Yet again another open house has come and gone at UConn. I was hoping it would go smoother than the last one back in October when the drone I use for my mind-control demos decided it didn't particularly like the carpet in C80 and thus wouldn't fly. I was right (well, sort of).

I got to go to my second hackathon this weekend, this time being my first health hackathon. Way back when it was announced in a email from Upsilon Pi Epsilon, I considered going but eventually ended up forgetting to RSVP with the busy semester. I was invited to be on a team by someone I was tutoring only two days before the hackathon kickoff. I had plans with a friend but figured I could reschedule them but I wouldn't be able to reschedule a hackathon so I agreed to go.

Christmas eventually rolled around as family asked on a status update for my internship application. I gave them all the same answer -- still waiting. The great wait.

Not long after getting in touch with my recruiting contact, I picked my day for the technical interviews. More nervous than I'd ever been in my life, I pushed the date out as far as possible -- to Thanksgiving break, 5 weeks from then.

It was the 14th of October as I was sitting in Beach Hall for Software Engineering waiting for lecture to start when I heard my inbox notification go off. Glancing at the subject, I became curious as to what the email was about. I saw a forwarded message of a forwarded message of an email from a UConn alumnus who was doing some recruiting for Google a couple weeks earlier. He had just so happened to hear about my mind-controlled drone project and was interested in sending my contact info to more recruiters at Google. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Google -- the company I've wanted to work for since joining the CSE program.
