1.     Daily Update Tuesday Oct. 14

a.     Slept in until 10.

b.     Ate peanut butter banana, read articles for CS honors class, went to CS section, where we did linked list problems.

c.      Ate lunch at the HUB, then went to CS honors class.

d.     Debated Edward Snowden (reminiscent of current events). The professor admitted (it was pretty obvious) he had already decided pro-Snowden. Talked a little bit about a new security technique called two-factor authentication.

e.     Went back to dorm, ate peanut butter banana, read physics, then off to Honors 100.

f.      Listened to a panel of Honors Program professors. They all seemed interested in what they did. Science was slightly underrepresented (3 humanities, 1 science), but this could have been sampling error. One professor, a medieval history professor, talked about her planned class involving LARPing, which sounded awesome.

g.     Went to one of this week’s (Entrepreneurship week, who knew) panels, on three healthcare startups. It was very interesting. One woman talked about using on demand video calls with doctors to diagnose small problems, save emergency room visits, and so that people could purchase peace of mind. Another talked about his work in pharmaceuticals, and the third about developing molecular-level diagnostic tools. However, it was more formal than I expected. The free food was very deluxe—salmon, prosciutto, crostini, etc, and there was even free alcohol for older members of the audience. I should have stayed and listened to the conversations after the panel was over, but I think I was a little intimidated J

h.     Went to play basketball.

i.       Came back to dorm, did homework.

j.       Ate late dinner at Burger and Kebab Hut. Came back, answered email, wrote log.
