Summer excitement
Hello Class of 2013,
I haven’t been up to date on my blogs like everyone else, so I have a lot to write about. First off, this summer has been so exciting and fun in so many different ways. I’ve gone hiking, canoeing, camping, exploring the beautiful gorge right in Troy, and so much more, and [...]
An end to my sophomore year
The past couple weeks have all been winding down to finals week. Most of my classes have been getting in a few last chapters for the third set of midterms and reviewing for our last exams. Introduction to engineering dynamics has also been a bit busy getting all the final pieces together, but, if anything, I’m staying calm and preparing to go home.
It’s summer!
And the year comes to a close. Let me just start off by saying that my freshman year at RPI was amazing and I could not imagine being anywhere else! Yes, it was hard at times and I spent a lot of my free time studying, but I think it will definitely pay off in the end.
Classes are over but the journey continues
Traveling from distant states is quite the experience, believe me. All the long-distance travelers tend to arrive at the same time and use the same group of flights/trains/buses, so there’s always someone to talk to on the last leg of the journey.
A lot goes into making video games
There aren’t words to describe the sheer boundless waves of work that come on the last couple weeks of classes. Presentations, in-class final exams, essays, etc. … all come due in the same short span of time.
I can smell the air again!
The temperature has finally gone over the sixty-degree mark and the wind has picked up. In my humble opinion, the best weather at RPI is definitely high winds and a temperature in the 60s. I’m absolutely overjoyed.
The semester will be over in only a month
It’s time to prepare for my final tests. I don’t have a real final this semester, as all my classes are having the finals in class. It makes me realize something, though: The semester will be over in only a little over a month—I’m almost in shock. It has gone by too fast! I had so much more I wanted to do this year! Ah, well. Time to start planning summer vacation.
A surprise visit
Song Playing: Frank Valli — Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You
My parents decided to come visit me today! They came and brought up some “dim sum” for me. It was truly salivating when a whiff of the dim sum came tingling down to my senses.
