Day 3

It's officially Wednesday, and that means I'm 1/4 of the way done!  Also-- it's only two more days to the weekend, which is almost as important.

Speaking of which, today means a new prompt: If I could meet any book character, what would I do with them and why?

Well, that's a wonderful question to which there is no short, good answer.  I suppose I would choose Tasslehoff Burrfoot, the kender.  If you understand who that is, we are now best friends.  If you don't know, kender are creatures with a complete lack of fear and no respect for personal property and are shorter than your average dwarf, and Tasslehoff is no exception (except for the fact he has the best tales to tell).  Basically, very friendly, tiny thieves who will alternate between setting powerful wizard gods on fire and stealing your silverware.

1. Although I know many people have already asked and tried to figure it out, I would ask how it was like to feel completely fearless in every situation.
2. Second, we would get into all the trouble.
3. Like, in jail.

 So onto my day today.  My rating first: 8/10.

The music was good as always (although lots more of the Harry Potter movie themes than I expected but that's perfectly acceptable).  I got tons of exercise chasing after beach balls in the morning and the Korean food was exceptional.  I have never actually had Korean food before but it was all good.  And I got in lots of practice trying to get the cookie properly in my mouth from my forehead: IT IS NOT EASY.

My bag for LilyPad Arduino is almost complete, with the exception of the fact I still need to sew things onto it, and also that I need to figure out the program code for the song How To Be A Heart-breaker by Marina and the Diamonds.  That's homework.

The app that I am working on in the team 'Whatevers' is called Bystanders and Burglars, and is an adapted version of Whack-a-mole.  It improves society by teaching a moral code and to always be on the lookout for potential dangers *cough*haha*cough*!

Since I had such a good day today, I'm signing this off with this note: human beings are adaptable and able to make anything feel more like a natural habitat.

Day 2

So here's the prompt: Type a run-on sentence of what all I need to do this week.

I need to update this blog every day at the end of the day, fill out the end of week survey everyday, code the LilyPad for the bag, figure out the main notes for the chorus of Heartbreaker by Marina and The Diamonds, update my tumblr layout, eat dinner, brush my hair, kep up with basic hygiene, write another 30 or so pages of my original story, beta my friend's novel and give her ideas on improvement, rewrite a song to make it extraordinarily violent as to be applicable to my Everquest adventure, drink the tea, eat the rainbow cake before it goes bad, update my fanfiction, read more fanfiction, draw things, draw things that may or may not be applicable to pokemon, clean my room, check the mail, take care of the cats, whose names are Mulligan and Bogey and who belong to my neighbor on vacation, start on my summer reading for AP English 12 and also my chemistry homework for AP Chemistry, and most of all, have fun.  *le gasp!* Okay so that's done.

I think I won that challenge, my friends.

Today, there was painting.  Painting!  In computer camp!  Blasphemy!  I brought in my fabric paints and my glasses especially because of my experiences and my warning.  I also brought in a slice of my wonderful lemon flavored rainbow cake, topped with lemon bars and coated in a sugary glaze.  Jealous yet?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  I have it on good authority that my baking is "okay" but it is well known in my house and beyond it, so much as to say perhaps even INFAMOUS, that I have the ability to kill people with anything food-related that I have participated in creating.

It's a good thing my art isn't like that.

Speaking of art: I saved my picture on another computer and I need to get it back so I can work on it some more.

What else need I say?  I'm surviving this place.  That's magic, don't you think?  Here I thought I would be ostracized from others from my sheer lack of computer knowledge and smarts (it is a well known fact that the stupid blonde stereotype comes from me), but it turns out it's just like school; I may not have made any friends, as expected, but I am starting to relax and assume that everyone else doesn't hate me as completely as I immediately expected.

That's a good thing, so the rating goes up.  Today was a 6/10.

Day 1

Today was my first day at the YWiC Summer camp, week 1.  So far, we have started learning the core concepts of programming, including functions, methods, variables, and et cetera.  This brought us to make posters as well as play jeopardy, which I am extremely bad at.  Jeopardy was never this hard back in AP Euro or AP US Gov, so it may be the subject and not the game itself?

Which brings me to: Memorization is not my strong point.

Then, we moved on towards to a progamming thing for LilyPad Arduino, which is the first sensible thing which happened today.  Finally, code, not people.

Teamwork, also not a strong point.

LilyPad Arduino is a programming type thing to make fabric light up and make sound.  We're designing bags, and I have a basic idea of what I want mine to be already.  It just will require a lot of work and red and pink LEDs.  So far this all is making me miss Webpage Design 2, because it hurts to think that I left so many projects behind unfinished.

Also, of most import: Where do I save things on this computer?  I started in on making a pixel doll on MS Paint in hopes of doing such in break times and during lunch instead of forcing myself to do any socializing.  But, where do I save it?  I'm nowhere near finished.  I'm thinking of saving it temporarily and then e-mailing it to myself, but I would be much happier without the extra work of doing that everyday.

On the most important note of the day: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Yes, as of today I am another year closer to death, and another year closer to the forced possibility of responsibility.  Ha!  Wait, no that's a lie, I will never become responsible, I will just get older and better at faking it.

Best thing of today: music.  I would've trolled with my headphones all day long, but I figured instruction followed the same type of rules; no headphones, no phones, no iPods, no mp3s, nothing that could distract from the educational experience.  I kept my music in my pocket and was rewarded with Pandora over the speakers instead.  Thank.

Today, on an overall scale, was a 5/10.
