwise known as Fog City, in California. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of living in a big city, but I also enjoy nature, and San Francisco offers a perfect combination of the two. The city itself is massive, with beautiful hills, plenty to do, and a wide variety of different communities such as Nob Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown to name a few. 20 minutes outside of the city, just across the Golden Gate Bridge, is a little town called Sausalito, which is quaint and quite scenic. This town rests just below the Muir Woods, which contains many of the world famous redwood trees native to the bay area. I could go on, but I'll end by saying that the city provides numerous different environments in which you can explore, and that's why I enjoy it so much.

    Ohhhhh, yes: San Francisco: I know that view well, Dylan! I lived there, and down south from there in Daly City and also in the East Bay, and it was wonderful everywhere from every angle. I still miss it! Did you ever go to the Asian Art Museum? I used to go there when it was located in Golden Gate Park, and some of my first encounters with Indian art happened there, way back in the 1980s before I had even heard of the Ramayana or Mahabharata! The museum had to relocate after the earthquake; now it's in the Civic Center: http://www.asianart.org/ ... I wish we could magically go on a fieldtrip for this class! :-)

    Wow Dylan San Francisco is a very nice place. Last summer I spent a couple days in San Francisco as well! I think Chinatown is particularly fantastic with the quality of food there being exceptionally and authentic. The sea lions at Pier 39 are also quite entertaining as they act like big buffoons. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and I hope that I get to see more of your posts this semester! :)

Introduction to a Mechanical Engineer

Image
To begin, my name is Dylan Lloyd and I'm currently a junior here at OU. I'm from Kansas City, Missouri, and am majoring in mechanical engineering. I chose this degree because I've always loved math and science, but what I've found throughout my search for internships is that the coolest thing the degree offers is a wide variety of options. I've applied to everything from basic engineering positions to consulting and technical positions, as well as financial and management positions. It seems that there is high demand for people with engineering degrees, and mechanical engineering may be the most broad of them all. The best class I took last semester was Engineering Leadership. It was a 4000 level course, and was very different compared to the other classes I took. Almost all of my engineering courses up to this point have been about engineering fundamentals and how to apply those to problem solving. None except Engineering Leadership talked about how you think as an

Week 5 Story: The Return of Sita

Image
After several long days they were finally back together, and it was hard to believe that what they’d been through was real. Congressman Rama sat in embrace with Sita and thought about what had transpired.  3 days ago, Rama had been cleaning up the kitchen after dinner when he heard a scream come from the living room. He took off towards the room only to find a broken window and shattered glass covering the floor.  “Sita? Sita!”, he called out, but no answer was heard.  When the police arrived to their home, an investigation began, and it was determined that Sita had been kidnapped. By who they weren’t sure, but it seemed like Rama had been targeted due to his powerful position.  A few days passed without.a word. The police continued their investigation efforts, and Rama drove around town trying to find anyone who may be able to help, but nothing turned up. Then suddenly on the third day, Rama left his home to find a note taped to the front door. The note appeared to be
