On Friday, when I was drinking one of the free bottles of water in the LSRC, I suddenly had a sore throat. I was sick for most of the weekend. I'm not sure what happened because Gaetjens told me that he had a sore throat after drinking a bottle of water on Friday too. Really weird. I'm mostly feeling better now - but I'm sure my coworkers will get tired of my coughing pretty soon. Today i went through and thoroughly commented all of my example worlds and tutorial worlds. I uploaded a lot of the worlds that I've made to my personal website's homepage. I finished making a world about how to ask questions (using a textbox for multiple choice or free response) . I also made another world to serve as an example for how to ask questions and have the user click on the choices. Tomorrow, I'll work on writing descriptions for all of these examples. We met with Professor Rodger today. Tomorrow I'll comment on the participants page.

Today, I finished making my webpage tutorials into powerpoints. When I changed them over to pdf formats, I put two slides on each page for the handout version. Then, I went to get all of the participants demoworlds from Prof Rodger. I watched a lot of them (not finished with Day 9 and Day 10 yet). I've written a short sentence about each. Tomorrow, our Alice project is presenting to the other CS students. We decided to have Gaetjens introduce everything. And then each one of us will show a demo world.

It's taken much longer to go through the teachers worlds than I thought it would because my computer has been really slow. But I'm really glad I get to see everyone's world. They all did a great job!

Demonstrating our project to everyone at lunch was nice. Everything worked well except for Henry's xml thing. But I think he didn't really have much time for it anyway. Probably should have planned better if he really wanted to show it anyway.

I've uploaded alot of my work in progress to my homepage. I've created a lot of worlds. Now, these are all of the descriptions and tutorials that I'm working on:

Today, I completed the participantWorlds descriptions. I worked on the things I listed in the journal entry above. We met with Professor Rodger in preparation for next week. I helped update the repository a little bit. I've started a new project about animating a book. I think I'll probably work on Saturday a little bit in order to catch up with my hours and finish a few things before the student camp starts.
