Worked at Yale teaching HS students. It was RAD! Was at home for a bit and then did scav hunt. It was rad. Excited for science!

(hat break.)

Tim 1:
Is Tim. Apparently was here for scav hunt in disguise, probably mbritton; his conjoined twin who was never conjoined due to time travel and bad decisions. .

Tim 2:
Had summer. Started in Pittsburgh went to Yale. Worked with Adam whipping children. Was a rocking good time. Came back to Pittsburgh. Went almost half a week because he randomly ran into Eric in Maine.
WE HAVE AN EVENT! Potluck! In the park! Everyone is invited. Meet at 5:45 at black hairs in the UC. Then go to flagstaff hill. Be there at around 6. Freshmen don’t really need to bring food. We have a rain plan for Porter A18*.

Margaret:
Had a summer in CA it was super awesome with Mozilla and went home and then back and scav hunt. Which was awesome because many people wrote awesome limericks and haikus which you can SUBMIT TO PRAVDA.

Xander:
Had a summer! Involved giving daily beatings to small to medium children, winning a Hunger Games style physics course, helping to rescue the sweetest demon-child, getting involved with rather dangerous people, helping those who dislike me, learned more about pokemon than I could ever want to know, assisting the Department of Defense with their policies with regard to public health, leveled up my skill with two handed weapons quite a bit, learned to fly, and more recently, told one lie about my summer during my officer report.

Kelly:
Had a summer spent most of it at Google in NYC doing security. Had a break in Vegas for defcon, like KGB but more weaponized where she learned to pick locks. Did more work and now is here. Dues will be due soon (end of Sept.) $10 for semester, $15 for a year. Dues pay for events, booth, and to general administrative stuff. You can still come to stuff if you do not pay dues. It also gives you a discount for tshirts.

Marlena:
Had a summer! After a brief stop in Chicago to bid farewell to friends and loved ones, began a ten week venture to the untamed West. Not California, no… the destination was far more dangerous and unexplored. Of the few who enter this land even fewer return. This… is the land of mountainous rainforests, the Mecca of vegans and musicians, the place were few Computer Science majors dare to tread: Portland. Though her main assignment was to integrate herself into the local environment in order to write iOS code for a local startup, her secondary mission was the study and classification of the seemingly infinite varieties of hipsters that make their home in this utopian wilderness--music hipsters, coffee hipsters, well-dressed hipsters, microbrewery owners, independent bookstore workers, and basically every other breed shown in the popular tv show Portlandia. Through her job she learned iOS programming and design and in her free time she went to festivals, learned to blues dance, bought souvenirs from street fairs, ate vegan food, and biked everywhere. She went to the largest independent bookstore in the nation (a gargantuan four story storefront that takes up a city block), ate donuts in the shape of voodoo dolls, and took a short trip to Mountain View to report her findings to her colleagues down there (well… report findings, bother incessantly…) and generally had a pretty good time. But don't worry, she has returned unscathed. And is not a hipster. Also, found this really awesome band, but you've probably never heard of it.
