Hello fellow internet dwellers!

 Recently I was assigned to create a business and tech blog for a social media class with a few other people. Despite the fact that none of us are technology savvy, we are still being graded on how many views we get in comparison to the other teams in our class. We write all of our own posts, and its mostly just on recent news about cool-ish stuff. Nothing too techy. Its pretty painless to read, I promise. So I will put this here in case you’re ever bored and feel like helping college students get good grades.

Today I went on TechTrek NYC with the Boston College Carroll School of Management, and Tumblr was one of the 5 firms that we were lucky enough to visit. My first posts are going to be of pictures from my visits, but I’m hoping to turn this tumblr into a self expression platform; where you can see the things I’m doing as well as the things I like and am following.

After putting much effort into making a GIF chain for my day. I think I'll just describe it with text. I'll probably never GIF my day again, My GIF collection sucks and it takes a LOT of time to find the right one xDWell, so this was my day, I just suddenly felt like blogging about it.

Woke up at around 7:30am today to get ready to go out and stuff. Me and my mom left for our bus but we just happen to miss it. We had to walk all the way down to Broadway to catch the number 9 instead. We waited for a bit then our bus came. Then we hopped on the 99 at Broadway Station to UBC. When we got there, we missed our stop and rode all the way to the bus loop. We didn't know how to get to the place so my mom awkward approached a random stranger and asked her if she knew where it was, and she didn't. My mom is such a creep. We eventually found the right building from the lady guiding us in the right direction, so she was help. Once we found the building, we had to find the room. Me and my mom awkwardly wandered the halls for like 5 minutes before we bumped into another parent who was looking for the place too. We eventually found the room with the help of some of the staff in the building.

So I awkwardly enter the room and we signed in and stuff. They also gave us a goodie bag with a bunch of stuff in it, a lot of post-its, that's all I can say. Then I awkwardly walked around and picked a seat in the corner of the room. The atmosphere in the room was so awkward, no one talked and was just staring into space. I also just sat awkwardly and waited for it to begin. Then this girl sitting two spots from me, turned around and looked around, we somehow made eye-contact and I awkwardly waved at her. She gave me a WTF look and asked if she knew me. That was REALLY awkward.

Finally we started with all the introductions and all the jazz. We then went on and played the name game. where everyone says an adjective and their name, and then everyone after has to repeat it. That was ALSO very awkward since no one could remember anyone's name and everyone talked so quietly that people couldn't hear. That also took a long time. Then we had a little time to mingle around with the other kids, before we started to play a game of charades. Then we formed our groups. We all had to get into groups of four. My group was with Tom, Johnston and Veena, the Asian Nerds. Tom is a kid going into Grade 11, he was the oldest in our group. Johnston was going into Grade 9 and was kinda quiet and really awkward. Veena was the only girl in the class, she was a Straight A student and was also going into Grade 9.

We had a little time to talk then it was time to start working on our robot. We started by sorting all our materials out. Then we started building. That pretty much just continued for a few hours. Me and Johnston weren't really much help since we both always failed and were not very good with our hands. Tom was really good at the building stuff. It was actually kinda amazing how he did it so well. Veena was more of the boss of the group. She would instruct us on what to do and get the materials organized. She would also worry about things not working and stuff.

After working for a while, at around 12ish, we went for lunch. We grabbed our stuff and headed outside to eat. I thought we were gonna eat at picnic tables or something, but we just ended up sitting on a patch of grass in the middle of nowhere. I ate my lunch which included, a hotdog, some fruit, a cookie, a can of chips and a juice. I finished my lunch quickly and made a new friend. It was a little ant which had somehow managed to crawl onto one of my chips. I played with it for a bit and I wanted to name it but couldn't think of anything. Veena was spazzing really hard and wanted me to get rid of the ant, but I just chased her around with it. We just awkwardly stood around for the rest of lunch.

After lunch we continued working on our robots, it was pretty much the same as it was before lunch occurred. We just kept building our robot, but it took a long time. By the time we finished, all the other groups were way ahead of us and programing it already. Our group was the farthest behind. And then we tried to start programing it. But we found out that one of our motors wasn't working. So we had to disassemble a few parts to replace it. But then after we changed the motor, it STILL wasn't working. We just kept working at that motor. It took us at least an hour. And the thing is, we still hadn't fixed it by the time class was over, so we just left it there for tomorrow. It was really sad and really aggravating how it wouldn't work

So in the end, everyone departed their ways. Me and Johnston bussed together on the 99 to Broadway Station, then he went home since I wanted to get some food. I went and got some food from McDonalds. It was really awkward in there since like 3 people came asking me for change. So I finished my food and went home. When I got home I took a nap on the couch since I was so tired from waking up so early.
