Sorry about the lateness. I'll do another post later tonight. Maybe instead of S and T days, I should do SMWF (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday) updates. And then I'll be late on those too and it'll become MTTS days. Math question: How many more iterations of delaying posts each day will it take to bring it back onto proper schedule? (I'll post an answer later today for the Sunday post).
Well, anyway, onto the Big Three!!
1) On Friday night, I went to a friend's engineering halloween party, which was pretty fun. I talked to a lot of people and got into a long discussion about water and the world, it was pretty interesting!
2) And all of Saturday was a study day, so I spent half of it studying by myself in the lounge and the other half studying with other friends in the class. I got a lot of programming done and feel more confident for the test. Today will be a study day, too, and later on there will be office hours to answer any additional questions.
3) Eli, the former head of Treehouse Society, graduated last year and now goes to grad school in NYC. So over the weekend, she came to visit. So a bunch of Treehouse Society people and I went out to dinner and then hung out afterwards. It was nice to catch up with everyone again and afterwards we baked cookies (but forgot a key ingredient), so it turned out more like brownies. Still tasted good though!
Anyway, I'll post another later this evening. Bye now!!

Post Number 50!
Wahoo! Post number 50!! The big five-oh, let's go!
1) Yesterday we celebrated one of my friend's birthday. We got him a cake and sang in the cafeteria so that was pretty fun!
2) Today in leadership class we talked about Transformational leadership, the ability to bring people to their full potential and inspire them. We also watched a video on Michelle Obama and another on Steve Jobs, both charismatic and inspiring leaders. Someday I hope to be as articulate and as great of a leader as they are.
3) Tonight I finished up some essays for this LeaderShape workshop, a week long event where we work and learn more about leadership. I'll turn in my application tomorrow and hopefully get accepted.
Well, I'm gonna go to bed. Good night, dear readers. Happy 50 Posts, and here's to 50 more!

Late is great! No it's not. It's late.
Yeah, as per the title, this blog post is late. Apologies around, let's get down to brass taxes. And that means- da da da DAAA!! Big Three! Let's go!!
1) On Monday I went to two meetings. The first one was with a Genetic Professor talking about this project: Scientific Animations Without Borders. In it, I'll be working on animations teaching how to do agriculture, prevent diseases, and other things to developing countries. The meeting was a mix between info-meeting and interview, but I think I'll be able to work on the project since they're always looking for talented people.
2) And the second meeting had to do with my Leadership Certificate, so this talked about the next step: creating a Personal Development Plan. That just outlines how I want to improve myself and my goals for school and beyond. Over the weekend I'll work on it, and over the next few weeks, I'll be refining it with my leadership coach.
3) For a lot of yesterday and after my classes today, I was in the art computer lab working on some videos for my interaction and time based art classes. It's been fun, but still a lot of work to get it all done.
Alright, I'm gonna get back to work on other homework. Check again with you readers tomorrow, bye!!

Post on the 7th or 1st day of the week, depending on the country calendar.
It'sa Sunday. It'sa blog post! Let'sa go!
1) Today I went over to the Quigley's for service. It was actually pretty good. If you didn't see it, In Jin Nim wasn't speaking, instead Reverend Shanker gave the sermon. He talked about unity and love, and coupled it with several anecdotes from his life, so it was interesting. Afterwards, Mrs. Quigley, their son Joshua, and I went over to this elderly lady's house and helped rake her yard.
2) After that, I worked on homework and studied ECE 190 for about two hours. Not so much fun there, haha.
3) And then tonight, Steve and I went out to go swimming. And after we were both dead tired, we went out to Cravings- Chinese food- for dinner. Food tastes so much better after a difficult work out. And since I haven't swam in a long time, I was using muscles I rarely use. Now I'm going to finish up some stuff and go to bed early (i.e. before midnight).
Bye now, dear readers!!

