Weekend 1: Wildcat Peak Hike

By
On Saturday, Alina and I went on a hike up to Wildcat Peak. It took about 2 hours full circle but the sight was worth it all. I definitely plan on going on more hikes around the area because of this experience.

Week 10 Review: 9/6 - 9/10

I spent all my time this week preparing for the end of the internship. I submitted a poster for admittance to the Association for Computing Machinery poster competition to be held at the Super Computing Conference in Dallas, Texas this year. Beyond that, I spent a lot of time organizing files and finishing mandatory assignments. On Monday I submitted a minute long video to a small competition for giving elevator pitches and got an honorable mention award on Thursday, which was a tie between 5th and 6th place out of 10. Not bad for one hour of recording at midnight. Thursday was the poster session for all the interns and it went fairly well. The expense of organizing the event probably wasn't worth the amount of visitors that came to participate, though. I will say that I was one of the few interns that presented their poster to Michael Stewart Witherell, the director of the lab! Now that was cool! The research poster presented at the final poster session There was a lot plan...

Week 9 Review: 7/30 - 8/3

By
At the start of this week I tried to clean and analyze more recent Tstat logs from January and July of this year. To my surprise, these files were formatted differently from my previous files which meant I had to clean and compile them differently as well. This posed many unexpected problems that took much longer to solve than I first imagined. Also planned for the week was to add a way to identify the "normal" cluster to the algorithm and perform quantitative analysis on the similarities of the calculated sequences with the log(throughput). All at the same time, this content needed to be put into my poster for the intern poster session by noon on Friday. After cleaning, I tried to add the cluster identification step to the algorithm. I was running behind, so without finishing it I moved on to calculating quantitative similarity metrics. I didn't want to consider the similarity of the sequences when throughput is high (because our values turn out to be low) so I took the ...

Weekend 6: Pier 39

Our trip to Pier 39 on our 6th weekend was very fun. We started by getting lunch in Chinatown again. While in Chinatown, we passed a Chinese barberpole, so I just had to take a picture. For those who are unaware, I am involved in the YSU's barbershop chorus, One Achord. My infatuation with barbershop music has lead me to relish the peculiar nuances of the art form, such as barber pole appreciation. Click here for a quick video of the barbershop quartet "The Newfangled Four" singing in front of the worlds tallest barberpole as reference. We first went into the Aquarium of the Bay. It wasn't that big but there was a pretty wide variety. I admit I don't very well remember what kinds of animals I've seen at the Toledo Zoo/ Aquarium, but I think this was the first time I've seen sea otters. There was some other intriguing aquatic life like stingrays, jellyfish, and octopuses. On the lower part the pier, mostly everything was gif...
