Day 69: HackingEDU

Yesterday as soon as the morning lecture was finished everyone was getting ready for the weekend hackathon. The event was HackingEDU, a hackathon focused on changing the US's education system. We grabbed lunch, I went home to pick up some clothes for the weekend, drove back to pick up some participants and we drove out to San Mateo. Traffic was thick and we got there before 6PM. Some of us, including me, signed up a little late as participants so we had to go in as volunteers. We were given volunteer shirts and assigned to walk around the event and assist anybody who needed help. VT said that the good part of volunteering is that we can participate the following day. 

Our shift lasted four hours and I spent most of that time talking to participants and company representatives. It was fun but after about three hours I began to get tired from all the walking. By the time we finished and were ready to head back to the dojo to sleep I told the others that I think I'm going to skip out on the events today. I slept at the dojo and today I drove the guys over to the event before going home. I figured driving them there was the least I could do. I got back home and am taking the weekend off. I am really exhausted and I can't believe I'm saying this but I am looking forward for the bootcamp to finish. 

This weekend I need to contact my German friend and get the specifications for his website so I can begin my final project. And sleep, man do I need more sleep.
