Did a business presentation on TikTok today for my business communication class. I have a lot of assignments due this week that my time management is through the roof. I did this presentation in 24 hours. I did research for 2 days and then last night was when I compiled all of the information into a powerpoint presentation. 

Today was University Research Day where students from undergrad and grad and professors presented their research that they have been working on all year. For one of my business classes, we could get extra credit if we write about a presentation. Normally this is conducted in person in the Pryz where they can talk to people face to face about their research. I feel bad that the people who were expected to presented today had to adjust and make sure their work is possible virtually. I have never attended University Research Day until today and I am impressed with how interesting some of the topics are! Kudos to all the participants!

Program Board presents the first ever virtual Open Mic Night: Couchella! Program Board went on instagram live this evening for Couchella and invited our performers to sing a song or two for the CUA community that tuned in. It was so awesome to see community through this time and support each other from the comfort of our own homes. 

I am not a coffee drinker so my mornings are pretty boring when it comes to breakfast drinks. I have always loved smoothies but never took the time to make it myself. Now that we're in quarantine, I obviously have no excuse this time so I am forcing myself to make fruit smoothies for breakfast. I also should add that I am not much of a breakfast eater in general but I do like brunch. These past couple of weeks I've been making a lot of strawberry and banana smoothies with yogurt but we have recently run out which forces me to do other alternatives. My dad recently bought sunny d which I think is a real game-changer with my smoothies. This morning I made my mom and me strawberry, banana, blueberry and sunny d smoothies and it's probably the best smoothie I have ever made. 

Even though we're online for classes, that will not disrupt the class schedule including taking exams. Luckily our exams are open book and we have 48 hours to complete it. Today's exam took me 2 hours and 5 minutes to complete which included me going into the lecture slides to find the answer. I tried to take notes and study for a good 5 minutes but realized it wasn't worth it. I passed and now I await the next assignment.

Tonight, the senior members of Program Board hopped on a zoom call to catch up and help each other brainstorm paper plate awards. It was so nice to see each other and talk for almost 2 hours. It's nice to talk to a group of people who are on the same boat. We had many laughs and similar opinions about the current state of commencement. Missed them!
