After missing famous last words last week, I'm back and ready for some updates.
This past weekend I was in Kansas City with the high school robotics team I mentor. We were at our first competition of the season, so it was really hectic. I am the drive team coach for the team, and it is super exciting and intense. We seeded 7th after our qualification matches and then lost in the quarterfinals to the 2nd seed. We could definitely have done better, but it was a lot of fun and our next competition is in OKC this week!
Classes have been going alright for me, but I'm about to hit midterms. This semester all of my exams occur over two weeks: this upcoming week and finals week. Control Theory is the feature exam, and it's on Thursday, so I need to study hard. Meanwhile, I can't sleep on Understanding Theatre, but I think I can get all of the studying for that one done on one day. Those two classes are so different, so it will be interesting to see how that exam is written.
I haven't gone to Computer Vision in a week, so I should probably go back. Research has also been difficult because it's just hard in general. Hoping to get back to winning ways in those two areas.
My college robotics team is doing fairly well and I'm working on new projects there. It is a lot of fun, and it's nice to use things I learn in class to make the team better. Even classes like this one and Understanding Theatre teach me things that I can use in robotics, so maybe gen-eds are good after all!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the week ahead, but am nervous at the same time. One shot, one opportunity for these exams. Let's get this.
