Nathan's Attempt At Blogging

I decided to give blogging a shot even though it is far from my comfort zone.  Now give me a puzzle or a math problem and I’ll be in heaven.  Proof of that is in this blog considering it took me over an hour just to write this one.  Don’t ask where the time went because I don’t even know. 
I was really excited to get into school and pursue my engineering degree but I overlooked the fact that I would be dealing with kids that have just graduated high school who don’t even know how to spell the word “Maturity.”  Even though I am only 7 years older than most, it astounds me to realize the cultural and timely differences between us. 
            A blatant example of this was in my intro to engineering class that I took my first semester.  During our first day of class, the teacher wanted to make a point that the structure of the class was very hands on and project oriented instead of a dull, note-taking lecture.  Here is the video she showed: 


            I hope most of you can recognize what movie this is from and realize that it is a classic.  Or at least I thought because when the teacher asked the class how many knew what movie that was from, less than half the class actually could give an answer….. Man I felt old!  I haven’t even hit my thirties and I’m already feeling the generational gap.  Next thing I know, someone will say “Who’s The Brady Bunch.”
