Summer Updates

Summer is finally here! I made it successfully through my first year of engineering (well as close to successful as a freshman engineer can get). No retakes, and I kept my scholarship, so everything I would say that everything is looking pretty great.

I'm right now I am focusing on doing well in my 3 classes this first 6-week session. I knew that coursework would be heavy, but when they say accelerated term they really do mean ACCELERATED. Regardless I am 1/3 of the way through Foundations Drawing, Foundations Design, and Calc 3 and am doing really good so far. As long as I can keep up my work ethic, and stay on top of my studies I think I should be good.

I've started my work with the Student Civic Engagement Council. It's supposed to be more of an official job position, with me acting as an official member of the University's Office of PittServes. Despite all of this, it is looking like this year will actually be fun. The other council members are chill, and my "bosses" are really lax, but helpful and understanding. Hopefully we are able to do great things, and help increase the service opportunities and impact by Pitt students in the coming year.

I've been doing a lot of personal research and discovery between now and my last blog post. I read up a lot on Leonardo da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright, and some stuff about Ancient African Philosophy, Cultures, and Civilizations. When I get time, I am going to start posting some of my African "Apotheosis" research on here, as I delve more into the philosophy, culture, political structure, and history of many of the great ancient cultures.

All in all this is shaping up to be a great summer. Make sure you stay tuned, and share this blog with those you think would be interested.

Generation Great, stay rising...
