i think today was a good day i really liked breakfast and lunch was even better, even though i go to bed at exactly 11, i have trouble waking up the next day!! :p
Today after breakfast we went to a discovery lecture in this amazing room, it looked like a mini movie theater it was cool. There we had a guest speaker named Jeanne Ferrante, she was an associate dean here at ucsd. She gave us a presentation about high performance computing, and the topic title was "Think Parallel", she explained us how we could do different tasks at the same time and also she told us about how there is arising this problem of multichord computers, and how it is causing a great controversy, in the computer science field. I thought this lecture was pretty interesting, because I had no idea about all that is happening with computers nowadays. After the lecture we went to a classroom with one of our teachers. There we did like a small presentation, depending on the topic we picked. My team picked the one about solar power. After our presentations we went to lunch, and then we went to the library. I was so impressed with the structure of the building, it was really cool. There we had to do some research on the internet about another project we are doing, my team's topic is electromagnetic radiation. We looked for it on the internet and gathered information. Overall I think it was a good day, and I am very happy that every day I'm learning something new and making new friends!! :)
