Remembering Memorial Day

Today I would like to thank all the people who have fought for this country and our freedom. I spent most of today writing an essay, thinking about my essay, and thinking about writing my essay. Reflecting on all the sacrifices people and families have gone through so I could be sitting here writing this essay, my essay writing problems didn't seem like a big deal at all.

Old Yauger

Returned to a park from my childhood on Mother's Day. What happened to all the rocks my brother and I played in?

Plan of Attack

Today I particiapted in a dodgeball tournament. It was a good time with good people. I also spent some time working on my essay. I have it all sketched out as you can perhaps tell from the picture. Now I just need to write it.

Here We Go

Today I finally started putting words on 'paper' for my essay. Yesterday, I sketched out a plan of action on my whiteboard. Now I just need to focus and continue to chip away at this essay.

Good Game Theorist

Today I learned a lesson in my game theory class. Being a good person and a good game theorist don't usually line up. We played a game where you and a random person in the class were competing for extra points on the midterm and didn't know what the other person was going to do. I chose action y which would benefit both of us equally. The other person, however, chose action z which was purely in their own self interest. It left me with zero points and them with 6. That is what can happen when you try to be a generous person in game theory, you get burned.

Rec Wreck

Today I went to the Rec Center for the first time in quite some time. It is finally starting to hit me that this year is almost over. This makes me sad.

Game Time

Today I got back my Economics quiz. I didn't do well on it. However, it doesn't really matter much grade wise. It does make me very afraid of the looming final though, very afraid.
