Untitled #7

Weather’s been perfect lately. After class yesterday, went out with Capstone Team KDK, Trevor, Sean, and Ryan for lunch at Agua Verde. Not so into the food, a little to veggie-cetric para mi, but I dig eating outside in the little park area by the water. So it was cool to spend time outside away from the usual Ave/HUB lunch routine out by the water. Hung out and fed chips to the ducks and sparrows before walking back to campus.

Yesterday IUGA hosted our second faculty lead workshop. As with anytime you invite a speaker to present, turnout becomes a large concern. But turnout was good. The topic was data mining and it was interesting stuff. Looks like people who are taking Advanced Databases next quarter are in for a treat.

Later that night, caught the bus up to the Hill for Susan’s surprise birthday dinner. We had sushi at Hana’s. Didn’t think we could fit a party of twenty-one in that tiny place but found out there’s upstairs area, just large enough for the table, haha.

Good times were had. It was awesome to see Susan’s face when she showed up to see us all there. The food was pretty good. Ryan and I split a boat of sushi and some chicken teriyaki and katsu. (Ah I could use a roll right now.) Afterward we ended up waiting for a while for the bus ride back, but no worries. Had fun hanging out and repelling Tho’s attempts to ninja attack me when I wasn’t looking. (Tho–I pwn your FACE).

Wrapping up Capstone now. Next week: our final presentation and report due for class. The following week: the deliverables for our client (website, prototypes, system recommendations) and giving that final presentation to the usual staff and their director who has been out of the country for the entirety of our project. A lot ahead. It feels weird to come to the end of the quarter.
