A lot outside of school has happened in the past week or so! Here is a little bit of documentation:
The solar eclipse happened! Please enjoy my not-so-great picture of it through a telescope on the 5th floor of COAS. Even though we weren’t in the path of totality, it was an amazing experience. Maybe it was simply because we are at a school where nearly everyone is invested in events like this, but the whole world around me seemed to stop. I was at work in the Office of Undergraduate Research when everyone started to make their way outside and use the eclipse glasses that were being handed out.As Graduate Assistant for the Office of Undergraduate Research, I helped with Discovery Day! This was a huge (over 800 attendees) research symposium day where students from the entire school could present their findings through poster sessions while winning awards and grants! I also personally received my Research Scholar award that day at the awards ceremony.Had some great food in Orlando with my boyfriend lately! The first two pictures are from a Korean bakery called Chiffon Culture near Winter Park. Their hot dog bun, garlic cream cheese bread, and chocolate whipped cream cube croissant were amazing! The last picture is from Sushi Katana near Mall at Millenia. The sushi was great quality, and their lunch specials are a good price.I recently had the chance to attend UCF’s version of SharkTank, Joust, where my boyfriend’s (far right in picture) startup, CyberColosseum LLC, won first place! The money and services provided will really help them as they work on this growing business.We attended ERAU’s Casino Night! This was really fun. Big thanks to Touch-N-Go for organizing the free pizza, blackjack tables, raffles, and more!There is a hidden gem in Winter Park! The Morse Museum there is absolutely GORGEOUS with rooms upon rooms of Tiffany glass exhibits. I HIGHLY recommend this especially since admission for students is only $1!Went pottery painting at All Fired Up near Winter Park! It was a great experience and seemed super popular! We painted a little cardinal and a lemon squeezer bowl. Can’t wait to pick up the final pieces soon!
