My day at summer app space today was hard because the questions I was one were difficult. I got stuck many times and I have not finished them yet because I do not understand them fully. My goal for my next day at Summer App Space is to start the week fresh so that I can get my work done and understand the questions more. I do know that next week will be much harder than this week so I will prepare myself by reading ahead in the textbook.

Today we got almost all the code down. The main problem we had was getting the memory error because we were running too many images at a time. Dr. Moran helped us by running a couple thousand images on her computer so we can get our stuff done. My goal is to make an impression for the judges and the audience during the presentation. I want to impress Dr. Litchl so that I can try to get an internship from him.
