I have loved the first couple days at COSMOS. I had heard a lot about it from my friends who attended in previous years. We have had a lot of fun activities and games. The long hikes to class aren't too bad either. They help burn off all the calories from all the food. Also, the food is way better than I thought. I am used to eating. Cosmolympics was really fun. I still can't believe we won...GO CLUSTER 4! oh yeah...The RAs plan out exciting activities and I can't wait for the weekend. I got the essay done on time. Although it was only 2-3 pages, I didn't feel as if we had enough time during the day. One and a half hours each day was not enough, especially because I didn't bring my own laptop. I totally regret not bringing it, because getting a computer is harder than I expected. Plus, my parents just brought me a new one. The only reason I didn't bring it is because I thought security would be a problem. Next time, I'll bring it for sure. Learning about earthquakes has been exciting, most of the time at least. The physics problem on the second day of cosmos scared everyone. Today's math was really easy though. Plus, I learned some new concepts on excel that I can use for other projects too.
