My potential MIT OCW series of courses

I am spitballing here, but this is how I may take them (which I will do alongside my MS in CS in preparation for my second MS in ECE -- without neglecting my secondary studies in art/animation and writing). And yes, I know that tons of people SAY they're going to do this, but then don't actually do it. Well, we will just have to wait and see if I finish or not, now won't we?

6.0001: Introduction to Computer Science Programming in Python
6.0002: Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science
6.01 Introduction to EECS via Robotics
18.01 Calculus I
18.02 Calculus II
18.03 Differential Equations
8.01 Physics I
8.02 Physics II
18.06 Linear Algebra
6.002 Circuits and Electronics (I may do the MITx version)
6.003 Signal Processing
6.042 Mathematics for Computer Science
6.004 Computation Structures
18.05 Intro to Probability and Statistics
6.006 Introduction to Algorithms
6.009 Fundamentals of Programming
6.031 Elements of Software Construction
6.823 Computer System Architecture   
6.033 Computer Systems Engineering
6.034 Artificial Intelligence
6.045 Computability and Complexity Theory
6.046 Design and Analysis of Algorithms
6.036 Intro to Machine Learning
6.302 Feedback System Design
6.801 Machine Vision
6.241 Dynamic Systems and Control
6.837 Computer Graphics
6.815 Digital and Computational Photography
6.814 Database Systems
6.073 Creating Video Games
6.808 Mobile and Sensor Computing
6.035 Computer Language Engineering
6.816 Multicore Programming
6.245 Multivariable Control Systems
6.828 Operating System Engineering 

Bold are the most important -- because they are what I need for CS 513 at BYU -- which essentially follows 6.241, almost to the letter. I will probably focus the majority of my efforts on these for now. The others will just be icing on the proverbial cake. 

This is still fairly CS-focused, since I do want to review my undergrad after all. But, I may need to adjust it in the future to have more ECE concepts. Even so, I hope that the courses that I do take will cover the basics well enough. I'm looking at CU Boulder online right now, and I think that this sequence will be sufficient. Obviously, I am also ignoring all the GEs because I did enough of that at BYU, and it's not like I'm getting anything other than knowledge for completing this sequence anyway.

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
