I’m a
biology major. That being said, I spent
most of Saturday writing a program to post Tweets. I’m not even in a computer science class, but
my E&D (Exploration and Discovery) professor is part of the computer
science department and one of our assignments is to create a twitter bot. Honestly I could have done it in about a
quarter of the time I spent, but I really enjoyed the assignment. My program replaces two words in a random
quote, attributes it to a random person, and tweets it. Most end up being nonsense, but occasionally
they turn out well. If you would like to
see examples you can find it at @Misattributor ( https://twitter.com/Misattributor

I finished
both my first chemistry and biology midterms so life is better now, but one of
my roommates has an upcoming biopsychology midterm so life in the dorm is
staying just as crazy and I haven’t seen another roommate since this morning
because she’s been in the library working on a paper almost the entire day. My weekend has been somewhat saner and the
portions that weren’t spent coding were spent baking bread and calling home to
celebrate my little brother’s birthday.
The bread worked out fairly well considering I don’t have yeast, and it
was nice to catch up with my family for a bit.
L&C
Everyday Life: Cooking
Each dorm
here gives you access to a kitchen, the sizes and shapes vary, but it’s a
kitchen nonetheless. At the minimum you
will have access to a fridge, microwave, stove, sink, and a small amount of
counter space. Most areas have cookware
belonging to the dorm such as baking trays and frying pans, but what is there
depends a lot on luck and what previous students have left behind. I definitely would recommend you bring your
own bowl, cup, silverware, etc. but personally I would wait until you arrive to
go out and by pots and pans. I do own my
own cookie sheet, frying pan, and small pot, but that’s just personal
preference because I would rather always be sure where I can find them and be
absolutely certain they are clean.