Pah-pah-pah POST!
Hey there! There are two ways to go into the water: you can step in, inch by inch as you adjust to the water, OR you can just jump right in. With this blog post, we're going to go with the latter! (Though, by using this lengthy introduction, ironically it's actually the former.) Anyway, BIG THREE!
1) Last night, I hung out with friends and we watched this independent film called Garden State. It was a romantic-comedy type film, and they had a really great soundtrack to it. I really enjoyed it! (It also had a little cameo with the actor who plays Sheldon from Big Bang theory!)
2) This afternoon, I had to film some stuff for both of my art classes. One was recording the different gestures for my user interface. I'm not actually designing an MP3 player, just gestures to control it. The second film was a dream sequence for my Time Arts class. I got some friends to help out and we got almost everything done, so I should be ready to move onto editing and post-production. Woo!
3) Tonight, a bunch of friends and I drove off campus to go through this corn maze. Instead of just trying to go from point A to point B, you had to find 8 different checkpoints hidden throughout the maze. It was actually a lot of fun, but as the night went on, it got a lot chillier. Still though, it was a great halloween-esque event!
Alright, I'm going to sleep. Bye now!!

Terribly sorry for missing Tuesday, Double Post today!
I don't know if you care about rationalizing or not, but I've been extremely busy with homework and writing essays for an application so I missed Tuesday. But that makes today special. You know why? For the first, and only time, I introduce to you- dear readers- (Drum roll please...) THE BIG SIX!! (Gasps!) Here are six different events/things and, similar to Panera Bread fashion, you pick two! to comment on. Here we go!
1) Yesterday (Wednesday), I had my job again. My group actually started making substantial progress in their work. They're the group making a backpack that could also function as a desk. For the past two days, they were just sitting around not really doing too much because they were waiting on supplies to come in, but now that they arrived, they're actually buckling down and working. And while they working is good for the project, it makes my job a lot easier (since I don't have to direct as much).
2) After my job I had math class. It's starting to get a lot more challenging and more difficult to keep up, but I'm still trying to stay on top of it. I was able to answer a couple questions in class though, so yay to that!
3) On Wednesday night, Treehouse Society had it's cartoon and fingerpainting event! It was a lot of fun just to put my stresses aside and just paint. I created this story of two people who hated eachother, but were turned into a giraffe and a turtle by a wizard. Then they have to traverse the lands (i.e. the canvas) to turn back to normal. People seemed to like my story and suggest I make a children's book out of it. Anyway, that event was fun!
4) Now the reason why my Tueday update was late, my essays. I'm applying to be a resident adviser for Hendrick next year. I don't know if I can get it, since there's only two open spots, but it would be awesome if I got it! Fingers crossed.
5) Today in ECE 190, we finally started going over the stuff I didn't fully understand last year. Namely pointers. Now I get it a lot better. Pointers point to a location in memory, as opposed to containing some value.
6) And then this afternoon we had interaction class and I presented my gestures for my MP3 playing device. People seemed to overall like it, but still offered some critique to improve it. Now I have to record some videos of people using the gestures and present that for next class.
Alright, the one and only TOP SIX. Sorry about the lateness, but enjoy! Bye now!!

Stay alive, it's forty-five!! (Post, that is)
Yup, we've been at this for forty-five posts! Let's see how many more we can do, shall we? So without further abu, the BIG THREE!
1) I'm sure you've heard the Bruno Mars "Lazy Song" right? "Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just want to stay in my bed!" Well, that's kinda how I felt this morning and early afternoon. I was like a platypus, I didn't do much. But then I decided to go out and do stuff!!
2) On quad day (first weekend I got back), I got this plant. Now I've been watering and growing this plant, but now it's reached a point where it's too small for its current container (a little styrofoam cup.) So I got a two liter soda bottle and cut it to form a bigger container. Recycling FTW!
3) Tonight I went over to the Quigley's for a church service. It was pretty good and afterwards we had dinner and talked. Well, I'm gonna head to bed. Good night, dear readers!!
