Sunday-June 23, 2007

For the first time, here I am in Cambridge.

Old buildings, THE Harvard Square, tourists, students, tourists, students . . . and Hurlbut Hall, the dorm I will be staying for eight weeks. I got a single, but the right side of the building is all-single and I don’t think I will be lonely not having a roommate. Plus, Ashley’s room is right across from my room, Jonathan is upstairs, Steve and Rigo are in the adjacent dorm, and my proctor seems really nice and friendly.

It was a scorching hot day and I am so glad my mom was here to unpack and Ashley to help me register and walk, WALK from this building to that building to the other building, etc.

I’m not sure what course I’ll take. I signed up for Principles and Techniques of Molecular Biology, but there’s a time conflict with Harvard Summer Orchestra rehearsals. My mom wants me to improve on writing by taking the Essay course, but I think I want to take Mobile Robot and Embedded Programming. I should go talk to the SSP office soon.

There’s one more lab training I need to do for the internship. After that hopefully I’ll be working at the college of my dream, MIT. I’m a bit scared with all these new things, but I feel deep inside my mind the growing excitement for this summer.
