Week 2 Narrative
"      For this week, my job was to find ways to get matlab out of class, at home, possibly free of cost, so that we could work on our project, mobile robot hallway navigation, at home too. I wanted to find a free method of access to matlab because it costs about $100 and that's way over our budget. Not only did I had to find a way to get matlab for free, but I also had to make sure that it was the right version, matlab r2013, because this version of matlab had compass sensor blocks which we needed for our project. So, I relied on torrent and searched for any available crack of matlab r2013b. Luckily, I found it very easily and immediately started downloading it. It was a huge file, 5.6 GB, and with a download speed of 649KB/s approx., it took more than 2 hours. After the completion of downloading, I tried installing the program, but it said the file was corrupted. I thought maybe something went wrong during downloading. so I re-downloaded the program. This time it was faster than previous, 1.3MB/s, but still no success. As I was searching for other torrent, my dad saw the word 'matlab', thought it read 'math', and asked me what I was doing. After explaining him, it turned out that he actually had met a part time Towson University math professor over the week. I told my dad to ask him whether the professor can provide me with access to matlab. The professor said he'll check what he can do, and now I'm waiting for a call."
