those videos of people meal prepping all three meals of the day for 5 days a week on a Sunday….I KNOW they are gagging on their food by Thursday that chicken probably tastes horrible and the veggies are probably mush

#I understand some things can be prepped and be yummy for several days like soups and stews and potatoes etc but like. #come on steamed broccoli and roasted chicken … #with white rice…reminds me of the meals my dad preps for my dog when she’s not feeling well

post #168

- two 1:1 meetings

- intern lunch

- some afternoon melee

- evacuation drill

- two intern pair’s meeting

- some work

- bboy session

- getting done with some real work

- dinner with the fam

- chilling at home

today i:

- woke up at 8:15am. snoozed until like 8:30

brushed my teeth and fixed mah hair. ubered to work and got there around 9:20pm

ate some breakfast. the usual eggs, sausage and broccoli 

- got to my desk and started to review what i needed to do for the week/figure out what i needed to talk with my mentor about. also reviewed some of the objective-c code someone had given me some details about at the end of day friday

- around 10:30 i had a 1:1 with my co-mentor. we were just catching up on some misc things about setup and how i’m adjusting. it was a nice and chill conversation. i was in a really happy mood. i feel like a weekend with the fam helped me relax and recharge pretty well. 

also i think it’s safe to say i have a small crush on someone. maybe even someone from these blog posts....?!!?!??! (oOOoOo) she sent me a message during my 1:1 and just seeing the message kind of brought my mood up 

- went back to my desk and tried to clear up some more stuff before 11:30 like understanding what questions i was going to ask my mentor

- had a 1:1 at 11:30 with my mentor. i feel like this meeting helped clear a lot of my worries that i had. i wasn’t really sure what the next step for me in the project was and there were a lot of different things floating around. my mentor was able to talk me through what needs to be done/how everything fits together

- went to an intern lunch from 12:30-1:30pm ish. we went out to the far building this time. we took a shuttle bus there, i didn’t realize there was one. the first time i went, i took a 10 minute walk. the far building always has a taco stand (basically chipotle but free) and i got a bowl. it was deeeeelicious

- got back to my desk around 1:30pm. got settled down and started to get into working, but then bumped into fiona while trying to return my phone (the person who mans the hardware lab wasn’t there). she was like do you wanna play smash? and i was like sure why not cause there was gonna be an evacuation drill soon anyway. i started my builds (which usually take about 20 minutes) and we went downstairs to play some smash

one of the people who plays smash a lot told us to keep it quiet though. usually having the gaming set up out in a public area makes the sound carry around a lot. i’m glad he gave us the warning, we could’ve gotten other people angry/annoyed

- went back to work around 2:20pm. did about 25 minutes of work doing some set up/figuring out what i need to do to make my next PR. it was on an optimistic command handler, which xueyan had already worked on. she helped show me what code she had written and i was reading over it to try to see what i needed to do to get the same behavior. i also was having issues running the app with a signed in user for some reason. it said i didn’t have the authority to... even though i’ve been doing it this entire summer... so i was confused. i was kind of blocked by this earlier too, before i went to play smash. i tried to restart my linux machine cause i thought that’d work, but it didn’t

- had an evacuation drill from 2:30-3pm ish. me dan and john just hung out 

- had a meeting led by two of the other interns, ellen and lillia. they led the discussion on their intern project. it was a design review and it was really cool to see their game plan for the summer. we had a meeting with the whole team so seeing them talk through their thought process and have a back and forth with everyone was cool. i wish i had the opportunity to do something like designing/scoping my project. i’m still learning a lot from doing hands on stuff with mine though so i’m having a good time

- the meeting finished at 3:30pm, then i went back and after spamming my login several times, somehow i was able to get in on the app... sigh it’s really jank LOL. but i’m glad it worked

- went to a bboy session from 4-5pm. andrew wasn’t there today so someone else stepped up to lead the session. i forgot his name but he was pretty cool. we spent the session learning how to backspin. i learned a bit of it informally from like junior spring semester. it was good to learn the detailed steps. we also had 2 ciphers at the end which was fun. i really like that this is a thing, it’s a nice way to destress

- finally got back to my desk around 5pm and started making some actual progress. i migrated some of the code from xueyan’s and also tweaked it to fit into the context of my code. and then after some trial and error, i got it done around 6:40pm. i pushed my PR up for review and then left to meet my fam. they had been waiting outside around since 6:30pm

- we went to yummy szechuan for dinner and boy o boy was it yummy. we got bean curd with pork, some soup dumplings (which were tiny af), some tofu thing, some vegetable thing, and fried rice (cause my sister wanted it). my sister was in a bad mood. she was doing some SAT prep today and was unhappy with how she did on the practice test for math :/ she seems stressed out, but she’s making progress. the food was honestly so good tho. i was pretty happy. we chatted a bit after we finished eating, and then left around 8:30pm

- my parents dropped me off at my apt around 9pm and we said good bye :’( i took the remaining leftovers (fried rice and the bean curd + pork), and the leftover water bottles that they were unable to finish. they left to go back to the hotel and i’ve just been chilling in my room since then

i watched some more mew2king and zain gameplay, some fortnite vids. i took a shower. i tried to watch some of my old youtube videos and noticed there was a bug.... some of them are like super choppy. at like 10fps or something... i was trying to watch an old snowball fight video i took in slowmotion and it was hella choppy. i thought it was weird but then realized that a lot of my older videos all seem to have this glitch... this is a problem. i hope they can fix it

it’s 11:36pm now. overall, lots of meetings today but i feel like it was a productive and fun day
