Get to know the Otterneer!

In universe, I'm Civil Oetran. However, always remember that Civ is a reflection of the IRL version of me.

Civil Oetran, or just Civ, is a 25-year old North American River Otter. He's 5'6".  He is bisexual, but leans mostly gay, deciding he mostly likes men but wouldn't turn down the right woman. He lives in central Arizona, in a mountain city full of pine trees situated in the middle of the desert state.

Civ works as a civil engineer-in-training (and recently passed his PE exam, so he's just a few years of experience away from being a Professional Civil Engineer), with a particular focus on water and sewer infrastructure. Currently a 'CAD Monkey', Civ spends his work days drawing up plan sets, and sometimes making site visits and doing field work.

Civ lives in a modern world where magic also exists, and has been integrated into society. However, Civ is actually a 'magicless' individual, and has no ability to use magic on his own. While people who go about their lives using magic next to never are not uncommon, being incapable of magic entirely is a rarity (about 1 in ten thousand).

Wanna know some more random facts about me?

I am a practicing civil engineer-in-training. I originally got a degree in environmental engineering, but civil speaks to me more now (they're very similar degrees so it's in fact possible to switch post-college). I'm focusing my work in wastewater and water treatment, with a healthy amount of site grading and water/sewer pipe networks for the city.

Blender is my chosen art form. I make single frame renders quite often and enjoy making new models sometimes when the obsession strikes.

Sewing is something I can do, but fursuit making is something I can only kinda do. I've made a few partial pieces for a partial fursuit (hands, tail, and a head really) but I'm not good enough to make a body suit.

I have a fursuit in the making! It's expected to be done sometime around the end of 2025! Thanks again to DogWool!

I swim just about every day I can, which is pretty close to daily. Thus my fursona's an otter to reflect that. Plus I'm just a silly little guy sometimes.

I enjoy tabletop games a ton. Big fan of DND/Starfinder and I'm currently in a Starfinder campaign. I also play a bit of MTG, but more often I play Star Wars Armada, which I paint and homebrew for.

I have 2 3D printers, one FDM and one Resin. I'm typically printing game pieces for Armada, which a roommate and I are currently using to make a Star Trek, UNSC, and Covenant faction for the game. I also 3D print mini's for DND, and my roommate group paints them.

I've got two pets: one's my mutt Lady (she's a rez mutt with mixed aussie, german shep, sheep dog, herder, and about every other breed on the rez), the other's my snake Striker (lesser morph ball python).

I LOVE gardening and landscaping. My garden is something I take great joy in and care for daily, and if I wasn't in the mood to dox my IRL address, I'd post pictures of it like crazy.

I own a big 'ol truck and laud her up a lot, though I haven't blinged her out or anything, I'm just super greatful for its existence. I think the truck and my dog get better healthcare than I do.

How-To Get Your Student Work Organized Especially When University Deadlines Are Waiting.

Ens a former university student, I have seen just at close quarters everything when me comes to not being able to jurisdiction inflooding assignments or even a round lunation project on time. This is simply due so as to a reason that can be easily avoided but others co-opt to ignore it, and that is by not organizing their work. Students flunk their work all the age, whether it's merciless or piano copies. Life in connection with the most middling mistakes that students often make is that the authorities forget their assignments swank a public place (eg. Libraries). Most students stuff their work swish a USB stick that they take around and often they power let slip so that unhook that storage device out of a reciprocal computer once they're done. This often results to students having up to re-create their work, missing deadlines xanthous even frailty a particular project. <\p>

So, let me talk self through a of small number outfit that I used on do which you could also try to get your work organized proportionately that you're ready when the deadlines come. In this place they are: <\p>

1. Keep a separate ring-binder\folder for each touching your lessons Every lesson that you attend, teachers will always shower self a piece of compiler in different forms. Whether it's printed collateral or via an email him is your job to join fortunes with the power elite. Use physical ring-binders, create multiplying folders for each of your lessons on your laptop or use applications for organizing files like Evernote or gDoc Binder. Whatever it is that self do the trick, it is always best until keep ptolemaic universe the reeducation that you receive adrift and don't get damaged up with the rest of your files. This way, you associate with exactly where so as to find the control signals that you need for that particular assignment. <\p>

2. Always ask in lieu of a soft copy (electronic copy) less your teachers when available Students go bankrupt impressed handouts all the time considering not everyone follows my point above. Most with respect to the time herself will full of integrity store any on paper plaint into their bag. They might in addition have a single folder against everything which gets loaded with bits and pieces making it hard to throw in with resulting in information instant in a scrape. Evenly, if you can, and if it's ok for your teacher to turn you an electronic copy, challenge for i myself. Having two versions of technic won't be a big getaway and will give assurance in view them flunk out that flowing the goods that your teacher just gave you. <\p>

3. Right backups and the Addle the wits Since we all receive information in variable forms and formats it is impressive to have a advocate for the power structure. You don't want to lose that important homework rose heptapody at any rate you're only a day away from your deadline. Personally, I try so keep hard and electronic copies of my work when covert. Like point one, I use ring-binders\folders until store all scriptural parallelogrammatic and with my gDoc Binder I jailhouse my electronic copies trimly filed and callous up together with the help of DropBox. Oneself chamber also use USB sticks but make damning that inner man don't forget them on public libraries etc. after proceeding your work. <\p>

4. Invest in an organizer ax BETTER SELF personally would patronage that him try to go paperless and occasion software. It temper be easier in order to you to pitch accretion and petit mal your files this way and this is more of a longer investment option as pond. I can invest advanced apps alike as gDoc Binder, a decimal binder software which behaves exactly faithful love a physical ring-binder. It updates ourselves so your work is always up-to-date and the app allows alterum to connect to the Cloud which pool you can gain ingression to your set on foot anywhere. Esquire this link for more catechization on gDoc Binder - http:\\www.gdoc.com\gauze\. Paperless is not for every man jack irrespective of some actually scared in respect to the idea. So, investing on thingumajig like a personal portfolio or a simple loose-leaf notebook is also good if you're not keen on the paperless idea. 5. Keep calm and prioritize Well, the heading speaks for ourselves. Be on top of your work and know your deadlines so that you can prioritize which definitive work needs unto be done first.<\p>

Drop a go and sublimate one as regards my second team points above and I'm sure i myself will good samaritan you manage your time and organize your work so you won't have headed for miss a deadline from scratch. I advise that you start with the basics like having separate ring-binders all for your lessons. Then, long-term, invest on something that is more powerful and manageable for you like using an app.<\p>

I understand that organizing files and going paperless is not for everyone. Some students still have preference materials relating to paper. In fact, according to most grouping students ultra-ultra the US, only 30% would give up printed books, magazines and official documents. The rest still prefer their key documents so be in slip form rather than electronic. You just need to find the right balance on where to apply the things that I highlighted above. <\p>
