Projects Update

Today the first project with the memorization game was due. It was a crazy night since almost all of the groups stayed up really late. Nobody wanted to stop working because other groups would be able to spend more time to make better programs. We ended up having everybody come to the same room together to program and that way everybody could help each other because we wanted everyone to finish the project.
We were all expecting a single winning team but there ended up being a tie between my team and Jerrica/Johnathan team.

So today was a long day for everybody since most people didn't get any sleep at all. After class, we went on a boat cruise in San Francisco. It was a lot of fun cuz it was our first time in the city and we saw Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Over the past few days we've met some cool Google employees and employees from other companies. We met professors from colleges and progammers from EA Games, Pixar, and Google. We also met a woman who said that she was the 23rd employee of Google which now has about 20,000 employees. It was cool to hear her stories of how Google transformed from a small startup to the company it is now.

It's 1:30am and I'm going to go to sleep because we will be presenting our diversty projects tomorrow.
