The Marvel Google

Today went really smooth for a Monday. I think that with the creation of Marvel Monday Monday's have been more bearable, haha. Brison had some time with which he posted a character of the day, which he picked as The Human Torch. (Side Note: For those of you who don't know what Marvel Monday is, Marvel Monday is a tradition Brison, Stickley, and I started. At the most basic level, Marvel Monday is just the three of us wearing out X-Men shirt, but it is so much more than that. =D)


I got up this morning on my own, which was really nice. The bus ride went pretty smoothly, possibly because I think I fell asleep on the bus. Haha. Mayhaps my remembering to bring my Zune helped out. I awoke, and it felt a little weird being back at Crittenden. Luckily, I had a seat next to Lynn and Tasha, and was sitting behind Enrique.

I'm taking a moment away from blogging to state that Emily is laying on the couch beside be saying, "BLOOOG!"

Our first class wasn't taught by Charles, but it was still mildly interesting. It would have been way more interesting had I not been on the verge of falling asleep. Haha. Kelly and Bartholomew taught us about a bunch of data structures, and which ones were best for which situation.

We had a break before Charles came back in to teach us. I was a lot more awake for his lesson. Probably due to his general awesomeness. He taught us a lot about mercurial, but I spent most the time working on a math game for our final project. Lunch was much appreciated when it came around. I didn't get much at the first cafe, but once we all finished and headed back to the class room I took a detour to The Lunchbox, a different cafe that has a build your own sandwich option. Sourdough bread, cheddar cheese, and turkey. =D

After lunch we got to listen to a presentation by the amazing Carolyn. She talked to us about success in college. I definitely feel a lot more excited and prepared for college than I was. It was real interesting getting to talk to other people and seeing how the general hopes for college, as well as the fears were the same for a lot of us. I also liked listening to all the advice that Carolyn gave us.

After that we had group work time, a discussion about Emotional Intelligence, and then more group work time. I'm going to lump the two together after I talk about Emotional Intelligence. Jenny came to talk to us about what Emotional Intelligence was and how it could be used to lessen stress and other such things. She had us do a bunch of cool activities for us to do, including this one that almost put me to sleep. She had us close our eyes and think about something stressful, and then she had us focus on breathing. Right away I started to relax and I think I fell asleep for a bit. It was very informative though.

In our group work times I grabbed a blue beanbag for the first one, and the yellow one for the second one. They were both really relaxing, and it felt a lot better than sitting in a chair. Linda worked on ironing out how the game would run on the web page, Brittany worked on figuring up the profiles for the different people, and I worked on figuring up a math game. During one of the breaks I went with Kat to go get drinks. We talked about the experience of CSSI. It was nice getting to know Kat a little bit better.

When we got back down to the room Jessica (Not the CSSIer) and I joked around. Shout out to her, especially since I told her I was going to mention her. I'll be nice however and not say her last name. =D After that I biked over to main campus to eat at Charlie's. I really like the burgers they make there. We got back, and rushed up to the front where the bus was supposed to get us yet. Kat was out there, and her bus pulled up before ours did so she said bye, and started to walk toward the bus. The driver must not have seen her because he started driving off before she could get there. Thankfully, the driver stopped and let Kat on. =D Our bus still wasn't there at 7:30, so I called Jessica. She kept trying to get a hold of Kat or figure up where the bus was for us, while we just played around outside Crittenden.

Our bus finally showed up and we got on it, calling Jessica to let her know that the bus showed up. I fell asleep listening to The Fray with Christian on the way back. We got back to the dorm and found that our lounge was inhabited by some people we didn't know, so we came to our room to hang out. After a while of hanging out, listening to Kyle complain about people on Facebook as well as my music choice, we decided to go to Jack In The Box, and 7-Eleven.

Lynn did some pretty epic parkouring as did Enrique and even myself for a bit. Now, we're all just hanging out in the living area of my suite, having a good time. Our plan is to go to sleep early tonight. Hopefully. =D
