hello hows it going?
Great, how are you?
doing swell have you watched Fairy Odd parents? its one of my favorite shows when I was growing up
Yes, I watched it as well. I like it.
if you had those fairies for you what would you do?
I grew up watching a lot of cartoons. I would order a lot of food. And make learning a lot faster.
would you use it for good or evil?
I would use it for good. Probably I could use some focusing powers hahaha
hahahaha
I find focusing so hard nowadays.
I agree
So I wanted to be able to focus more like I was able 10 years ago. Hahah
you got ADHD or something?
No, it's just technology and all the distractions in our days.
mmmmm couldn't agree more my GF is addicted to Instagram
I keep watching youtube videos.
hahahaa what do you watch on youtube? like what do you start with then get sucked in?
Seriously anything.
really what draws you in fight videos? 5 min crafts? Donald Trump? Memes? PewDiePie? Fortnite?
Like those list videos telling you 10 things you didn't know about something, or diy videos.
DIY vids are cool
There is a channel I think is DIY creators, the guy does a lot of things with wood. He makes tables, chairs and random stuff for his house
My GF would love that channel actually I should not tell her because she would be so distracted and spend too much time there
Don't tell her about it. She won't do anything else. And she will start buying wood to make headphone holders, and all of that.
yeah I won't Would you become a youtuber if you could?
I also watch a lot of jimmy fallon I don't know, I thought about that one a while ago. But I haven't decided anything. I wouldn't like to put my face out there. Maybe one day.
yeah people judge really hard online because you are hidden behind a screen I think it would be really cool to become a streamer
Exactly. And being a youtuber can be very demanding. So I don't know if I would have time for that.
Yeah if you are popular you have to put out like videos everyday
Some channels do once a week, but it takes time to write the screenplay, plan, record, edit and do all of that.
yeah or do vlogs or have your fans write content for you haha have you heard of Pewdiepie?
I haven't, what is that?
he is the most popular yotuber he has the most subs I don't know what kind of humor you have, but I enjoy his videos sometimes I started following him when he used to play scary video games and his reactions were so funny
So he plays video games in front of the camera?
he used to now he does meme reviews and talks about the world around us makes fun of main stream media etc give him a try if you want but explicit language warned
Okay, I will watch it sometime.
what else do you like to do for fun besides youtube?
I love reading. I am currently reading Artemis Fowl
OMG I love that book grew up with it]
my roommate gave it to me for Christmas
your first time reading it?
Yes
how do you like it so far?
I like it, it's the kind of fiction that I like to read. Is that your favorite book?
no to be honest I dont really enjoy reading books I recently read Ready Player ONe and it was fantastic SOOOOO GOOOD I recommend it if you are a nerd like me
I heard about that. I will totally read it. I don't usually read a lot of fiction.
this book is almost like non-fiction because it could happen in the near future
Cool I will read it.
Do you play video games?
I used to play some. I used to play some Nintendo games, I like need for speed and other quick games.
need for speed huh? thats cool did you play any mmo games?
I haven't
what about fornite? you must have heard about that
Ohh I think we had this conversation before. Is that the game that is similar to Minecraft?
oh yeah hahaha well you can break down stuff and build a fort to protect yourself from enemies and create different strategies sorry I brought up fortnite again
Hahaha
I think that game is so fun
I will have to try it. You seem to really like it. Do I have to install it?
yeah its free free to play all content is free
that's good. I like free things.
speaking of free things what about this prizes tho
Hahah
you looking to get something?
I want a new iPad.
ipads are nice you have one already?
not exactly haha
what does that mean haha?
That's why I want one
oh what do you like about ipads that your laptop cant do?
I was thinking about a better way to take notes in CS classes. Taking notes is CS classes can be hard sometimes because sometimes the professor has his notes online with code snippets, and  writing that by hand is hard and having diagrams, or something like that is hard to do on the computer. So having an iPad is a good way to mix the best of both worlds.
Ipads are great for that and youd watch youtube on a bigger screen hahaha
Hahaha I can't install youtube on it. Otherwise I can't do anything
i think you can oh haha i see what you are saying
Yeah, self control can be hard sometimes.
What do you think you can do to have better self control?
Maybe be more interested in things. Hahahaha If something is not interesting I just don't make the effort to pay attention on it. So if I was more engaged in things I would be able to focus more. Like I pay attention in movies and youtube videos, just because they are interesting.
what draws your interest then?
That is a good question. I think creativity, creating new things. I really like learning new things and doing new things, I like innovation.
innovation huh?
Yes.
what are you passsions then
I have to think about that. What are your passions?
hmmm rock climbing right now I think it changes from year to year Like you when something catches my interest I go all out until I get bored
Cool. One of my passions is learning languages.
really?
I like learning languages and learning about cultures.
you know any besides code?
Portuguese is my native language Spanish And basic French
oh cooool you from Brazil or Portugal?
I'm from Brazil
cool Im from South Korea
Cool So you speak Korean and English, any other languages?
yeah korean enlighs and Camboidan because I served my mission speaking Cambodian except Im losing it
That's cool
because I never use it
Yeah, some languages as not as common at BYU, so it's hard to practice.
yeah
Do you want to learn any others?
I'd love to get really really really really really good at C++ and Python I suck at coding tho
Practice, and practice It takes time I want to improve my French, I want to learn Italian, German, and Chinese
chinese and japanese would be cool you are a CS major right?
Yes
how far are you
I just took 236
yuck I had to take that 3 times
Yeah, that class can be hard. I'm still waiting for my final grade to see what happens.
