Semester In Review

So this is it, the last required blog for my class.

Though the mandatory three posts a week have sometimes been a major hassle, especially when trying to fit it around working for senior design deadlines, overall I've really enjoyed writing this blog. If even one person has stumbled across this blog (that wasn't one of my classmates) and managed to learn something about nuclear power plants or the nuclear industry, then I'll call it a success. And I like to be successful, so I'm going to assume that it's true. Boom, mission accomplished.

This blog has also lead to me learning a few things about my industry and the power industry as a whole. A big thank you to my classmates for writing interesting blogs that inspired new topics for me, and an especially big thank you for the blogs that were easy to comment on and for leaving comments on my blogs I could reply to; kept those mandatory comment assignments pretty straightforward.

This isn't me signing off. There's still points to be milked from this thing with a bonus blog or eight. But don't let my cynicism fool you: I have enjoyed writing this blog and reading my peers', and it was certainly a unique approach to the class compared to the old, often stale, but effective class methods of the rest of my college experience.

I guess the point that I'm trying to make is: of all the things for school I've done, this is one of them.

    1. I don't know if you mean mine or just the blog project in general but thanks! It's nice to know the blog has lived up to at least a little bit of its purpose.
