Another Week at UCSD

It's another week at COSMOS at UCSD and we are busy working on our discover project. Currently, I am sitting in Café Ventanas blogging away while sipping my drink. The food service staff here is very nice and hospitable, they go out of their way to ensure we have a nice dining experience. However, the food seems to stay the same everyday at Breakfast. Okay, so I don't normally eat breakfast at home, and that's always the same, but something about having eggs and bacon everyday seems to drag on. The lunch and dinner is varied though, so that's good to have variation.

Anyhow, today we have a Discover Lecture on stem cell research. Then we will work on our communication skills workbook. I changed my discover project to "Traffic Lights/Traffic Signaling" and hope to begin my research today.

My one suggestion to future trips to the beach and other short distance excursions is to board on a "confirmed bus schedule" instead of a "standby boarding" (i.e. everyone get in line for this bus, if you don't make it wait until the next bus). If a bus schedule is implemented, students would have the option of choosing which "Block" they want to attend (e.g. 12PM-4PM Block or 12:30PM-4:30PM). Using this system would seem more structured, and would allow for more relaxed transportation, as students would just meat 10 minutes or so before their scheduled bus departure. Doing it by this schedule would allow for a faster boarding process as well as better time utilization.
