Capstone

This week, I delved into more Greek Mythology for my Capstone project, and I decided to focus on creating the rooms for Hades’ domain. Therefore, this post will be mostly be about me writing about what I learned about the Underworld, which is arguably one of my favorite subjects in Greek Mythology. Symbolism and Items… Continue reading Blog #8: More Creative Writing

This week, I started the process of doing creative writing for my project, and I was reminded of the amount of effort it takes to write something that really captivates and engages an audience.

I’m an incredibly awkward introvert by nature, and I’m terrified of working with strangers.… Continue reading Blog #2: Teamwork makes the Dream Work

Okay, I’m done with the weird cowboy metaphors. I wanted to make this blog post to document my journey from knowing absolutely nothing about… Continue reading Blog #1: Psyched up for Computer Science
