Today was our first day of real group project work. We had two classes this morning, the first of which was taught be a Canadian couple. Kelly and Bartholomew taught us about Data Structures, and we talked briefly about big O times. The class basically covered all of the data structs from AP CompSci AB in 90 minutes.. intense. Charles was back for our second morning class, and we went over some final tips for mercurial and pushing and pulling our projects from Google AppEngine.
We had actual group project working time in the afternoon, and we had another speaker come in and talk to us about Emotional Intelligence. We did breathing exercises to relieve stress and talked about being sensitive and empathetic towards others. Carolyn also gave us a talk about being smart and successful in college. We got together in small groups and listed things we were nervous about college and things we wanted to accomplish. We went around the room sharing common fears and goals and learned some good tips for staying on top of things in college.
We ate dinner and then stood around waiting for the bus to come and pick us up and take us back to SJSU. There are people starting to move into the building, so we had to relocate tonight to work on our projects, play music, and catch up on everyone's blogs. Tomorrow we have to get some work done because we have the intern boat cruise Wednesday!
over and out,
Lynn
