| − | Hi, I'm Gabriel! I'm one of the hall's MedLinks! You can usually find me in my room or in TV; come and talk to me! On an unrelated note, I have only a vague sense of what I want to do with my life. | + | Hi, I'm Gabriel! I no longer live on hall; I moved to pika after my freshman year. |

| − | == Dislikes ==
| + | My current online presence is now located at gkammer.scripts.mit.edu. |
| − | *The phrases "what's up?" and "how's it going?"
| + | |
| − | **Because really, aren't many things "up"? What do you want to know? All it accomplishes is the responder saying something vague like "nothing much".
| + | |
| − | **And what is "it", which is going? Where is it going?
| + | |
| − | *Those times in winter when it's more than cold enough for it to snow for like a week straight, but there's never precipitation, until that one day when the temperature exceeds the freezing point of water and it suddenly pours and things get soggy, and later icy.
| + | |
| − | *When you're in a comfortable position and you need to grab something but it's exactly 4 centimeters away from your outstretched fingertips.
| + | |
| − | *Bagged tea.
| + | |
| − | **Why?
| + | |
| − | ***Just why?
| + | |
| − | ****You're paying extra for the taste of paper in your tea.
| + | |
| − | *Boba
| + | |
| − | **It tastes good but for some reason I feel sick after having it.
| + | |
| − | ***Big sad.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Likes ==
| + | |
| − | *Cycling
| + | |
| − | **Over the summer of 2019, I will be riding a bicycle across Europe. Exact details unclear.
| + | |
| − | *The following Chipotle order:
| + | |
| − | **Sofritas, brown rice, black beans, spicy sauce, lettuce, sour cream, cheese.
| + | |
| − | *Bouldering
| + | |
| − | **I only starting rock climbing January 2019 but I'm already addicted
| + | |
| − | **Walker is a great place
| + | |
| − | *Puzzles
| + | |
| − | **Once upon a time I went to the IOL.
| + | |
| − | **After that, I thought I wanted to be course 24.
| + | |
| − | **I then took 24.900 and realized that I don't actually enjoy linguistics very much, I just like IOL puzzles that vaguely have some linguistics brewed into them.
| + | |
| − | *Board games
| + | |
| − | **My board game preferences tend to be slightly more heavy-euro-y than the average pizen.
| + | |
| − | **Favorite games include:
| + | |
| − | ***Amun-Re (it was the first game I learned to play at the age of ~6, much sentimental value)
| + | |
| − | ***Agricola (the kind of game that is so good to strategize about but so frustrating to play because you can't have it all)
| + | |
| − | ***Castles of Burgundy (I only played this a couple times in Brazil but I remember it being good)
| + | |
| − | ***Power Grid (the game where you have to juggle between getting points and getting an advantage in future rounds)
| + | |
| − | ***Mystic Vale (a spin on the traditional deck building game, where you literally build up the cards themselves)
| + | |
| − | ***Race for the Galaxy (it's quick and each round is super different from the next)
| + | |
| − | ***Istanbul (only played once but it was interesting how the board itself can change and make different playing strategies more/less viable each time)
| + | |
| − | ***Terraforming Mars (the new trend, and honestly it lives up to its reputation)
| + | |
| − | ***Stone Age (never played a hard copy, but it was pretty fun online)
| + | |
| − | ***Civilization the Board Game (extremely long, can get tiring, but I appreciate how logical the gameplay is)
| + | |
| − | **Sadly none of these board games are currently found on floorpi

| − | == Things That I Am Studying ==
| + | |
| − | === AP Credit & ASE ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <b>18.01: Single Variable Calculus</b>: AP Credit
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>18.02: Multivariable Calculus</b>: The ASE was surprisingly straightforward, stuck to simple applications of the material for all but 2-3 problems.
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>8.01: Mechanics</b>: AP Credit
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>8.02: Electricity & Magnetism</b>: It is apparently possible to pass the ASE without knowing what a Poynting vector is, even though it was tested in two out of not-that-many questions. I have done so. I have also learned what a Poynting vector is since then.
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>6.0001: Introduction to Computer Programming</b>: I learned python the day before the exam. The exam wasn't hard, just make sure your IDE actually has a built in help function.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Fall 2018 ===
| + | |
| − | <b>21G.101: Intro to Chinese</b>: A lot more work than one might expect, but the class was great. Attendance is also 100% mandatory and it runs 4 days a week, so if you're not a morning person don't take it early morning.
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>24.900: Intro to Linguistics</b>: It was fine I guess. I haven't taken other CI-H's to compare this one to, so I can't say whether it was worth taking or not.
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>18.404: Theory of Computation</b>: Great problem sets, Sipser is a great lecturer as far as I can tell, but I can't comment on quality of lectures past the first month because I stopped going. He wrote the textbook though the lectures are basically a slightly easier-to-understand but more time-consuming alternative to reading the textbook.
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>6.004: Computation Structures</b>: b l u e s p e c. They changed the curriculum the year I took it and there were lots of issues that hadn't been worked out yet, which made the class less enjoyable than it could have otherwise been.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === IAP 2019 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <b>Chinese Calligraphy</b>: Probably the most interesting/fun class I've taken. It was a great way to spend IAP doing something other than cramming for exams, writing papers, etc, but still getting HASS-A credit.
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Spring 2019 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <b>6.046: Algorithms</b>
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>6.009: Fundamentals of Programming</b>
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>11.158: Behavior and Policy: Connections in Transportation</b>
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>14.01: Intro Micro</b>
| + | |
| − | <br/>
| + | |
| − | <b>21G.102: Chinese II</b>

Hi, I'm Gabriel! I no longer live on hall; I moved to pika after my freshman year.
