There goes another week of classes. I am so glad that today marks the end of what was an exhaustive week for me. There is nothing that can compare to the thought of having three days off (well, I do have work on the weekends and I also have to write 2 four page papers as well as a lengthy report on a company I am researching for in my business class). That reminds me I had a presentation today in my business class which turned out to be a really fun group project. We had to come up with a new invention that was somewhat feasible, and persuade the classthat there was a market for this product. I came up with the idea for my group to invent "Ice Cream Chips." Here was our company logo (click on the link):
I have to admit it doesn't look too shabby? The product idea is basically a potato chip wrapped in a layer of organic vanilla ice cream and then coated with a thick layer of either dark or milk chocolate, which is all frozen. Doesn't that just sound good? We added a late 50's theme to it and we decided to start out first on the west coast to test out the product and if it was succesful, gradually move across the nation. But since we weren't running on a budget technically we could have gone international. All in all, I think our group did pretty good and I was proud of the way we cooperated with one another despite the fact that we had two weeks to prepare. But ours wasn't the only great "invention," there were others which were rather interesting, such as a jacket that determines whether a person needed to be warmed up or cooled according to the individual's body temperature.
Oh I forgot to mention, on Wednesday, April 23rd from 10:30-1:00 the Bothell campus will be hosting a "College Awareness Day" for underrepresented students from local area high schools and I have been invited to serve on the panel to field questions from potential college bound high school students. I'm really excited about this opportunity to share what I've learned from college life and impart it to high school students. It was just last year that I was a wide-eyed college student yet to graduate from high school, so I can relate to what they will experience. If you would like to add your experience of college life and what you have gotten out of it then please email me.
Has anyone noticed the sun peeking through the clouds these past couple of days? I wished I could have stayed out in the sunlight last week but, unfortunately I had to work.
It was cool though, I still played some basketball with my brother to keep up my conditioning, but its hard maintaining a disciplined regimen throughout the quarter. I guess working though does have its benefits (besides for the pay). For example, if I hadn't been working just a few weeks ago I wouldn't have known about the lunar eclipse scheduled to happen that night. And in case you missed it here it is:
Time seems to fly when I let my mind wander. I better get back to this paper I was telling you about for my business class. I'll keep you posted on next week's events on campus.
QUESTIONS or concerns about this week's blog (or previous ones)? EMAIL me at aminm11@u.washington.edu and I will respond to your comment as fast as it takes for my brother to sink ten three pointers in a row, (which, for those of you that don't know, is pretty fast).
