Hey guys,
I'm writing this on my phone right now, so it won't be too long. I'm on a road trip with my pledge class over our four day weekend. We'll be heading to other chapters of ADPhi and hopefully studying up about the fraternity along the way.
I had my first hell week, which was mostly self-induced. On Saturday, I did a puzzle hunt held by an IT company called Palantir, and a team of us at ADPhi competed for around 6 or 7 hours. Then I watched Shaun of the Dead for the first time. Great Saturday.
Sunday, I got up around 6 to go to Maker Faire in New York. The event is hosted by a magazine called Make, which is all about cool DIY projects people do, and the Faire was a chance to see a whole bunch of this stuff up close. A lot of the projects involved using Arduino processors in cool ways, like a Linux tablet, a keyboard/motion tracking mouse glove, and 3D printers. This, as you might imagine, took up a significant portion of my Sunday.
Now what was happening with my homework during all this time? I had an essay due and first bio test to study for on Monday, and psets due Tuesday and Thursday. Nothing started by the time I began working on Sunday, 10pm.
Lessons learned: start psets at least a day before they're due; don't try to learn the material the night before the pset is due because you've skipping lecture; playing pool is not an efficient way to learn material; interesting things happen when you go out for pizza at 3 am.
Next week, I'll hopefully have some cool stories about pledge road trip!
