This post is coming to you from sunny San Diego where it’s 62 outside and gorgeous right now. I just finished doing some reading while laying out and it was definitely nice to have a contrast to the relatively cold spring that we’ve been having in Boston.

Sadly, my time at home in San Diego for break is already quickly coming to an end. I’m only here until early Friday morning and then I’ll be flying back to Boston. It’s always nice to see my friends from home and see how things have slightly changed.

I haven’t really done any posts in a while because I’ve been so busy at Olin with things for Yellow Lights or for SCOPE or for CORe stuff.

To be more specific, in the last 2 weeks before break, my SCOPE team ran a 22-person focus group spread all over the Boston area involving cellphones with a program that we had developed. We had to coordinate all of the meetings as well as providing technical support for the buggy software that we had written. Luckily, the program was working decently for a majority of the ten days that the focus group was going on and we feel like we received a lot of justification for the decisions we’ve made to this point, which was good to hear.

In Yellow Lights, we’re slowly winding down with filming. We’ve got about 8 scenes still to film, 3-4 of which have dialogue, and we’ll hopefully be done with filming by the end of the first weekend in April. We’ve already begun the tedious editing process and so far we’re happy with how things have turned out. We may need to do some dubbing for the outdoor scenes, but luckily no complicated reshoots.

Last night, I was thinking about the fact that I only had two months left until I would be graduated from college. It’s still weird to think about, I guess.

Oh, one other thing was that I finally got to see the 2006 RX-8’s in person and I’ve picked the color and model that I’m going to order tomorrow! Here are a couple pictures as well as a link to all the pictures of the Phantom Blue RX-8 that I’ve taken.

As promised, here are some pictures from the Jason Mraz concert.

Jason singing his heart out.

Me and my sister at the concert. Note that she is wearing the official “Geek in the Pink” shirt.

I am definitely going to try and catch Jason in concert again next time he comes to San Diego.

To All San Diegans,

Please do your city a favor this Tuesday, and vote No on Donna!

I went to Disneyland yesterday with some friends from highschool. One of them, James, just got back from a 2-year mission in Italy. I think my highlight of the day was the fireworks show where they had worked in the different rides of the park in with the fireworks; really just very well done.

The Guys

Me, James, Luann, and Bree. (Notice, no goatee anymore.)
