It’s that time of the quarter where finals are just around the corner and keeping your sanity is quite difficult. Sleepless nights, skipped meals, cram sessions, and all around panic. Here at UCSB, we are already in the last week of school before finals start. And this hectic week before finals begins is known as the horrid “dead week” where panic and stress begins.

Luckily, my four years here have taught me a great deal where I can somewhat relax during these exam times. I learned that getting 8 hours of sleep is important, working hard throughout the quarter and getting top grades on exams and homeworks, and studying  early for finals gives you a great advantage.

As I walked around campus today, you can tell the atmosphere is changing. Starbucks is full of students studying, the library is packed, and the look of tired faces as people pass by. Overall, I am fairly content with finals. It is just another ordinary day for me. I do have a final this Wednesday for my Art History 109G (Leonardo da Vinci) class, but that is simply memorizing art works, and being able to analyze and compare them.

I will provide more updates and take more photos around campus of these insane times during finals.

Valentine’s Day - Because love isn’t quite complicated enough as it is.

I have designed a few “rough” sketches of some popular old game for the Zune. These games for the Zune are all concepts that I have created, but I am hoping some game support will be added to the Zune in future firmware versions such as Zune 2.4, Zune 2.5 or Zune 3.0.
The below concept is of course Pong. This concept I designed allows you to play the computer or challenge your friends wirelessly (aka through Social).

And below, we have the game Snake that can either be controlled with the swipe of your finger or manually click the directional pad. If you notice on the bottom left, I have “Challenge a friend…” which will allow you to challenge a friend of course through social. Two snakes will appear on the screen and the user who has the longest snake at a designated time, length, or until their friend dies wins.

Here, we have Tetris. Nothing really unique, but it would be nice to have the ability to play against one or more friends. Those who last the longest or have the highest score wins–similar as the above concept games for the Zune.
