COSMOS Day 3 - I just won a MacBook and a MIDI Keyboard!

As I promised from yesterday's post, I would keep the time spent writing down to a minimum.  Therefore, I am going to be giving a quick synopsis of my dad in the form of bullets.  All bullets are in chronological order.
  • Wake up
  • Use the shared restroom
  • Go back to room to listen to some music
  • Frantically find my headphones required for the day
  • Leave with the rest of my suite mates for breakfast at Pippin
  • Get a serving of eggs, hash browns, pancakes, and milk
  • Eat and watch the morning news
  • Go back to dorm to play around for a while
  • Leave to meet my cluster in the quad area - only to find out I was late because I was supposed to meet at 8:45
  • Get lost while my group was finding the classroom on campus
  • Arrive in the classroom with our instructor leading us in
  • Introduce the "lab" part of the course
  • Distribute MacBooks and MIDI keyboards to people.
  • Learn the basics of audio editing and recording in Logic Express
  • Time for playing around with Logic Express and our keyboards
  • Depart for lunch
  • Gather in quad to walk to classroom again
  • More time to mess around with Logic Express
  • Clean up our objects in the room and properly store such objects
  • Walk back to dorm
  • Meet in quad for "free time," the semi-optional group activity
  • Walk to field to prepare for water game 
  • Object of the game was to stand in a line withe the competing cluster members, get a styrofoam soup bowl with holes on the bottom filled with water, pass above the team members' heads, dump into the scoring bucket, run back up to the ice chest to receive more water, go to the front of the line, and repeat the process for 3 minutes
  • Watch the first 4 clusters compete
  • Compete in the next 4 clusters
  • Get soaked in water when time is up, when the team next to me threw water into my face
  • My cluster team acted against by throwing water into their faces
  • My cluster did not win, and stood back to watch
  • Winners from first division and second division played against each other
  • Champion declared, everyone dismissed for dinner
  • Return to dorm to change out of my soaked T-shirt
  • Depart for dinner

  • Talk to my night RA and one of my classmates about the math in music course
  • Depart to dorms 
  • Go to my classmate's room to see his work on Logic Express with our night RA
  • Depart to day room to play pool without a stick, and watch the ending of a movie
  • Depart to a strongly recommended group activity
  • Throw sticks at one of my classmate's shoe, with me being the "goal keeper" or judge if the stick hit the shoe and scored (not the strongly recommended activity)
  • Gather into a large circle to play "psychiatrist"
