Hi folks,

So a quick post, but action packed!
This past week was quite challenging, as a couple of projects were due that involved some nifty but complicated data structures (one of which was a quad tree – think binary tree with four kids per node). On Friday the 8^th Cardinals on Wheels had our Winter Party, during which we had folks eat food and make No-Sew blankets to a donate to an organization called Project Linus. Project Linus, for those of you who don’t know, is non-for-profit organization that donates blankets to children with serious illnesses or who have recently lost a parent. So we had a ton of people put together these blankets, and I was able to drop them off to the Project Linus folks this last Saturday.
Next weekend looks to be really exciting for COW as well, because we are going to travel to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. And though we originally budgeted for the cheapest (and therefore most distant) seats possible, they ended up upgrading us to the main floor, which means we skipped another level of distance in-between. So exciting.

And also, this Friday I received a letter from the Office of International Programs, and I was accepted into the China / Japan study abroad program. I am really happy I was accepted, and so more updates on that as they progress.

And for now, that’s all.
