Hi everyone! My name is Brandon Hennessy and I am an Electrical Engineering Senior. This is my last semester at OU and I’m extremely excited to graduate. I’m from the Dallas area and have recieved a job offer from AT&T when I graduate which will let me move back to that area this summer. I’m very excited to have a job, but am definitely a bit nervous to really get out there on my own!
In my spare time I like to workout, read books, play video games with friends or go on adventures. I usually will go to the gym three or four times a week because it helps keep me from getting too stressed out. I’m a big fan of fantasy books like the Lord of the Rings when I’m reading, but I also really enjoy reading biographies. The most recent biography I read was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s and it was actually extremely interesting. Whenever I play video games with friends I almost always stick with Nintendo stuff like Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart. And lastly I enjoy going out hiking, camping and climbing around wherever I can find a good place to go!
This winter break I had the chance to go on a couple fun adventures. First, I went camping and hiking over a weekend in the Wichita Mountains with several friends and had a great time. We climbed around the mountains for four or five hours each day before heading back to our campsite. It’s always fun doing semi dangerous things like climbing mountains just for the thrill of it, and camping always gets me in touch with my inner lumberjack (I even grew out a beard for the trip).

Second, I drove wth a few friends to Pagosa Springs, Colorado and did a little bit of snowboarding as well as hiking. We were there an entire week, but due to an unfortunate car accident we were only able to get to the ski area one day. We actually rolled a car off a cliff! It was a fairly small cliff and everyone was thankfully unharmed, but it was still scary. Instead of going to snowboard we went to the hot springs in town and did some hiking around the area. Even with some unfortunate events I had a great trip with my friends.

That is a little bit about me as well as my adventures this winter. I ended the year with a crazy car accident (it actually happened December 31st!), but I am absolutely looking forward to what 2015 has in store!
