12/6/16: Quiet Amidst the Storm

1. 12/6/16
1. Slept in a little bit, caught up on quantum reading, delicious oatmeal breakfast
2. Went to music building, worked on CaC presentation
3. Met with Michael, who really liked the website we had built him.
4. Grabbed lunch at the HUB, ran into Evan, ate together
5. Returned to Paccar to prep the presentation.
6. Presentation was a bit of a struggle for me, just wasn’t in the right state of mind, but I got through it. We got funded (actually the judges told us we needed to ask for more funding so we could put together a better portfolio of design and photography work for our sales effort. (We’re contracting with student friends of ours to offer these services.)) Plus one of the judges offered to mentor us for next quarter, he seems like a great guy and a solid businessman.
7. Glee rehearsal was solid. We sang well, everyone had clearly prepped for the concert. At the end David played for us a) a song we’re going to sing next quarter, a quasiclassical irish piece which sounds really cool and b) us in concert singing Canst Thou Love Me, Lady, a piece where everyone sings falsetto and where we actually all sounded really good.
8. Back to 2104, help Xin with his embedded systems programming assignment. Part of his code goes from not making any sense to being readable and being something that ought to work, and yet the project still doesn’t pass tests. Hope that works out!
9. Go to Mongolian Grill with Xin; it is delicious.
10. Run to the gym to get some exercise in before end of day. People are still there hooping, can’t believe it. I get into a game, lots of fun!
11. Back to 2104, clean the room, do laundry, fun conversation with Molly in the hallway. Write this log, shower, throw my laundry in the dryer, and sleep.
