It was a very valuable experience &#8212; not only did I get great feedback from fellow graduate students and the panel, but it was also a good forcing function for me to think clearly about how all my work so far fits together and how to construct a cohesive story and theme. Also, I think I picked the right conference for my work, which helped a lot (I loved all the talks!). I also had <a href=\"http:\/\/dl.acm.org\/citation.cfm?id=2764542&amp;CFID=468325077&amp;CFTOKEN=80847130\">a poster on designing creativity tools for failure<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>This summer, I also had the opportunity to participate in the <a href=\"http:\/\/curis.stanford.edu\">CURIS<\/a> program at Stanford! It&#8217;s basically a summer research internship experience for undergraduates, who apply to various ongoing research projects in the department and help out with them over the summer! I had two wonderful undergrads to help me out with my project on designing tools for failure, and had a lot of fun organizing board game nights for our research group \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n<li>My paper on crowdsourcing social media stories using narrative structure got into <a href=\"http:\/\/cscw.acm.org\/2016\/index.php\">CSCW<\/a>, after two rejections from CHI and ICWSM!

It was surprisingly busy, and I got a lot of commissions during the con and after, so that was great! I even met <a href=\"http:\/\/friskiestar.deviantart.com\/\">another artist<\/a>\u00a0who had read <a href=\"http:\/\/jojostory.net\/post\/124878956174\/aa-tips-a-guide-to-grids\">my blog post on designing Artist Alley displays with grid cubes<\/a> in preparation for this con!<\/li>\n<li>My <a href=\"http:\/\/jojostory.storenvy.com\">Storenvy store<\/a> opened!<\/li>\n<li>Got <a href=\"http:\/\/jojostory.deviantart.com\/art\/Agumon-Taichi-549848130\">lots<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/jojostory.deviantart.com\/art\/Yoh-Asakura-551102823\">drawing<\/a> done this quarter as well!

I&#8217;m trying to expand my social media presence, so I spun up accounts on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jojostoryart\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/jojostoryart\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jojostoryart\">Twitter<\/a> for my art.<\/li>\n<li>Redesigned my <a href=\"http:\/\/jojostory.net\/post\/127110517604\/i-made-some-really-narcissistic-business-cards-ha\">business cards<\/a>!<\/li>\n<li>I finished Chapter 3 of <a href=\"http:\/\/herogirlcomics.com\">Herogirl<\/a>, and started Chapter 4!

Scotland is amazing! There&#8217;s something relaxing about travelling alone.<\/li>\n<li>Books: I finished American Gods! It was interesting, and super weird. Not sure how I feel about the ending! I&#8217;m in the middle of The Righteous Mind right now.<\/li>\n<li>Anime: Kuroko no Basuke (FEELS), Ore Monogatari (cute and relaxing), Kinmoza 2 (cute as always!), Hibike Euphonium (WOW, I loved it. The last two episodes were fantastic!), Food Wars (my weekly dose of shounen), I Can&#8217;t Understand What My Husband is Saying 2 (more cuteness), Punchline (so promising but so bad), Oregairu (sarcastic and clever)<\/li>\n<li>Games: I got Fantasy Life\u00a0and\u00a0Story of Seasons for my birthday! Started Fantasy Life &#8212; it&#8217;s a nice relaxing sort of game, kinda like Animal Crossing with RPG elements. Currently chugging through FFXII (still). My boyfriend got me back into\u00a0FFXIV, so now I have a level 50 Bard, and I have bought Heavensward. \ud83d\ude1b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Academic I participated in the Graduate Symposium for Creativity and Cognition 2015!
