COSMOS Day 4 - I am going to make my blog posts in the morning now

I think I find it easier to squeeze in some time to write about my day one day after such events occurred.  The simple reason is because at night, I want to work on some of my audio projects/assignments, and if possible, I need to find time to read The Scarlet Letter. In addition, writing in the morning as a reflection of the day before also helps me to keep my posts short because I would have forgotten some of the details of the day.  Therefore, I am going to summarize my third day now.

In general, we learned how to get on new instruments and how to record audio.  One feature the class explored was recording multiple takes in a certain area of the piece.

Later we listened to a piece that my teacher was trying to make as an example.  The lyrics were quite funny considering he didn't put much thought into the example.

After being dismissed, out class went to the bookstore.  One of my classmates went to buy a headphone.  I went in with him to have a look at what he is considering.  While passing by a netbook plugged into an external tv, I decided to do one of those hide desktop items/screenshot the desktop tricks.  That will leave people dazed and confused for hours...unless there are techies there who know what I did.

About the forum yesterday, we shared our experiences, complaints, received a few gifts and went back to our dorm.  My classmate was the first to go, and he said, "everything is just running smoothly here."  I agree, there are no stupid inconsistencies to worry about so far, and no trouble makers who cause trouble that isn't funny.  Complaints, the first, if I remember correctly was about Internet access in the dorms.  Ms. Tatiyana Webb, our program coordinator, basically said COSMOS never promised it, but are working hard to get it for us.  If we are continuing to complain and bug our RAs about it, she will say no.  I am really lucky for being in Cluster 6.  That's all I'll say about the issue with the Internet.  Gifts we received were a COSMOS notebook, and a COSMOS pen/highlighter.  Then we got up and sang a song/dance or whatever - "hands up, hands up, wrists together, wrists together.............."

After that, I watched a game of Mafia.  The narrator was quite funny.  The doctor was "selfish" in saving herself.  And the civilians won.

That's it for yesterday, my description of day will be tomorrow morning.
