 Jumping off the porch like mom's not home I feel so wrong Run with the feelings I assume explain it to dude If I'm correct that the last official like vlog that I posted was filmed nearly a week ago So if you're running Josh, why is there such a big time gap? I can explain So as you guys know I've been having a lot of tech issues specifically when it comes to laptops Let me just lay you down everything that's happened On July 13th my laptop was stolen from me in Paris As soon as I got back from Paris on July 22nd I ordered a new laptop with this same exact one that I had had Except I bought it refurbished because I didn't have the capital or the money to buy a brand new laptop After having like $6,000 worth of gear stolen So the expected delivery date was like July 28th It was like great, that works great It didn't get there on July 28th In fact it didn't get there until August 2nd Which I was a little bummed about because that was like a solid five or six days of making videos I didn't have any more but you know I just was I was fine with the situation So I finally get the laptop on August 2nd It's great until I realize that it isn't great Because the ports on the sides don't work The SD card slot is just completely not functional at all And if you look at the screen there's little white specs everywhere Because there's a bunch of dead pixels So here's what I decided So I decided that I was going to make the most of the five day time limit that I had before Where I had to return the laptop So during those five days Dang it's loud inside I made every single video that you have seen in the past I mean some of the footage I had from Paris I just had to edit But like all the college like freshman tips All like the more Paris specific like reflection videos Were all filmed during those five days And edited during those five days And uploaded during those five days and scheduled to go up And then I sent my laptop back and I ordered a new one So far the situation has been pretty rough But you know I'm optimistic I don't know why I was optimistic Because I ordered the I mean second laptop that I had ordered But really third laptop on August 11 The expected delivery was August 22nd Everything was going to work great Because August 22nd was the day after I got to Yale So I'd be able to get my laptop I'd have the four or five days before classes started To start looking at internships Building my resume together Because tech internship applications Are due this like entire month If I want to get started on those If I want a good job for the summer So I was a little stressed But it should work out Well it didn't obviously Because the laptop did not get here on August 22nd In fact it got here yesterday Even what the yesterday's date was It was Thursday September 6th Thursday September 6th That's over two weeks late So yes Finally in my possession I had a functional laptop I am ecstatic But what I'm not ecstatic about Is the two weeks of Internship applications Glass, P-Sets The stuff that I missed That I now have to catch up on So I'm not excited about that But we're ready We're going to get back to the grind So the whole reason there was such a gap In the time for the footage I guess I never explained that Was because I was filming with my camera But I didn't have a laptop or anything To upload the footage on And my memory card got filled up And that was it I tried to conserve the memory as much as I could But I got filled up And I just had to wait until I got the laptop So I could upload the footage So if you're wondering why that's a time jump I'm sorry I wish I could have filmed more during the past week But today is going to be kind of The first legit vlog With this new camera with my laptop So it should be great So anyways today's a Friday Which is pretty, pretty light for my course load I only have one class today But it's not really even a class It's just a section for one of my classes You see this semester I'm taking an intro to architecture Which is a lecture on Monday and Wednesday But on Friday you meet with some grad students In section to discuss your weekly drawing assignments Drawing assignments, Josh I didn't know you could draw I know I can't draw at all So this today is when We're getting our first drawing assignment evaluated I'm a little nervous So the assignment was to take a Place in the literature Like a description of their room in literature And try to translate that onto the page To be creative, try to make the most of the space And that was about it Weren't given much more guidance than that So it was definitely a little rough But here's what I came up with So I was doing a little research on Room descriptions, trying to brainstorm Some of my favorite books But it was a lot harder than I thought So I ended up trying to I Googled some online, did a little research I ended up finding a pretty good description From the book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Which I read when I was younger And it's a description of Dr. Jekyll's house So as you guys can see here I don't have the description printed out right now Let's start some characteristics And then did a little practice sketch Basically I just drew the room And then started adding stuff to see What I would want to do with the room And then once I got the full layout I moved over To the final draft Which is right over here Which took me about two hours to complete But here let me give you a little top-down view So this is it Looks pretty good Considering that I've never really drawn anything Like this before in my entire life And we're given no guidance for it at all I like it. I think I'm going to do a horrible job It definitely kind of suits The whole Dr. Jekyll vibe With all the test tubes and stuff But anyways I have to head to section soon To go present this To the TA's But before I do I actually need to print out A copy of the passage So Yale has a really easy printing system It's literally as easy as clicking on the document you want It gets in there Upload and complete And then now you can go swipe your ID At any printer on campus And your page will pop up And it prints out as easy as that One annoying thing about living across the street Is that I have to always walk over there If I want to do the dining hall If I want to use the printers or the computer The library room or anything which is kind of annoying But hey we have an elevator And when you're living in a bigger room It's worth it Architecture section was good It was honestly kind of scary because as soon as we walked in there We just all laid our drawings out On the floor and one by one Went through each of them talking about them Criticizing them So a little scary for the first time but it seemed to go well Lighting sucks here I'm on my way to Pearson to grab lunch with Tommy See how it is Alright so I'm editing And I realized that I gave this clip Absolutely no context at all Which is my bad So I was walking to lunch I was getting lunch and all of a sudden I saw one of my old sweet mates from last year And Neil he's on the track team Really cool dude and he was with a track recruit And of course He convinced me to pull out the cards And do some magic right in the middle of the street To show this track recruit Didn't have much on me at the time but That trick turned out pretty good so That's why I suddenly have cards out in the middle of the street And somebody's filming me in case you're wondering Let's get back to the video I don't want to see it because of the camera I'm going to take your card I'm going to cut it right here Right here I'm going to push it in just like that Quick shuffle It cuts to be safe and I'm going to ask you a question You remember what your card is right? Was it this card? It wasn't the 3 hearts Can you hold out your hand for me? We're going to take the 3 hearts and set it right there What was your card by the way? It was an ace of spades That's not okay I don't like that
