I was a week or so late updating my office calendar in November, so instead of writing a month at the top I titled it &#8220;Home Stretch&#8221; and included everything from November 10th through mid-December. Having the last five weeks of this fall term all together where I can see them has been nice. I&#8217;m a big fan of efficient presentations, and that what this feels like. Not that it doesn&#8217;t have personality; my partner filled it with drawings of our cat Pepper at the start of the term, which still makes me smile even though the pictures are a little worse for wear now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-864x1536.png 864w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-1152x2048.png 1152w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image-1200x2133.png 1200w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/8200\/files\/2024\/12\/image.png 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here&#8217;s a photo of our model, Pepper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m at that point in this term now where I am operating like a well oiled machine. I&#8217;ve recovered from all of my earlier issues and setbacks and have turned my weekly time management schedule into both a science and an art. That ease and simplicity and peace is how I know it&#8217;s time to start a new term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all seriousness, I&#8217;m excited to be progressing through my senior year. Every day I&#8217;m inching closer to the goal of completing this program. There&#8217;s only a week left of this fall term and then I get to turn my attention to my winter break projects. This year, that means learning how to utilize the Godot game engine and hopefully finding a job for my post-graduation world. Life stays busy, but I don&#8217;t mind. I&#8217;m just glad to be here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re heading in to the home stretch now.
