Hi hi
Today we spent a couple hours working in our deeper dive groups. Andrea, Chu-Chu and I were able to narrow down our focus for our project so it’s more feasible to complete in just a little over a week. We also spent a little bit playing some games with the VR headsets. I played one that had such cool and realistic graphics. The game also helped me see what kinds of features we can implement in our own project in terms of locomotion and user-controlled interaction.
On Saturday we all went thrifting for a few hours after breakfast, and then spent a few hours at a mini outdoor waterpark near campus. That night some of us went out to get froyo, and then when we got back to Freddy, we ended up hanging out in the parking lot for like 2 hours because Angelica was teaching us the Cumbia dance and some others. The feet-hips coordination is what I struggle with, but it was fun to hang out with everyone and learn something new.
On Sunday, I decided to walk to campus to lay out in the shade and read. It was so peaceful and quiet. I just started a new book that Angie lent me. It’s called Sharp Objects, and so far so good. Then Harrison, Ruby, and I laid out in the sun for a few hours outside our apartment. I made another beaded bracelet – I’m addicted to making them now :0
Harrison, Sophie, and I also finalized which articles we’re going to include in our literature review for our final paper yesterday. The goal is to start writing it as soon as possible to avoid being overwhelmed with work during the second half of the summer.
I couldn’t relate more to how relaxing it is to read on campus when it’s quite (and not too warm!). Also I’m glad to hear you are working on your literature reviews! Attending the early crafts of research classes might have been worth it haha
