Last night was finally my last night of work at Michelin Tires. This past week I've been working on night shift and I never got that much sleep during the daytime cuz I was doing other stuff. Now I only have 2 days to start packing and get everything ready for this trip and for school.
Besides working, I've been preparing for CSSI and school by refreshing my programming skills and doing a lot of theory problems. During my freshman year, theory classes were the hardest for me so I'm working hard to improve in these classes. I used the summer free time to fix some of my older programs and to make new ones. Most of the programs that i made this summer were GUI's.
Besides working and studying, I've been hanging out with a lot of friends. As soon as I get back from CSSI, I'm heading to school in Pittsburgh. I will not be back home in SC until Winter Break so I've been spending a lot of time with family and friends.
2 more days until California!

Hello World.
This is my first time ever doing a blog. My name is Brett Harris and I attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. If you want to know more about me then check out my "about me" section.
This blog is focused on my trip to San Francisco to study for 2 weeks at Google. I will be leaving in 12 days from today. I'm excited because this will be my first time ever going to the West Coast.
Youtube is my favorite Google application. It was founded in February 2005 but not officially launched until December 2005. Google was not the original developer of Youtube but Google purchased it a year after the site's launching.
I researched Youtube and found out a lot of stuff that I didn't know.
-Youtube is not profitable.
-Youtube's bandwith usage costs are about $1,000,000 a day!
-Ten hours of video are uploaded every minute.
-Around 84 million videos and 4 million users
-Youtube is blocked in several countries.
The reason that I like youtube is because I listen to a lot of music on this site.Youtube is better for music than downloading/cds/ or online radios because Youtube has many upcoming music artists with covers of goods songs and their original music. Several people have been offered record deals and gained publicity for their videos on Youtube.
Eventually I will record some songs on my instruments and upload them to Youtube.
I also watch Youtube to laugh at people do crazy stuff. Everyone tries to dance in their videos but most of 'em cannot. haha
