This week we had our Monday all-hands-on-deck meeting where we discuss what we did the previous week, what we're going to work on this week, and mention something cool that we did over the weekend. We also had our usual Fika that day, where the discussion topic was graduate school. Many of the professors/graduate students gave us insight about their graduate experiences, tips on financing school, and explaining the different reasons why they decided to go to graduate school, all while taking our questions. It was very informative and gave me a better look into the topic.
In lab, I finished the toggle recording button in PINATA (not as easy as I thought it'd be) and learned about Chrome Storage along the way. This button simply will not allow data to be recording based on mouse movement if the toggle button is switched to off. I also began to work on a timeout recording feature, which will stop recording data after a certain period of time and inactivity. This weekend I went to Canada with my friend who is also a DREU student at UMBC and one of my roommates. It was an amazing trip. Right before we arrived to the beautiful Quebec City, we climbed Cascade Mountain which is a part of the Adirondack Mountains in New York. After a night and an afternoon of sightseeing in Quebec City on Canada Day, we drove to Montreal. Our hostel was in Old Montreal, so we did a lot of walking to get to different places since Montreal and Old Montreal are two different places. We met up with a few friends that Francine and I have who happened to also be in Montreal the night we arrived. The next day we went to the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, a jazz festival, and then left toward home with a quick stop in Canada's capitol, Ottawa. For July 4th I marched in a parade with Francine, and my two roommates, one of which is running for state delegate. I got to meet the governor of Maryland and a state senator at the parade! As it seems, this week was very busy, but fun nonetheless.
