This past week I have not done a single thing. I have no cool photos to share, and not much interesting news...well some interesting news, but not NEARLY as interesting as the rest of my entries have been, though I have an excuse.

I finally went to my first History Through Film class...which is more of a film class than a history class. I LOVE the professor. She reminds me a lot of a professors from smaller schools, shes very interested in what we all think. I also liked both the movies we watched...they were about nuns. In addition to that I finally got some real homework. I am to write a program using prolog to solve a modified version of these kinds of puzzles:
In our version all the corners, except the bottom right are blocked, and nothing can be moved into them. I need to implement a manual mode, so that if the user wishes to change the puzzle around manually they can, a print function (obvs.), and a function to solve...the function that solves should also print the path that they took to solve. So basically it'll print out the moves made by the space (up, left, etc.), and also print the pictures of the board in each state.

I also have a very short, 4 pages, mostly expositional paper about a plato reading. Its going to be very easy though, its a simple argument and I already have some strong counter arguments floating around in my head.

I didn't go out to do anything fun on Friday because at 8 am I had my last google interview. Google asked me to interview for a different position in addition to what I interviewed before. The first interview was by far the worst interview experience of my entire life, and probably will be for the rest of my life. At this point I am totally exhausted from all these interviews which didn't help. The guy didn't even tell me his name on the phone, ask me how I was or anything about my resume. He constantly interupted me throughout the interview making it very difficult to think...he also confused me...a lot, as his interputions were often extremely vague comments. So in my confusion I got a lot of wrong answers...and he would actually laugh at me. I just..I became really really angry. I wanted to ask him to stop interupting me, but I also thought it would be rude. Especially because after everything was clarified (and clarification took a REALLY long time) the questions weren't hard at all. The second interview wasn't as bad. The questions were easy, but I hadn't practiced speed coding enough. I was nervous, which made me write my code a LOT slower. I got the right answers, just at a very slow rate. The interview went over. I wish I had practiced more. Anyway, it was good experience, and now I know exactly just how fast I need to write.

I am waiting to hear back from a couple places, EA Games, Facebook, and am going to send in my application to Pixar this week. I think itll take them a few weeks ago, I applied to Google and Microsoft long before I came to Hong Kong.

Saturday I planned to do a lot as well, but at 7 am Dorothy was on the phone with her mother crying. As it turns out, a stomach ache she had gotten last night, had intensified over the night. She said she wanted to throw up, but couldn't, and that when she went to the bathroom this morning she fainted twice. I walked her down the stairs and outside where her friend met her to take her to the hospital. I got locked outside of my dorm for about an hour and a half. I tried to break in a bunch of ways...but I couldn't. it actually made me feel pretty safe. Had I been willing to damage a screen window it would have been easier...

Once I got back inside I was totally exhausted...all the early morning rising and late nights were killing me. I fell back asleep for a LONG time. When I woke up I made Dorothy a big get well poster and had everyone on the hall sign it. I went to visit her, but it wasn't visiting hours so I had to drop off the poster and leave. I went back to the hospital later that night and spent the evening with her and some of her friends.

She's totally fine now. They figure it was just a stomach bug and that she fainted from not having eaten for like 2 days.

Anyway. I hope that THIS weekend I can do some more fun things and post some fun pictures for you guys. My friend Xin, born in China, moved to Toronto when she was 12, and I have a very similar class schedule. This wednesday were going to the beach after class to read and relax. I am very excited.
