Honey Poi (the Mediterranean-inspired event).
Chapters
Head right in and take a dc. Thank you. This was Honey Poi's first event of the year. It was Mediterranean inspired and it was really cool being on the other side of the table and instead of serving people, I was being served. I have to say this was an amazing event. The music was great, the food was phenomenal and the vibes. I'm just really excited to see how this community grows as we continue building on the Honey Poi community. Oh my God. Crossover. I was watching your vlogs the other day. I watched like, is this a new vlog? Are you making one now? I think I usually like, I always vlog but never actually edited. So hopefully this makes it wait. I hope I see this on YouTube. I hope I see. Yeah, I hope I'm watching this right now. Leslie, we just finished our main and we're waiting for desserts right now. This is Harvin, Police dealer. Got the wine. I don't know how PP sensor. It's like got a unique taste to it. So it's not something that like typical wine enthusiasts drink. This is a talented Floyd and Dr. H behind all of it. What are your thoughts? I'm really happy there's another session in my like 10 minutes, but I'm not nervous. You guys have EBA. EBA. So now, bro, we just spent like how long? Like five minutes ordering. Cuz he was like, no, they can't eat this. They're not used to it. I wanted Eva and he was like, no, you can't going to use your hand to eat it. Can we have four? No, I just don't like. I don't like using my hand. You have to like it. If I'm not feeling you not let them feel the real adventure of the food together. Put it together. You're not putting. You put. You use it to drag the soup. Holding the food. You're holding it like an African. Wow. This is an African lady. That's an African lady here. That's an African woman right here. Okay, now for the debrief. So he said that he really loves Korean people's faces just because their eyes go like this. That was actually crazy. So what do we think? Are we going back? Wait, we have to go back. Wait, hold on, bro. He literally said no. It's currently 6:35am I usually don't wake up this early, but today we were forced to watch the sunset together. This is the very first thing I had to do for initiation. It's crazy to think that these strangers sitting around me would soon become some of my closest friends and maybe even a future co founder. What do you rate? The sunrise sun has not risen. I'm going back to anybody. Hello. We fast forward to Thursday night and we're just having a little chocolate covered strawberry night. And brownies. Yeah. A little bit of non sadness at sea of this was during a time where I didn't have that many girlfriends here yet. So it was nice to have a Galentine's day, even if it was small and simple. How cute is the strawberry? And a little pizzazz. That is really ugly. Sorry. Cheers. There's Notion at cmu. Today is a beautiful day for a Notion pop up. So we're both notion ambassadors here at cmu. We're doing a little Halloween pop up. It's kind of weird because. Oh, he almost stepped on my camera. Anyways, I feel like everyone on this campus already uses Notion. Don't you think so? But that's a good sign. Yeah. Also, we have someone who wants to come to the campus. Okay, wait, you can come. You can come. Why do you use Notion? We've been out here for two hours. We got 61 signups in total. Although not all of them came from the table because a lot of people lied to us. But it's still pretty successful. Like people would approach our table and. Yeah, like almost all our stickers are gone. We came up a pretty big stack of stickers, but that's what people came for. Like people were queens. Use Notion. Yes. Are you guys hiring? No, I just got back. I don't normally do this, but I just found out only yesterday. I have such an amazing balcony and the weather is like absolutely amazing. Outside. It's cold, but sunny. Perfect. So I'm gonna do a little workout outdoor. I just wanna make your heart sing. You're not letting me. Well, I got a sweat in. Only one person walks by and judged me. That's. I would say that's a win for me. This is the one I'm currently working on for behavioral decision making for this other class. I just downloaded the midterm review slides and kind of went over all the previous slides and filled in the information that I need to know. I know my three screen setup's a little bit intimidating, but trust me, it helps. It really helps. Here I have like my slides and I have my class notes and then I'm doing everything here. Why can't you just tell me?
