In two weeks, I will be graduating from Brigham Young University - Idaho. This past couple weeks I have been slacking on job applications and my goals. I wonder if it is senioritus; although, I got an A on my law exam and an essay, which my teacher said no one gets.

One reason why I may not be focusing on my career development is that I modeled for two art classes at my university. I am very happy with the second class that I modeled for. Most classes are drawing with black and white mediums, but the last class that I modeled for is a painting class. One reason that I am happy about the session is that a student that is a great painter painted me. The teacher painted me too. I will post a series of pictures showing the progress of each artist. The love being back in a school art department especially BYU Idaho's.

Modeling takes a lot of focus, requiring a well-rested body. I modeled for the advanced figure drawing class, where I was dressed as a man from the Victorian era. Last weekend was rough sleep wise. I kept my pose, and I had a hard time keeping my eyes open; insomuch that, a girl drew me with my eyes closed. I laughed. I took a nap before my second class to be sure that I was rested because I was head modeling. They pointed out that I was falling asleep, when I only showed the weakness for one second.

I got feedback from Morrison Hershfield, concerning the timeline of the job openings decision. They said to give them about four weeks to decide.

A couple weeks ago, my mind embraced its imagination. I am a very innovation focused individual with spatial intelligence, an inventor. One night I remembered that I wanted to invent a bicycle based on running form. I realized that a gear system would be too complicated. I figured that there are three general motions in the legs of running form that can generate energy. A brace would be attached to the knees and feet with a cord that would spin a coil of wires between magnet in the bicycle unit, which causes the electrons to flow in the wires, generating electricity. The three general motions of running is the backward motion of the leg, which is lacking in normal bicycles. The second is the forward motion of the knee, and lastly is the downward motion of the foot. There is also power generating motion that can be harvested in the arms. The arms, having attached energy harvesting units in the arm movement, would be necessary to balance the bicycle unit. The unit would essentially be a power plant within a wide cylinder. There would be two cylinders in both sides of the body. The wide cylinder would have the surface rotating propelling the bicycle forward based on the electricity stored or generated. As alluded to the units would have batteries to store electricity. Another essential component is the hip brace, which would hold the user's torso in the proper location to have good running form. Do you know those camera holders that is similar to a selfie stick? No matter which angle that you angle the stick the camera is still straight. The running form bicycle would remain at a flat angle despite hills.

Other functions of the bicycle is that the two cylinders can lock together on a bicycle rack. I imagined that attaching the braces would be easier, if the units can be sat on like a wheel chair. It can be used as a wheel chair, if you don't feel like unbundling yourself. I imagined that the running bicycle can physically elevate the disabled people to stand as a normal man. Of course. It would do the same for a normal person too. There will also be a screen on the cylinders for software applications.
