First All-Nighter

Might actually happen tonight. Why, you ask? Well, I have a huge 213 assignment due Thursday midnight (ie, tonight), and while I currently have a 58/64, I would like a 62/64 (I've sort of given up on the 64/64 because, well, that's near impossible at the moment).

In addition to that, I also have two assignments due on Friday, neither of which I have started. So sleep will happen after I finish 213 tonight, and hopefully get one of the assignments out of the way.

Swag I got at the job fair

Long Hiatus from posting because

SCHOOL FINALLY STARTED.

And by that I mean, the first week of school is over! First week of sophomore year, done. 

And with that, the school work begins. I've been doing well so far, although 213 has been kicking my butt, so hopefully I get somewhere with it soon. 

Short and sweet,

Happy Independence Day!

Today is August 15th, which means all around India, Independence Day celebrations will be occurring!

Quick update: We're now in Bhubaneshwar, where we will remain for the next five-ish days.

I'm in India!

And therefore posting will be extremely sporadic.

Enjoying the last 4 weeks of summer,

Last Day of Work!

Wow. The day I've been dreaming about since the beginning of July. Not that I didn't enjoy work, but I'm ready for a true summer vacation - the kind where you wake up at 11, do nothing until 4, realize that it's 4 and over half the day is gone and you should probably do normal-human-being activities like eating and showering, and by the time it's over it's 6 and so you laze around till dinner and then chat the night away with friends. Granted, I only get that for about 4 days this summer, since we're leaving for vacation soon after I get home, but I cannot wait! It's been a fantastic summer, and at some point, expect a blog post about things I've learned about myself, humans, Pittsburgh, and the universe in the course of 80 days of summer.

A surprisingly addictive website

www.webmathminute.com

Essentially, this tests your math ability by throwing 20 - 100 addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division (or some combination of the aforementioned) at you, and seeing how many you get correct in a certain amount of time. You can pick the minimum and maximum numbers, the number of questions you want to aim for, and if you want to "practice" a certain number, for example, the 3's multiplication table, that as well. It's a really simple concept, yet surprisingly addictive. I've spent a significant amount of time attempting to better my score.

Currently, my record is 81 multiplication questions in 60 seconds, with minimum number 1 and maximum number 12. I'm hoping to correctly answer 100 questions in the near future.

I might be a little bit of a math nerd,
