Hello all,

This is my first blog post here at ISU. These past 2 weeks have been very hectic for me. Earlier, I was scrambling to find a summer job and was completely lost on what my plans were. Then, I get a call from an Ames number, some things fell into place, and now I am here.

This past weekend was extremely fun. We went to Des Moines for brunch and an escape room. The escape room took place in this game room set and we had to find three keys to escape. I won’t go into further detail, so I don’t spoil the surprise, but long story short, we escaped. I also attempted to make Stroganoff for the first time, and I would say it went all right (not as good as my mom’s though).

And now this brings us to today. Earlier we started our weeklong course in C++. In all honestly, the language doesn’t seem too bad since there are some similarities with Java. I am looking forward to learning more about C++ and getting to the more complex concepts, but we got to start with the basics.

Best,
Sophie
