UCSD COSMOS Cluster 5

Well here's my first blog.. I've never blogged before, so I'm not exactly sure what to write. I guess I'll just put my experiences of this first week of COSMOS. Sunday was initiation and everyone looked really old compared to me (I'm going to be a freshman next year). We met Professor Guest on Monday morning, and had a long, but interesting lecture which introduced us to photonics and light. In the afternoon, we got into groups and worked on labs with Dr. Nezhad and Mr. Illynkh. However, many of the experiments were confusing to me, having not yet taken trigonometry or physics. I spent much of the time scratching my head and wondering what the heck we were talking about. Nevertheless, I still had a good time. Our TA and my group members made things bearable and even fun. =O
I must have gotten food poisoning on Monday because I was feeling sick on Tuesday, and I felt dizzy for the whole day but I felt better after I *regurgitated*. On Tuesday morning, we had a discovery lecture by a computer programmer and then we had another lab in the afternoon. We learned our assignments for our final projects (Audio Optical Link-Analog). On Thursday and Friday, we didn't have much materials for the lab, so we weren't able to do much.
Today (Saturday) we're going to Knots berry farm, and I'm pretty excited about it, but my foot feels broken from soccer yesterday.
