Launch Response

I honestly had no idea what to expect for Launch day that was just this past Friday. I was honestly very entertained by the wonderful seniors that presented their presentations that they had been working on for over a year. I honestly can not stress the fact enough that these seniors really did put a ton of their time and energy into giving us a day that taught us wonderful and interesting things.

He gave multiple examples (such as tweets from Trump) that clearly showed that there is a correlation between how social media portrays certain stocks and the stock's price. What was more interesting to me, however, is when he began to talk about how an anonymous person made an actual AI that auto trades based on tweets and market strategies. Being a novice programmer myself, I began to research a bit more into this idea. I don't want to reveal much, but I have successfully begun to trade a bit automatically without loosing TOO much money.

The writing project that I had the most trouble with was the literary analysis. I really did believe that the paper would have been the death of me. One of the main reasons for this is because I had a very strong feeling about the book that I couldn't necessarily put into writing (or say for that matter). This is because I ...
