Now I shall move on from rugby and onto the rest of my term. I am doing a thesis this term and next term on real-time energy feedback in the dorms. This is an extremely boring description of a much more interesting project. However, the project is NOT going well and so I don't really feel like explaining it or my motivation for taking the project on. Sorry to be so curt.
I am also taking CS68: The Principles of Programming Languages. Oh the thrilling life I lead! I am the envy of at least 2 people who read this now. I am sure of it. To keep this story just as short as the thesis story, the course started out with 20 students and then there were 13 and now there are 5. I am hoping that the professor will give me a good grade just for remaining in the class. Although I am fairly certain that is not the way this process works. Bummer. My last class is Introduction to Biological Anthropology. It is a large lecture based class, which keeps me feeling safely anonymous, something I haven't had the chance to be in class since Sophomore year. In addition to these academic endeavors, I am also working as an Introduction to Computer Science grader. This means I teach a subsection of the class for an hour every Thursday. They are mostly freshmen and sophomores and naturally, mostly male. I think I am a pretty fun teacher and even though I am the one giving out their grades I have to admit that they tend to get pretty good grades so I am quite proud of them.
That covers work and academics. Extracurriculars: I am busy being VP of my sorority (Epsilon Kappa Theta). That's fun. We had formal a few weekends ago actually. Here are some photos of me at the formal.
This was taken by Abbie (possibly by her boyfriend), of me and Abbie. She fooled around with the colors because apparently we were all washed out from the flash. We aren't actually colored that way naturally.
This was taken by Diane of me and Angie. I love my dress but I think I was the least formally dressed woman there. I think that I look like I am fully prepared to visit toyland.
This was taken by Erin (uhh or perhaps her boyfriend, Eric) of me and Dave.
Many other things have been going on this term but I really can't say I feel like launching into a lot of it. I recommend you read this from The D (school newspaper) and this as well so that you can maybe get a small idea of some of things going on about campus that have meant a lot to me.
Hm, what else? I don't know. Let me know if you have any questions. As soon as I get pictures from Thanksgiving onto my computer I will put those up. This break has been pretty good so far. I stayed at school since going all the way back to California is just too far and expensive for such a short break. Not to mention the term ends so soon. I head home on the tenth of December. Ah yes, I also cleaned my room over the break and took pictures of it to send to my mum. Now I will post them here so that you too can enjoy how cozy my room looks. Ignore the bras and note the snow outside.
Okay! If anyone is reading this then I hope you enjoyed it!
No wait! Don't go yet, here are more pictures me and friends. . . we may or may not have been drinking and eating cupcakes baked by Emma. I can't say that the two really mix though.
