Thinking back on my day, it is difficult for me to look past the blood, sweat, and tears that went into going to each
different area. After I forget about the exhaustion, I realized I learned an outrageous amount today. We had a lecture about the use of structures and shapes in art and science. We also went to the Fowler museum and viewed art by the Aborigine culture, we viewed 
very old books in the library, and we also went to the Basic Plasma Science Facility. Seeing the old books was really interesting and the Aborigine art was some of my favorite art. I really liked that there was so much tradition behind them and that they were so secretive.
When we went to the plasma center, I was amazed by how big everything was and how much energy everything needed, which is equivalent to the amount of energy powering Westwood. I was also really surprised when I learned that the entire thing was built by six men who work there. As unscientific as it may sound, looking into the LAPD was really pretty because of the plasma shooting past.
After being there for an hour, I realized that I had no idea what all the machinery was actually used to do. I learned that they were used for experiments which lead me to wonder what plasma is used in. After doing some 
research, I found that plasma is used in plasma displays, fluorescent lamps, rocket exhaust, and fusion energy research. I was not aware that plasma was used in such common items (like rocket exhaust).
