Week 1: Introduction




Apparently I slightly misinterpreted the course overview assignment, and already gave a brief introduction there. Oops! Nevertheless, I will go ahead and give a more thorough introduction here. My name is Austin Clanton, I am 21 years old, and a junior in chemical/biomedical engineering: pre-med. I have 3 younger siblings and a girlfriend of almost 4 years, who is actually taking this course with me (Taylor Haddad). Below, you will find a picture of my family with me at the far right:

I have been at OU for my entire college career and have really enjoyed the experience. In my spare time, I like to play basketball and occasionally play videogames with my roommates. This summer, I turned 21and went on a trip to Las Vegas with my girlfriend's family. We had a great time and managed to make it back to Oklahoma without losing all of our money! Taylor and I enjoyed the Jersey Boys show and playing blackjack. We ate at several great restaurants and found some free entertainment in watching all of the interesting people (and let me tell you, there are a ton of interesting people that are willing to do almost anything to earn money from people walking along the streets).

Some of the other courses that I am taking this semester are Biochemistry, Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer 2, Thermodynamics, and Numerical Methods. Needless to say, I am looking forward to this class as a break from all of the other math and science courses that I am enrolled in. Unfortunately, I do not consider myself to be the most creative writer, so I also hope to improve on that skill through this course. I hope to have a great semester, and am looking forward to getting to know the rest of you!
