 Hey everyone, I'm excited to be back for my second video this year, and hopefully we can keep this street going. Obviously, I wasn't filming a lot this past year. I feel like everyone was kind of having their own personal journey through 2020 and what a year it was. Obviously, like I always do, I've been getting pretty nostalgic the past couple days. Sitting at home and scrolling through my camera roll and kind of realizing how many great and positive moments there were in 2020, despite the struggles. So even though I couldn't fill you guys in on YouTube the past year, I think I only posted like three or four videos. Kind of sad. I thought I would fill you guys in, catch you up, and give you a peek into my life for the past year, which was my junior spring and my senior fall semester at Yale. Kind of give you a rundown of all the highlights in my camera roll. So with that, let's get into it. So I started off 2020 with the bang with my annual trip with Magicians Without Borders to travel and perform magic in Cape Town, South Africa. We were in the city for about 11 days. We did way too many shows, but they were so much fun. And we really got to take in the sights and smells of the city and get some pretty cool drone shots along the way. Soon enough, I was back at school for my junior spring semester. Unfortunately, we did come back to a fruit fly infestation, which wasn't the greatest thing in the world. But luckily, I really kind of went in all on cooking and got to cook some great meals with friends. Soon enough though, the CS grind hit me again, like a brick, and I spent way too much time coding and debugging during those first couple weeks. Later in February, I got to put together my second full show as president of the Yale Magic Society. It was titled, Welcome to Magic College. It was an absolute blast to put together and hopefully I'll be sharing some clips from that with you guys soon. For those of you that don't know, my birthday is February 23rd, and that was actually my 21st birthday. So I got to have my first beer with my parents. They came up and visited and they got to see my magic show that weekend as well. And obviously, it wouldn't be a normal set Yale semester without a couple trips to Moorys. Had some Moorys cups. It was a great time, especially now that I was 21. As we started approaching the weeks before spring break, I would got to go to a couple winter formals and had, would I say, way too much fun. And then like most of you, I got home for spring break and all the news about COVID began to hit. Obviously, I don't want to focus on that in this video, but after my two week spring break, I decided that it was best that I should finish off my junior spring semester back in New Haven at my off-campus house. Obviously, there were a lot of struggles with virtual classes and especially virtual ROTC. But I got to work on a lot of cool projects. I was able to put a Wi-Fi hotspot on a drone, which is something I'd like to talk about in a future video. And got to support a lot of local New Haven restaurants and eat way too much for my own good. And hey, we even tried to cook a little as well. Keyword tried. I finished off the semester with my own little personal spring fling with my housemates, although it didn't compare to anything like the real one. With my finals and my projects finished, my junior spring at Yale was done and I traveled back home to spend some time with my family and my annoying animal of a dog and even got to play baseball with some of my siblings. Soon enough, my summer internship started. I worked as a software development engineer at Amazon Web Services and I decided it would be best to travel back to New Haven and work in my empty house that I was paying rent for. Nothing too interesting happened while I was working. I got to sneak away to Michigan for a little bit to go skiing on the lake and caught some awesome shots of my siblings' water skiing. But unfortunately, that was the death of my drone as well. Thank God for protection plans. With my summer internship finished, I felt like I was a lot better programmer. But soon enough, it was time to start my senior fall again. Everyone was arriving back at campus and we're starting classes online. The semester was pretty boring, but there were a few moments I wanted to highlight. We got our entire house together for a Borat watch party for when the new Borat 2 movie came out and we had t-shirts and everything. It was awesome. With fall and Halloween approaching, I had to make a visit to a pumpkin patch and carves and pumpkins as well. And I, hey, I even dressed up as Forest Gump for Halloween. And here's some photos and some video from me applying me in an unnamed group that was definitely not on Yale's campus and getting some sick nighttime drone shots of the Polly Murray Tower. And finally, I finished off the semester filming the Yale Tap Dancing Group's semester-long video project that they were working on and that was an incredible experience as well. With the semester almost done, I traveled home for the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas and was able to see my family and finish up my final exams here at home, which was interesting to say the least. It was definitely a weird holiday season, not having any extended family visit and all the different Zoom calls we had to have on Christmas morning. But it was just good to see people and good to be with some family for the first time in a while. I hadn't seen them since June. Obviously, this video can't make up for my lack of posting last year, but I hope I was able to kind of catch you guys up on what was going on with me, school, summer internships. If you have any questions about any of that, I'd love to kind of share more about some of the projects I was working on and my online school and internship experiences. If you'd like to hear about that or anything similar, drop a comment down below or if you just want to say hi. Make sure to like the video.
