COSMOS came and went by so fast!!!!='( It feels like only a couple days ago when I was soo excited for COSMOS to come.. and I was counting down the days before COSMOS.. and now it is all over already. Thanks everyone for the great time ~

Just wanted to leave my last post with one big THANK YOU to all the Cluster 1 students! The staff put in a lot of work to make COSMOS happen, but you the students made it fun! I wish you all the best and do not hesitate to contact me (especially if you need any help or advice with your college search).

Farewell, Friends
As I sit here the last night of COSMOS (trying to pack my bags), I still remember the very first day. As the car drives into Pangea Parking Structure, all of us are a bit nervous and excited: we have no idea what to expect. Slowly, we take out each bag one by one, and head over to the check in desk. They ask us our name, give us lanyards, and our keys. Again, nervously we walk up the stairs and into our dorm rooms...
As we meet our roommates, we start to adjust and develop a "brotherhood." From the first day with the circles game, to Knotts, and to the Zoo, our bonds grow and grow. And then we have reached the end of the ride, or Today. It has been one ride which we can never forget and is filled with memories of laughters, tears, jokes, frustration, and of course, fun.
This experience has been wonderful, and I would consider it one of the best summers of my life. That one February day was probably one of my luckiest, because I learned about COSMOS and it led me here: an unforgettable adventure. This memorable adventure will stay with me forever, and I hope that our legacy will go on. I want to wish everyone good luck in the future, and look forward to meeting each and every one of you wherever, whenever.
I would like to express my greatest appreciation and gratitude to the entire COSMOS faculty for making this program so successful. The RAs made our stay here enjoyable and help us take a break from a work filled routine. Thank you so much, and I am sure all of the students feel the same way.
My professors, Dr. Rajesh Gupta and Dr. Choon Kim, Teacher Fellow Ms. Shirley Miranda, and Assistants Mr. Arash Arfaee and Ms. Bridget Benson, were all a tremendous help and thank you for your efforts, time, and being wonderful friends/mentors. We could not have done it without you.
In addition, I would like to congratulate all the groups, presentors, and award recipients for their marvelous work. In the end, as Dr. Tu mentioned, I am looking forward to returning home to my family and friends, but I will miss everyone here, and hope to stay in touch.
As our paths diverge, and we go different ways, I am certain that the memories and experience will help us along the way, and give us a smile on our face every so often. Along with learning amazing topics in science, math, technology, and engineering, we also now have a taste of college life and improved social skills. Everything combined, this was one heck of a ride, and if I were to rate it, it would clearly be two thumbs up!
All in all, I would just like to say one last good bye to everyone:

friday. aug. 1st
As I sit here in class, i'm beginning to realize that I will probably not see these people again. I know for a fact that I will miss them greatly. They are such a unique group of people [my cluster 1]. They have shown me soooo much and have always helped me when I needed their help.
Wow, I don't really want to leave anymore. I got so used to my daily schedule that it will be weird going home and doing nothing now. I'm going to miss all my friends, all the staff/faculty, the computer lab and the fourth floor. I'm going to miss everything about COSMOS. I really don't want this to end, but I know it has to sooner or later.
I just want to thank everyone for such a wonderful experience!
And hopefully all my friends keep in touch with me. I will miss you all.
Facebook me! =)

Last Day
So today is pretty much the last day of COSMOS and it's very bittersweet. It's good that I'm coming home to my family and friends, but I'm sad that I have to leave the great group of people I met here. I learned a lot from living with them and I think I'll enjoy the college life when I finally get there. For now, I just hope senior year goes smoothly and that I'll keep in touch with my COSMOS friends. Until next time.
FINAL WEEK!!! =(
It hasn't hit me yet that COSMOS is gonna be OVER.
In like ONE day now...!
COSMOS has been really great, I absolutely love every single person in our peppa-mint suite and I will miss everyone so so much.. Our cluster 1 too.. it was fun with everyone. Well I'll write all my reflections and goodbyes in another post.. I'm working on my backboard and my photoshop is being RETARDED again!! >=| So as I'm waiting for it to calm down I decided to write a blog. =) It was kinda fun when everyone was required to write a blog, since we could see what other clusters are doing too and what they feel about things here. OH MAN IT"S AUGUST!!!! time has serioualy gone way too fast..
