We went glassblowing last friday as an explorer event. It was pretty cool to see how it works, but the studio got so hot. We all made ornaments, and got to choose which color we wanted to make. This week has been really good. Its a short week for the fourth of July! I get out early tomorrow to go pick my parents up from the airtport. I'm so excited to see them, I just hope the weather is good. It started raining today. Work has been busy though. Because its a short week, we have stayed late for the past 2 days. We have gotten deep into the coding, however, so i'm having lots of fun. I've been working on two features. One is just an internal feature that will encrypt passwords to store them, and the other is the actual text box on the gadget. It will control which kind of characters to accept and will count down how many characters are left. We have been staying up late every night and hanging out with friends since everyone is either going home for the weekend or having family up here. Monday night was lots of fun. We went to my favorite park in Bellevue thats right on the water. It was closed and pitch black so we walked down the trails to the waterfront using our cell phones for light. We spread out blankets and built a fire in the sand. We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores, it was so nice. It was a clear night so we got to see lots of stars, and even some satellites and a shooting star. We plan on going back again soon.
