The Blog
Expectation Affects Observation
10/14/17
Today was my second day as an apprentice at Shodor. We started off with a presentation by Ron about office ethics. I learned how we should dress and behave in the office. Ron provided great examples about how to, and how not to, behave in the office. Then, Dr. Panoff talked to us about how our expectations affect what we observe, and made us ask ourselves the question "How do I know?". This showed us that the world isn't always as what it seems.
He gave us some problems for us to solve, and I am proud that I was able to solve the problems. After that, Ernie and Aaron got to talk to us, and we wrote blogs and reflections. I hope to learn more about HTML and CSS so that I can make this blog look a lot better. Aaron was very helpful when he answered some of the questions I had about making up work that I missed, and helped me set up my mailbox. Near the end of the day, I helped Seokyoung when he was having some trouble using Cyberduck with Atom.io. It was a great second day, and we got some new interesting assignments to work on.
First Day!

October 7th was my first day at Shodor! We started off with logging in to our accounts, and reading the Apprenticeship Handbook. I learned a lot about conduct in the work environment. Learning some of the "Shodorisms" was fun and interesting. Some of the ideas, such as "Other Duties as Assigned" make a lot of sense.
After that, I had to leave Shodor early to go to a marching band competition. However, both Aaron and Joel were very helpful, and helped me make up the work that I missed. Right now, I am most proud of figuring out how to upload my blog page to Shodor using Cyberduck. It is cool that anyone can access this webpage now! I am hoping to learn more about making this webpage look awesome! I also helped some of my friends with logging into their accounts, such as my friend Albert. It was a good first day!
