Introduction to a Computer Scientist

Changsha Concert Hall (Free Great Picture)


Hi! My name is Tyler and welcome to my (second) blog! I'm a Computer Science student here at OU (you could probably guess this from the title of the post). I'd say the most interesting thing about Computer Science is that it requires a lot of thinking outside the box. There are a lot of approaches to tackling any given problem. My favorite class I took last semester is actually linear algebra. My teacher was nice enough to hand out printed notes to go over during lecture, which made learning the material really easy since I didn't have to do the whole 'write now think later' thing. Over break, I planned to go to New York City, since I usually go every year, but plans changed and I ended up staying home, but if you saw my Favorite Place post already you would know I didn't mind. If you had anything interesting you did over break, go ahead and mention it in your comments; I think it'd be neat to see what everyone else did!

Anyways, I spent a lot of this break sleeping ,refining my piano skills, and drawing. Speaking of that, my hobbies include drawing, playing piano, playing guitar, playing video games, and sleeping. Recently, I've been playing Mario Odyssey and I have to say that it's a really impressive gem of a game, really takes me back to my childhood playing Super Mario 64 and Sunshine.

Some goals that are important to me include getting better at drawing and piano. I practice drawing every day and learn new songs on piano often. These goals aren't too clearly defined though so I've considered establishing more concrete goals and sticking to them (such as practicing piano or drawing x hours a day).

Since I play piano, it makes sense for me to enjoy piano music so here's one of my favorite pianists playing:
