Second Blog Post


So far the second semester has been rather enjoyable. I honestly like it here better now after four weeks away during winter break. As exhausting as these new classes are as a whole I still find them extremely rewarding.
The good thing is that third and fourth semesters I'll have nothing but computer classes to attend.. Personally I am really looking forward to my computer forensics course,but until then Python is just as fun since I'll be applying the skills from that class to the other ones in the computer forensics course list. The only thing this semester that I expect to be a real challenge is writing for this English class,as I don't really enjoy reading as much as I did when I was a bit younger which is unfortunate because reading is interesting in general. The other challenge of this class being the college level writing for essays and the like. But aside from that I expect the rest of the year to be smooth sailing. In conclusion I hope the year turns out well for the people reading this too.

First Blog Writing Prompt Assignment


After waking up in a jail cell and finally coming to my senses I find five objects on the cell floor.
The first of which is a game cartridge containing the game Pokemon Moon. This is a newly released game by Nintendo for my 3DS. The cartridge itself is about a half inch in size and made of gray plastic. A 3DS is a portable handheld gaming system also made by Nintendo,which funnily enough is the second object that I found. I find that it's in fairly good condition. Its colored black with a rather large screen,it's one of the newer models. The third object that I find is a handful of code cards from Gamestop. They are all for an exclusive downloadable Pokemon. I thought to myself "What are those for?" I then began piecing the events of the night back together with the last two objects. The first being a receipt for a local Fed-ex printing company. The Fed-ex company creates copies of business cards. The total on the receipt was 25 dollars for a box of 150 code card copies. The last item was a copy of one of the aforementioned code cards printed by the Fed-ex company. It had a anti copy watermark now clearly visible. Due to the watermark it was now obvious that it was a fake. Suddenly it all made sense. I'd been thrown in prison for counterfeiting code cards and selling them for profit the night before. "I should have made sure they didn't have copy protection first." I said as I slump back into the prison bed and fall asleep.
