I started the day with a clear expression of "I need to go to bed earlier." Unlike our game character I dont wake up like this.
The previous day I had told the rest of JAVAK " I wont be late tomorrow" as they critically approximated how often I would be late. Although I was exhausted, I was ready to prove them wrong. I woke up at 7:45 am (Which I'll have you know is the earliest I've woken up since school ended) and left my house at 8:15 am. Giving myself a wowing hour and 45 minutes to get to the Autodesk office. I mean there was no way I wasn't going to be on time, right? Well you're wrong. Don't feel bad though, I was wrong too. Maybe tomorrow Ill be right.
2 hours later when I got to the Autodesk office I was ready to work. I was working on the GUI for the tutorials last night and ran into a bug. During the time in which I spent trying to solve this problem I questioned everything I knew about computer science. I could feel my high school AP computer science teacher nodding her head disapprovingly at my code. So with a fresh start, a good nights rest, and breakfast I was feeling pretty good. There was no way I couldn't solve it, right? You're right this time because fortunately for both of us I did solve the bug.
Upper right- This is me( Kiana) working hard to solve that bug. I swear I'm not asleep...

The rest of the team was also kicking ass today. Ashley was working on a crate in Maya and not just any crate. She made one very fancy looking crate. Right alongside her, Arun was working on player controls and now our player can walk in 8 directions, look in any direction and jump. Impressive eh?
This is Jenny and Violet just being overall awesome people. Look how happy they are!
Jenny was as usual blowing us away with her skills in Maya ( such a showoff :P). She made a pretty darn impressive ladder for our game. My partner, Violet was working on the tedious task of recording her computer screen for the CAD tutorials. By the end of that she had videos taking up about 6 GB of memory. Thank god for video compression software which helped bring that number down to the 20 MB ballpark range.

We also got to meet two workers at Autodesk, Liz and Sarah. They were supportive and excited about our game and even helped us on our elevator pitch.
