Reading Notes: The Boy in the Moon

The story that drew my attention for today's reading notes was the story of The Boy in the Moon. This story came from the Alaskan legends section of the Native American Stories. This was a very interesting story where there use to be four brothers that had a sister. They were friends with a boy. then one day the boy fell for the girl. One day the girl saw a ladder and decided to ascend it. With this the girl started to float away. the boy saw this and started to run after her but could never catch her. The girl became the sun and the boy became the moon. that is why if you ever notice the sun and moon are always chasing and opposing each other. no matter what the moon can never catch the sun. and when ever the moon is weak the sun gives it more. The plot that i got from this was that no matter how fast you chase those you love, you may never catch them, but no matter how far you are from them you can still help them as the girl helps the boy when he is low on energy.

Drew Fazzino Introduction

The coolest thing about my major is seeing how different systems work together and operate. Another cool thing about my major is making parts in CAD and generating tool paths to machine your own parts in a CNC. The best class I took last semester was Computer Integrated Manufacture because I learned different CAM platforms and how to generate your own tool paths to the parts you make in platforms such as solidworks. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the summer break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it gave me some great relative infield experience working with lead mecha...

Week 9 Reading: Mans Best Friend Betrayal

Image
There once was a middle-aged archery hunter named Scott. He and his wife Amy lived in Utah where they raised there very trustworthy Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever named Bell. Scott’s best friend Jimmy was the owner of a bow shop called nocked and ready. Scott and Jimmy would spend all their time together in that shop reminiscing on old stories or at the range where it was a constant competition. Scott brought bell everywhere with him whether it be the archery shop or shooting. With this Jimmy had grown very close to bell as well. Scott would go on very long hunts sometimes for a week or two weeks and needed someone to watch over bell when he was gone and when Amy was at work. So Jimmy being the good friend he was would just bring bell to his shop to hang out. During this time bell grew very close to jimmy and without Scott even noticing bell started to favor jimmy. Scott did not notice this until he came home from a hunt and Bell would not greet him and only stayed by Jimmy’s...
