So... I realize it's been a long time since I've written, and I apologize for that. It certainly hasn't been for lack of topics to write about. Rather, it's been lack of time to do it!
Right now I'm working with Baylor's i5 program. Before the program, I wasn't really sure whether it's more like an internship or a study abroad. Turns out that it's both. We have class from 8 to 12 and then do internship-related activities from 1 until pretty late at night (9 to 11 depending on circumstances), taking a break for dinner. Obviously, this is quite intensive and leaves little room for free time (although we do get weekends off). So hopefully you can understand my long silence.
The project I'm working on is pretty interesting. I can't say too much but it involves very advanced video surveillance software. Got to visit an office yesterday and it was a very interesting experience.
That said, despite the busyness, I still love being here. For one thing, I'm surrounded by really great peers and mentors. I really enjoy the company of all the other students (both graduate and undergraduate) on this trip, and I also really like the professors who have come along. Also, Hong Kong is a really amazing city. I believe in an earlier post I talked about some of the things I had seen in my last visit to the city, and I've seen many of those things again, plus a few entirely new things. For example, I saw the Dragon Boat races last weekend, and they were quite fun to watch. Hopefully I will soon get around to putting up photos... but at this point I don't know when I can make time to do it!
We'll be in Hong Kong until Sunday, at which point we will transfer to Ningbo. Should be an interesting experience!
