Day 1

My first day at RIT was certainly an interesting one. Arriving early in the morning i waited for my fellow interns to arrive at the meeting room. I was unfamiliar with most of the interns and went about befriending them. When the first intern arrived i quickly realised we knew each other from my days in Tioga High. After briefly catching up many other interns swiftly arrived and i introduced myself to them and asked their names and other small chat information. I don't believe i will remember their names very well, I've never been too good at that. After the introductory meeting with Mr. Pow we travelled to the Red Barn, and participated in a variety of team building exercises. Through these trials i got to better understand and cooperate with my newfound colleagues, as well as assess their skills. After travelling back to Building: 76, we were treated with a free pizza lunch, and i took the opportunity to better acquaint myself with my colleagues. Next i was sent to do my in-processing and reintroduced to my "employer" i'm not sure if that's correct terminology for interns. Mr. Kamran Binaee then began to explain his studies, and how we, being me and my partner Aditi Seshandri, could help to achieve results. The rest of the afternoon we focused on acquainting ourselves with Python coding and a 3D VR animation engine, the name of which escapes me at the moment. I promptly left at 4:30pm.

Day 28

Today was a solid day. The majority of the day was finalizing my Presentation for tomorrow. And the rest of the day was getting the reinforcement code to launch via command line, and editing the code in visual studio. The internship is ending soon and all loose ties are being tied up. I'm beginning to think about all the things i must do in the coming months to prepare for my application to RIT this coming fall. I've much to do and after the internship ends, i will have no time to hesitate in my preparations to ensure i am not only accepted, but am received with priority or at least regard.

Day 25

Today has been a very slow day. The majority of the day before Kamran arrived i had little to do as my structure draft had not been sent back to me with a review by either Kamran or Rakshit. In the time i had i attempted to locate and edit video evidence to support my statements in my presentation. I had luck finding the videos but editing them was another problem as i could not find any free editing software that could actually crop and cut a video. Unfortunately i had to call in a favour from Aditi as her Mac comes with built in editing software. She has edited some videos for me but i hope i can get Kamran to teach me a better method so that i don't need to bother Aditi's work. Kamran finally arrived and we went over my draft, with him giving me some advice on how to refine it. The rest of the day was allotted to my draft.

Day 26

Today has been a immensely productive day. I have been working on my Presentation and after getting it to a semi-presentable state i showed everyone at the weekly meeting to get as much critique as i can. I got a lot of positive critique and overall most of the senior staff were impressed with what i had currently shown and where i said i would take the presentation. I will continue to work on my presentation until every aspect is deemed perfect by my standards and the standards of those around me.
