JPL - Our team has worked pretty well together so far. We collaborated on the initial design and were very confident about it, but the rule clarifications changed our design completely. So working together, we changed some things and added a leaf-blower at the end creating a design that conformed to the rules. Overall our teamwork has been effective, but I think we can be more productive. One way we could be more productive is to establish clear jobs so each person is working on something.

Life - Recently, I have mostly been focused on my college applications. I've been writing my UC PIQ's and am now just starting the common app essay. I am trying to early apply to a couple colleges which has a November deadline, so it's been a little stressful. I also just took the October SAT which I thought I did really good on. It was the last one I'm taking so it was nice to be done with it and remove one stress from my life right now. Other than college applications, I've been having a lot of fun with my friends recently hanging out and also playing spike-ball.
