Today I'm giving a general update on things I've been doing for the past few weeks. I've been learning a lot about the programming language/analytics tool R which is enormously useful for creating models and processing data. It shares common features with many languages like C+ or Java and only requires learning a little new syntax. It's made a number of my projects easier.
This last weekend I learned all about the mathematics of sound design helping my theater set up for their annual fundraiser Broadway in the Hills. The gist of it is that setting up a temporary acoustic environment in a day is enormously challenging and requires a LOT of wiring.
In terms of colleges last week was the D-Day for a lot of schools and I am happy to announce that I was rejected by all of the other high end schools I applied to including Harvard, Caltech, MIT, and Harvey Mudd. While slightly saddening I can understand their decisions as my applications may have suffered after I was accepted into Stanford in December.
On top of my internship I am currently a part of 3 performances of the Fountain Hills Theater. I am running sound for the comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner, student stage managing The Little Princess: Sara Crewe, and performing at Papa Vito in our annual Murder Mystery event, Bellamorte! I do these with a mix of pleasure and pain as I know that there will not be many more chances for me to spend time at my home away from home for these past 4 years but I hope to go out with a bang!
