What Day is it Again?

Wow, the time seems to be going by so fast now - well, not fast at all, but comfortably. I am getting used to/memorizing the time schedule, which is good, but I really dislike the mandatory free time. Today I must finish the biography of a person, which is simple enough, and start the research report because I have other things to do tomorrow.

I am very excited for tomorrow's lab, though. Ms Nicely and Dr Vera are very good instructors on the information level as well as the actual instruction. Though difficult with the spanish accent, I can pick up on the basic things he says and fill in the rest. I also Love working with Amanda as a lab partner.

Though, as a last note, I believe we should be able to go in the water tomorrow at the bonfire...

First Day

Hey all,
Today was fun, a typical first day. Quite a few safety and policy lectures, but that's expected. Everybody in the cluster seems real smart, I think it's going to be a rewarding cluster and course, especially with the caliber of the kids in it. The instructors know what they're talking about too, that's obvious. Played a good game of soccer just now and it was intense. Looking forward to the upcoming week..Have a good one.

Cluster Seven Rules!

Today was okay, but from what I'm hearing, most of the students in here are really smart and took AP Biology already; so most of the stuff being discussed was a review. I don't like the question time because I have memory bordering on ADHD.

Our counselors asked the highs and lows of the day. Highs were that I got to use a micropipette to get water into a beaker. The low was I had to use that same pipette to put it back again.

Hope you all are having as much as I am. GTG. Am using a friends computer.

Sincerely,
Jason

Welcome to the Cluster 7 blog!

Hello students, parents, and guests, and welcome to the official blog for UCSD COSMOS Cluster 7: Bioengineering - The Amazing Red Blood Cell. The intent for this site is for the students to use it as an online journal to keep the world up to date with everything they are learning and doing here at COSMOS. Parents, check back often to see what your students are saying! Each student in the cluster will post to this specific blog; if you would like to check out the other clusters, we have links to them on the right side of the page.

Students, you aren't expected to post every single day, but we'd like you to try to post at least twice a week. The posts themselves don't have to be too long and detailed, but you should try to write at least a paragraph. You can also post pictures if you'd like to. Please keep in mind that these blogs will be monitored by staff and you are expected to uphold the COSMOS standards as outlined in your student handbook.

If you need any help posting, Blogger's help site is here or you can come ask Adam in the COSMOS Office.

Have fun!
