Day 140: Next week is the beginning of fall quarter classes at Highline, so this week is our opening week for faculty and staff. We started with a big welcome event, then followed that with a “Highline Bingo” activity that had us going around campus to visit various services and departments, learning a bit about them, and getting our bingo card marked to try to win prizes. I got a Highline lanyard!

Bonus photos: Mapping my veins with the nursing program’s new AccuVein, the spaghetti-and-marshmallow structure I built that successfully survived an simulated earthquake shake test, and my final bingo card.

My arm, held palm up, underneath a white and purple device that is projecting a green image on my arm that shows exactly where my veins are.

A vaugely pyramidal structure built of dry spaghetti and marshmallows, approximately 20 inches tall.

A paper titled Highline Bingo with a six by six grid of squares, each listing a different department to visit. Many of the boxes are marked with stickers, stamps, or pen marks. One horizontal and one vertical row are completed.
