2008 Program Dates: June 18, 2008 - August 2, 2008Midterms are this week, blegh. I've calculated that I should have a 3.625 unweighted GPA and 4.325 weighted GPA at the end of this semester. At least Calculus (and everything else) is halfway over! I'm not stressing.
Applications will be available in late October.
I haven't blogged in a while. I've been thinking of things to post, but for some odd reason I just haven't felt like writing anything, sorry. So I'll give a quick recap of what might have happened:
- I can now 'Crank Dat Soulja Boy'. Not really, but I got $10 for a horrible attempt.
- I went to my first (and possibly last) football game. It was homecoming and Dillard won. Yay, I guess?
- I finally figured out an independent project to do for the rest of Interactive Design.
- Carnegie Mellon came to visit Dillard on Friday. Nothing special, except I "coincidentally" wore my SAMS shirt and the admissions officer pointed it out. I was shocked that she actually knew all about DARPA Grand/Urban Challenge and FIRST Robotics
- I narrowed down my college list a bit. 5 schools confirmed (MIT, WPI, UF, Tufts, Olin), 3 pending (Boston, Northeastern, CMU).
- Registered for the Dec. 8 ACT+Writing
- I still have a C+ in Calc :(
- Robotics Parent Meeting and regional registration and stuffs (Chicago --> Orlando --> ATL). Taught Autodesk Inventor to the noobs in mech.
- Previous Week: Rock Star Day and Superhero Day @ Dillard for a barely spirited Spirit Week

If you're into robotics you're *really* going to need that calculus. Robotics is all about probability these days (with a smidgin of geometry, algorithms, and control theory in there as well). The probability is all about integrals... (control is also calculus and linear algebra).
I hope that's a good encouragement!
