Monday the 13th

On Monday I was really sick. I could hardly get out of bed for the whole weekend so I went to the doctors. Since I could not do the normal stuff that day, I’ll talk about the program so far.

I really had no idea what to expect coming into this. I just knew that it would involve science and maybe some art. I was fine with that and figured that it would at least be entertaining enough to last for two weeks.

After the first full day I still did not know what to expect. I had no idea what the project entailed or what we would be doing everyday since we didn’t get a schedule in advance. The only thing that I knew is that I really liked all the councilors and administrators.

As the program has gone on I have enjoyed it. The days go by quickly. I enjoy the lectures even if they are very long at times. We don’t have much free time but I think that it is still enough. My only complaint is that the course overall seems somewhat haphazardly put together. There are no segways from one idea to another; they simply jump. This isn’t really an issue, it just means that the course does not provide the “big picture” that I heard about before. There is science, and there is art. The two do interact but there is a clear line between them, in my mind at least.
