Blog Assignment #0

Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog for CSCE 436.

There are quite a few questions that need to be answered, so I'll post the question and then follow it with an answer.

• What is your email address?
• kim10sne1@tamu.edu
• What is your class standing?
• 6th year senior
• Why are you taking this class?
• I am taking this class because it seemed interesting and there are always more things to learn about computers.  I also enjoy having classes with my friends and there are several in this class with me.
• What experience do you bring to this class?
• As a mechanical engineer and computer science double major student, I have a slightly different view on the world than most strictly computer science students.  I also bring the desire to learn about the world from a different perspective.
• What are your professional life goals?
• My professional goals are not as well defined as my personal goals, but I would love to be a liscensed professional engineer.
• What are your personal life goals?
• My personal goals are numerous and varied.  Though I would love to achieve everything, I am realistic enough to realize that probably won't happen.
• Edit or write a book
• Design my dream house
• Help students achieve their goals and go to college
• Travel to 10 countries
• What do you want to do after you graduate? 
• Get a job that allows me to use both my degrees
• Work with a variety of types of people
• What do you expect to be doing in 10 years?
• working for a large petroleum company or a stay at home mom
• What do you think will be the biggest technologial advancement in computer science?
• I believe the next big thing in computer science will be personal computers based on the new light technology (photons instead of electrons).
• If you could travel back in time, who would you like to meet and why?
• I would like to go back and ask Rosa Parks the reason that she wouldn't give up her seat on the bus.  Was she just too tired, or is there another explanation?
• Describe your favorite shoes and why they are your favorites?
• My favorite shoes are flats because they are easy to walk in for long distances and they don't make a lot of noise when walking.
• If you could be fluent in any foreign language that you are not already fluent in, which one would it be and why?
• I would choose an ancient language, like Sumarian, which very few people know so that I could speak and write things down without worries about someone else being able to easily disrupt my privacy.
• Give some interesting fact/story about yourself.
• An interesting fact about myself is that I enjoy watching movies with the sole intent to find flick flubs.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.  Hope it tells you everything you need.
Enjoy your day.
