Hey guys
An academic week has already/finally passed and I think I'm really beginning to get absorbed into all of the stuff we're doing. Everyone here- especially in my cluster- undoubtedly has a lot of potential to be the next nobel prize winner. no joke! The work is substantial I guess; it's just really difficult because of how little time we're given to do it. Time is precious here! But i'm looking forward to getting a chance to swim and get a few laps in today; it's really hard to get some exercise in!
That's excluding the four 15 minute walks we have to make from ERC to the bioengineering building.
Knotts tomorrow, beach the next day. It should be really fun if its not too crowded everywhere
Catch ya laterr.

WTH
hay, I'm writing so i don't get in trouble, nothing to report, other than the cosmos Olympics was RIGGED, we should have at leased ranked.... uh, that's about it, the bonfire was AWESOME, but mostly because i was with my friends. other than that it was unorganized and too short.
Thank goodness it's almost the weekend! I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow and on Sunday. I might go to the bookstore during Free Time today to get a UCSD sweatshirt. Going to the beach on Wednesday was definitely a fun experience. I've never felt such fine sand or lit a marshmallow on fire (literally) before. Last night's COSMOlympics was so intense. =P Dressing up and screaming were probably the best parts. I'm glad our cluster is bonding well. [: This morning we got to work with blood again so the labs are still part of the highlights of the day. I'm still getting used to the showers that randomly turn from hot to cold and vice versa, but I really like our Suite. I'm surprised (in a good way) that we get In-N-Out tonight and I'm looking forward to it! The walks to and from class are tiring but an excellent form of exercise, especially on the hills. Hope Knotts Berry Farm tomorrow is as good as I remember it was!
I love Fridays
Yay!! It's finally Friday..the end of the week.
I am looking forward to tonight and tomorrow.
Of course I'm excited to go to the pool and Knotts, but also sleeping in.
I've been waking up too early;;
I hope the Lab 5 essays does not take too long, because our study time is very limited.
So far, I am enjoying myself here at UCSD.
All of the people I've met so far are really cool. =]
Almost a week has passed, and I've pretty much adjusted.
The most difficult part is walking uphill to the classes, but at least I'll be in shape for season.
Hope everyone else is having fun too!
Knotts tomorrow!
Woot woot!!

First Week is donee
Hey all!
Like my cluster mates below me have said, we dominated the Cosmolympics and I'm being absolutely honest, we should have won, or at least placed. Everybody was incredible and the spirit was fun. I'm glad we have such enthusiastic kids in our cluster, I know my roommate said nobody in his cluster was really into chants and competing, which sounds boring. Our relay race was awesome, we finished a good 5 seconds before anybody else so kudos to all those in the race with me.
We got through the first week with no problems really. I'm really tired though and I'll admit it, I've zoned out a couple times when it's really dark. Everybody complains about the homework load but really, what else would we expect. I'm not too bothered, I know it could be worse. Plus I'm learning a lot of new stuff, it's not just review anymore. The post-lab questions are pretty tough and stretch out my mind, but I like the stretching. I should be working on my 4 PAGE SINGLE SPACED ESSAY now so I'm going to switch gears. See you all on the flip side..

Cosmos Poem
Mouse blood and pig blood and many pipettes,
Moving liquids from one container to the next,
Essays about diseases I've never heard of, I study
Instead of getting much needed rest.
My eyelids fall heavy, and my chin falls flat
Good thing Ms. Nicely is there to wake me up
With a small pat on my back.
People here are very interesting
Socially awkward perhaps, but so am I
So it all works out somehow; a great dynamic.
More people to meet means more things to learn,
Funny how that works.
But buildings are nice, and air conditioned
The chairs are comfortable and the food is good
I'm working hard and trying to listen
Twenty some more days of this, I'm down.

Good job everyday. It's almost the end of the week and we're closer to the prize? What prize you ask? The Prize.
Really liked that olympics, even though I lost the balloon toss for us. I'd like to give a shoutout to Evan and Josh for growing a pair of wheelbarrows and owning the race.
Also, thanks to Min and Christine for getting all those tough questions.
Nice job on the Paris Hilton question, Min.

At Least Twice a Week
They said post at least twice a week, so I am. I only ever find time to post while I'm in the lab, as computer access is limited without my own laptop. Labs two and three were more interesting than the first one, and this lab we're working on now is pretty interesting as well. I have to go now--bye!
'ELLO POPPET
this is my second blog, yesterday was tons of fun, we participated in the cosmos olympics. All ihave to say is that it was RIGGED!!! i mean like everyone knows cluster seven should havewon. We were pirates, we shoulda had first place, its kind of ridiculous how we dint even make it in the top 3. We had the best costumes(i was Jack Sparrow) and we won 2 of the events. By far i htought we had the best cheer so i dont know how they decided we werent worthy of top3. The way i see it, we shouldhavewon, but oh wellits just a cluster party.im signingout now bye.
North Side KR3W 4 LIFE!!!!
North Side KR3W 4 LIFE!!!!
Yay, it's Friday! I'm looking forward to getting to sleep in tomorrow instead of having to get up at 7:00. The bonfire on Wednesday was pretty fun though. My first s'more was good. The COSMOlympics yesterday were also so much fun. Min and I did better than I expected in the Knowledge Bowl, and Cluster 7 totally won the relay race! I have no idea why we didn't even get 3rd place though...
Anyway, no research paper or Scientific Communication homework from yesterday, so this weekend I only (hopefully) have lab questions and reading/prelab for Monday's labs. We're going to Knott's Berry Farm tomorrow, which should be pretty fun. So this will be a fun weekend, if all goes well.
Today's lab was cool. We were lysing red blood cells and collecting ghost membrane pellets, which required a lot of centrifugation. At least there are only 2 lab questions to answer for this one. Unfortunately we have an essay for homework for the afternoon lab.
At least I'm getting more used to the walking. And we took a quick tour of the Biomedical Library yesterday, which was nice. The food is fine, too.
Hopefully this will be a good weekend!
