For time strategies to help myself get through this class as well as this semester, I've decided to take steps towards getting my work done sooner. I suffer greatly from lack of motivation and procrastination. I find it hard to force myself to do tasks unless absolutely necessary. Now that I'm taking a 15 hour semester again and working 25 hours a week, I do not have that luxury. I am going to start doing my work as soon as I get it rather than the day before it is due, and start asking myself the questions listed in 4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination. I'll also start making public commitments to doing my work in this way, as mentioned in How to Beat Procrastination so that I am almost pressured into getting my work done in this manner. I need to buckle down and finish these last two semesters to that end.

Introduction to a Math Majoring Gamer

(Personal Image from cellphone) Hey everyone, my name is Jacob, and I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in mathematics. I'll say this, the major is not for the faint of heart. Upper level math courses are pretty difficult! But that's enough about school, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am twenty-one years old and am currently dating my girlfriend of almost 5 years, Rachel. We have plans to move in together next summer and are working towards that goal.

I love playing soccer competitively, and can't really play for recreation or I get too competitive. I have five pets, two dogs and three cats. Really only two of

Week 14 Story: The Businessman, the Crook, and the Bobby

(Eyes Crazy Funny from  Pixabay ) Author's Note: For this story, I chose to recreate the Italian tale of the Man, the Serpent, and the Snake. They key elements of the story are still there, but in this case I chose to replace the characters in the story with humans, and place it in modern day Britain. This gives the story, in my opinion, a more humanistic feel (obviously, I mean, it's with humans instead of animals). The characters of the horse and greyhound are portrayed a little differently though. One key term that is good to know is "bobby". In this case it is not a name, but rather a term that is used in the UK for a police officer sometimes. One day, a businessman was on his morning walk to work. As he strolled by the coffee shop he frequented, he noticed a Crook chained to a nearby lamp post. "Oi, mate, help me out o' this jam wouldja?" The crook asked the man. "Absolutely not you dimwit," the man started, "If
