It Looks so Much Better Written "Redvines"

I woke up at 5:30 this morning for the ILC tutorial. Which I admit is at the very least a bit over the top, but I managed to show up later than I wanted at 7:53, somehow. The tutorial was set to begin at 8, but of course none of the technology wanted to work! A few people had to move away from computers that didn't work from the very start, more had to move from computers without functioning internet, and finally only two rows of computers had working USB ports so we had to move to upload pictures. Sadly, it wasn't only the computers the ILCers were using that were having problems. Don was having issues connecting to the projector and eventually had to switch to a different laptop. By the time we actually got down to business it was nearly 9 am.

We got into the lengthy packet that Don had printed out for all of us, going over everything from emails to dinners, eventually moving into blogs and pictures. That's when we got into the fun part. By looking over the blog formatting we should follow, and writing practice blogs, we tried to make it clear to Don we knew the formatting.

I made my little practice blog post about Redvines. Yes, I wrote Redvines as one word. It should be written Red Vines, but it looks better as one word. Redvines.

Moving on, Don taught us how to take better photos and his opinion on phone cameras(they're nothing compared to any camera), then set us loose on a break to take pictures outside. We roamed around and took pictures of each other fooling around and modeling. Cohorts were taking pictures together, but sadly Jahnvi couldn't be there today, so no cohort pictures for us. We found a nice wall to take pictures with some green in the background!

Heading back inside, we learned how to upload to MediaFire. Don told us about dorms (apparently the UChicago ones are great!) and what to bring. We finished at around 1 with learning how to use laptop security cables, and some cleaning up.
