Let&#8217;s break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wednesday<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We had our MCA presentation on Wednesday, and it was kind of stressful.  I am used to speaking in front of people, but I over think things and become anxious.  Our presentation was about machine learning and self-driving cars.  For the past two weeks we were learning about machine learning and the process around it.  I enjoyed watching all of the presentations and thought they all were pretty interesting.  This coming semester I have a machine learning and am very thankful for some background information into the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thursday<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There were 8 of us that went to go see Inside Out 2, which was pretty enjoyable.  The first movie came out like 9 years ago (I feel old) and I was in either in 5th or 6th grade which is crazy.  I thought the movie was good and anxiety seemed the most realistic to me.  I thought some of the dialogue was funny since it didn&#8217;t seem the most realistic, but it was still funny.  Following the movie we went to go get ramen.  This was the first time I was having actual ramen, and it was really good.  I had gotten steak ramen and would get it again.  After that we kind of hung out and enjoyed the Fourth of July and the break we had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weekend<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For the weekend I went home to see my family.  I was extremely excited for this since we had just gotten a new orange kitten named George.  It was really nice seeing my family and just having some time away after a somewhat stressful week.  I got to play with my dogs and have homemade food which was so nice.  I also got to see my grandparents which was really sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I got back, we went to our grad mentor&#8217;s house.  The dinner there was marvelous, and I need to recipe (I am looking at you Aron).  It was a really nice house and was fun to meet his family.  We played some basketball and volleyball after dinner.  Then I showed how good I was at Mario Cart (I got last for most of the races).  I really enjoyed the time we spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s all folks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CoR Questions:<br>CommHeat: What kind of personas have you created so far?
