COSMOS Weekend

Hey everyone, I'm really enjoyed all the activities we've gone through so far this weekend.

Started off my weekend Friday making wontons with Mike. Really a refreshing change with what we've done so far through the week. The wontons tasted pretty good, although the skin was dry during wrapping, and tasted a little dry as well.

I'm also really happy that we were able to attend a cube competition Saturday morning during free time. I applied for UCSD COSMOS before I even started cubing, so it was a great opportunity to compete in something conveniently located on the same campus I was staying at. I'm glad we had a sizable COSMOS party attending the competition. The room was full and I was able to see people that I've only heard of in name before, as well as get to know Harry better, another fellow cuber at COSMOS. I have a new PR now, 37.79 seconds, although my average was ruined by a DNF (did not finish) and nervousness.



Knott's Berry Farm was awesome too, especially since my family never goes to or enjoys these types of coasters, so this is my first time I've gone to a theme park with rides of these degrees. My favorite ride by far was GhostRider, the wooden coaster. Wooden coasters have another type of feel to them, they're more dynamic, they feel like they almost breath. The shaky nature of the track was exhilarating as well as the continuous dips and forces.

Hope everyone's having a great time at COSMOS, wishing everyone a great next 3 weeks!
