MATLAB, Indian, and Blackout

Tribe Update
Congratulations, Julia, on your successful train MATLAB programming project! The Snapchat video was awesome.

Julia didn't have any exams this past week, but does have "midterms" this week. It was so good to see her smiling face last night via Skype. Poor thing was trying to eat a late dinner while we chatted (pizza from the Pad). They went to an Indian restaurant and--not normally a fan--Julia enjoyed it. A bunch of them attended the Lane Avenue Residence Hall (LARH) West Campus Blackout on Friday. On Sunday, LARH  had a pumpkin treat party too. They have some fun activities and options (staying up-to-date via Twitter, of course). We talked about her upcoming trip home--YAY--and her holiday schedule over the Christmas break (busy). Julia and Stephanie are talking about renting a one-bedroom apartment together off High Street. They may go look at it this Friday. Steven gave her some good advice about questions to ask (what is included, how long is the rental agreement, etc.). It looks like the majority of her friends will not be staying in LARH next year, so it is a good idea to look off-campus.

In other news, Meme broke her wrist on Monday. She had a painful week and should be getting her hard cast on this afternoon. The Georgetown ice rink is officially open; however, they had only a small section for people to skate on--so we'll wait until it is fully functional. Friday night, we celebrated Kathryn's 10th birthday. We shared pics and videos via Snapchat--but definitely missed having Julia there.
