Yesterday we watched Anchorman during movie night. I didn't enjoy the movie; the jokes were unintelligent and blunt. I am glad I finally saw the movie, because I had been wanting to see it for some time due to recommendations from several friends, but the movie was a disappointment.
I read some of the blogs from Cluster 1 and I think that they are well-written and well-thought out. I, however, have more to praise than to criticize. I am very happy with cluster two. Starting out, I got a little lost in some of Professor DeCallafon's lectures, but now I understand the concepts of derivatives and I am able to follow most of the material covered in the lecture. Never having taken a physics class in the past, I am now finding physics and dynamics one of the most compelling areas of science that I have ever explored. I am intrigued by the marriage of mathematics and science, something I didn't see very often in last year's biology class. The labs were great because they applied all the science that we learned. I wish that we had more time to spend on them. Today we started building with the kinetic sculpture kits. They turned out to be easy to use, and it was fun to see the different parts work in harmony. As Flaviu mentioned in the meeting with Mr. Tu and Ms. Hames, COSMOS - Cluster 2 in particular - is the perfect balance of fun and learning. I'm loving it.
Until next time
