Week 8 Progress


Motivational quote from my favorite superhero (Green Lantern) from one of the worst movies of all time (The Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds)
Source

When I first started this class, it sort of overwhelmed me. I was always stressed out and rushing to finish assignments for this class as I would spend most of my day working on homework for other classes. Thankfully, I eventually found my groove and now I am not only less stressed in this class, but I am enjoying it quite a bit more. In the beginning of the semester, I would do the assignments the day they were due, but now I either work 1 day ahead, or 1/2 day ahead. This tactic has made me realize that I have so much time to finish assignments for this class if I either do them a day earlier or get a head start on them, so when I get home with all of my other homework I have one less thing to worry about. I am going to try and continue this habit, and hopefully get to the point where I am working 2-3 days ahead so I can be even less stressed and work on the extra credit so I can hopefully finish early. One of the most challenging tasks for me is working ahead on weekends. Once Friday hits, I am usually tapped out for the week in regards to schoolwork, but then the deadlines hit me hard on Sunday night. I am going to try and get some of the weekend work out of the way Saturday morning when everyone is still waking up, so that way Sunday wont crush me as hard.

    Hey Matthew. I saw Green Lantern so I had to comment on this post. Awesome quote, awesome superhero, bad movie. However, Green Lantern will always been one of my favorite DC heroes. I can relate to pushing assignments to Sunday night. When the weekend comes I do not want to do anything either, but it can be done. Good luck with everything!

Introduction to a bench

You know I had to do it to them  Photo from October 2017 Hey everyone, Matthew Boensch (pronounced like "bench") here! I am a sophomore and an MIS major in Price college. I am originally from the south Philly/Jersey area, but have been living in North Dallas for the past couple of years. While I have picked up "Y'all" while living in Texas, much of my Northeastern slang has not left me and tends to come out when I am talking casually. I listen to all music, and I mean all music, so if you have any obscure or unpopular songs or genres you like, please drop a link cause I love discovering new stuff to bump to! While my music goes from Japanese EDM to ancient Mongolian throat singing, the stuff I listen to most of the time is underground and old school hip-hop, as well as lofi. I love playing all sports, even if I'm not too good at them. I played Offensive line in high school, as well competing in field events during track season. I am a huge super hero...

Week 10 Story: A life for a life

A comic panel showing Darkseid and his destructive capabilities  Source The supreme overlord of countless worlds, Darkseid, was casually strolling through the universe looking for a new world to conquer. As he was going about his planning for the invasion of this new galaxy called "The Milky Way" he was stopped by his most trusted adviser who warned him about invading dangerous planets, as he had already been beaten out of Oa by the guardians. Darkseid pondered this intrusion, and decided to play it safe instead of possibly risking another failure and have his army begin to doubt his power as a leader. "Who are the most powerful beings on this planet" Darkseid ordered as he pointed his finger towards Earth. "Bruce Wayne and Kal-El" the adviser responded. "Here is a brief history of their lives" he said as he gave Darkseid a vision detailing the lives of the 2 beings. "Batman and Superman huh?" Darkseid paced. "This ma...
