Eying the Egg


Figuring out exactly what I wanted to do with the egg definitely challenged me. I didn't want to feel I was doing something everyone else had already done or would do. I thought and thought and came up with an idea I felt wasn't the best I could think of, but was somewhat creative. I decided I'd tape the egg to the bottom of my frisbee and see how a game with a friend might go. To my surprise, the egg didn't really have a negative effect on the frisbee's guided path. However, the egg only made it through about five or six tosses, when the tape detached and the egg crashed to the pavement. If I had used duct tape, I'm sure the game would have lasted much longer, but unfortunately it was not one of my resources. I shall try, though, see if I'm right, and make another post.

First day of Seeing Sideways

Yesterday I realized that N385 may be the most interesting class I've taken yet at IUPUI. It was refreshing how open most of the people in class were, and I think that had a lot to do with many of my classmates already knowing our professor, including myself. The fact that our break was not done in a typical fashion was enough to hook me into staying. Then hearing how open our options are for assignments, it was then clear to me that not only I, but every student has the opprtunity to gain a great deal from N385. I basically concluded that what you put in is what you get out of the course. I personally intend on giving my best effort because I hope that N385 really will change my life.