I hope you got a good grade
Me too. I don't want to retake it. What classes were you taking?
I was taking Cyber Security, databases, eastern religion, UX design class etc
That's cool Is your major CS or IT?
IT UX emphasis
Cool. What vertent you want to pursue in the future?
I want to be a UX designer and design things so I can tell programmers what to code lolzzzz
hahah You should become a Program Manager
what do they do exactly?
Tell engineers what to code They are the bridge between the customer and engineers. Then they tell engineers what to do kind of.
ahhh what do you want to do with CS?
I want to work as a software engineer. Maybe a manager in the future, or a CEO I should also improve my coding
CEO
Yeah. Why not?
you want start your own business or move up in the ladder?
Think big. I don't know. For now I want to work in a stable company. I have an internship at Microsoft.
wow congrats
Thank you! I am watching Silicon Valley, and startups sound very daunting.
I know i'd love to work at a startup
It seems really hard to keep up, do all the things, the tech part, the funding part, the business plan, and all of that.
my friend tried to get me to watch that show but Im too busy.. yeah you gotta wear multiple hats
I'm watching it right now. As I chat here
hahaha good idea i should do that rn
you should
is it on netflix?
Nope. It's on the HBO website
is it free?
I think you have to pay for it.
oh... sad
I'm using my friend's log in, so I'm not sure.
ha I use crunchyrol from my brother
Hahaha I use Netflix from my job
lol they give you a netflix account?
Yeah, they have a general account that we can use
Thats cool benefits
Yeah, I do translations and they gave us the account so we could watch something on our native language before start translating. It's kind of a warm up
oh interesting never thought of "warm ups"
It makes total sense because when I'm speaking in english and someone says something in Portuguese, my brains shifts automatically. And the same is true for when I'm speaking in Portuguese and someone says something in English.
Yeah I agree I have to "turn on" my korean language abilities sometimes
Hahah right? And sometimes I'm not able to speak any language
I get tongue twisted I sometimes mix grammar
Me too The other day I was saying something in english and spanish, but conjugating in portuguese.
oh my I feel like when that happens to me my eyes role over and I shut down then reboot hahaha
Hahaha Same here
what mystical animal do you wish were real?
I don't know a lot of mystical animals
dragons, unicorns, fauns
If dragons were real that would be dangerous unicors would be too colorful Which one would you like to see in real life?
Dragons
Why ?
because I think they are mystical
But they are dangerous Unless you're a nice Viking and train one to be your friend.
hahaha Im Korean so I have this connection with dragons
I see
favorite soda?
Guarana What's yours?
Mtn Dew actually MTN DEW throwback flavor
I never tried it before
its made with real sugar it tastes more like Orange soda but MTN DEW its weird but really good
Interesting What's your favorite Korean food?
that is a terrible question ;) I love all Korean food haha I can't choose its like asking if you like mom and dad or something
Cool And I agree
do you like korean food?
I never tried it
really
Yes, I heard about a korean bbq place south of campus, but I've never tried.
oh Cupbop? as a korean I dont consider that korean bbq
Hahahah
I don't consider it korean food either haha
good to know
but its tastey tasty its also kinda pricy
Really?
yep cheapest you spend is like 8 bucks
Ouch that's painful.
what are you doing at your roomates?
Just chilling I'm kind of homeless for the next two weeks.
oh bummer why are you homless?
Yeah I'm going to Seattle for an internship that starts in 2 weeks, and my contract expired last saturday
Microsoft
Yes
what are you doing there exactly?
An internship as a software engineer
are you excited?
I'm super excited
what programming will youdo? what language?
I don't know yet. They don't give you a lot of detail before you get there.
yeah how was the interview process
It was better than I thought it would. I had a phone interview that was mostly behavioral. Then two weeks later I got an email saying that I was going to Seattle for the second round interviews Then I had 3 interviews there back to back
jeez were they coding questions?
It was really good yes they had technical questions But they are chill
so after those 3 interviewws you got the job?
so you can ask questions and you can ask them to clarify things. They tell you in 7 days. And I got it.
congrats
Thank you
They might work you like a dog
Not from what I heard of previous interns They said Microsoft makes it fun, and they pamper the interns as much as they want.
oh hahaha
I'm excited. What are you doing this summer?
just working and hopefully I land this internship as a Product Intern at Pluralsight
I heard good things about them My friend is going there as a software engineer
intern or a job?
I have no idea I think is a job
good for him Pluralsight is awesome and they are expanding like crazy
Yeah, I got a card with a code for a trial once. I really liked it Their office is close to Lucid right?
not sure
I think it's close to Lucid, close to the train station
yeah both their locations are ill be in south jordan
That's cool
best class you've taken at BYU?
Foundations of the Restoration from brother Sweat.
why?
He is really good. And he knows a lot about scriptures stuff He makes it fun and he is not scared of talking about the hard or polemic topics.
thats good I feel like you need to be good and not so stiff as a religion professor here
True. But there are some of those as well. I heard some religion classes are harder than OChem
yup never take DC classes
haha I'm not planning on it But I want to take Teachings of Isaiah
why is that?
I think Isaiah is an interesting book. It has a lot of teachings that are important and quoted by many other profets.
yes you are right isaiah is hard to understand though
But if you understand it you're set to understand everything else.
yeah thats what they say
So I'll take it. What is your favorite class?
I love my last class of UX team it was the first time doing it and we worked with real companies and did UX work for them
Cool. What class is that?
its special topics class its hosted by IT program but other majors can do it if that is the field they are going to
Cool I would like to take that one. If you could be anywhere right now where would it be?
