Race to Finish Semester

Been busy working on Senior Design and Software Engineering.  Both fun and unfun in their own ways.

~~Senior Design~~

Fun:  For Senior Design, I get to work closely with two good friends of mine.  I’m learning about hardware, prototypes, and autocrossing.  I drive in my first autocross event this Sunday to test our system! For as silly as it sounds I’m glad that Bret and Chip aren’t big on writing documents because I get to practice my technical writing skills.  Granted, lately I just create a skeleton for them to dump information into and I clean it up.

Unfun:  I feel like I don’t have enough to contribute and have let them down.  It is scary knowing that we present our project in 19 days.

~~Software Engineering~~

Fun:  I have discovered I have a knack for creating 8-bit images and I really enjoy making them.  I may have found a new hobby!  Trevor and I have had a blast figuring out sound effects and background music for various things.

Unfun:  Development is a mess due to unclear project guidelines in the beginning.  It’s a group of eleven people all trying do stuff at once.  So, sometimes it’s two steps forward and one back.
