2010-07-23 Day 5

Today, we did a interview for a local problem at Chinese University, we almost didn't make it to eight people but at last we are successful. After lunch, we are making this very website, today's the last day to do it. Really, I think we wouldn't have much time to do it since my lazy teammates do not want to do the website in English. Well, I think the website would be a fail. One point to point out, we don't have any cooperation at all. We'll have a speech lesson after dinner for the big tournament tomorrow. If we don't have a good website, we would not win. We may not even pass the group stage since we couldn't beat the only opponent we have. I have to win because my mom's watching. After the lesson, we'll go back to the dorm and have another pillow fight again.

                                                        

2010-07-22 Day 4

Today ,after breakfast, we had a fun science experiment, catapults! We have to make a working catapult with a spoon, some chopsticks, rubber bands, and tape. Although at the warmups we failed so badly, after some great changes in our catapult, we became first in the finals. After lunch, we had a lesson and setted off to Marine Science Laboratory, I saw cells of seaweeds and microscopic creatures with a microscope. We learned a lot of things about marine creatures. Then, we went back to camp for dinner. We can't eat dinner because some group is stuck at somewhere and cannot return to camp due to the black storm alert. It's raining cats and dogs outside, and we have to skip a lesson in order to go back to the dorm as soon as possible. We had a pillow fight after we went back to the dorm, I like to sneak attack people when they're fighting ferociously. At one point, I was dying becase the other people is hitting me only. I escaped only when I went back to my room, and I slept.                                                                             

                                                                                                               

2010-07-21 Day 3

Today, after I ate breakfast, we listened to two professors speeches, they talked about how satellites are useful to us and a summary of optical fiber and what they would do for us in the future. Did I tell you that my favorite kind of food is the fried ones, so I usually clear the fried foods. After lunch, we went to Cyperport, there, I learned many things about I.T., and learned to reduce e-waste. It was really cool and I had a great time. After dinner, we had "campfire night", there's no campfire though, we listened to Youtube and danced with it, it was really fun. Back to the dorm, the hallway suddenly becomes really stinky... because the toilet in room 303 is stuck with poo. Oh! the stench can kill someone. After that, we went straight to bed because there's no point staying and smelling the stench.

                                                  

2010-07-20 Day 2

I setted my alarm for 7:00a.m., but I woke up at 7:15a.m., how ironic. I changed my clothes, brushed my teeth, packed my bag, and I'm off to the Chinese University. After breakfast, we learned how to make our own website, in fact, this very blog is part of the website. After lunch, we made a complex speaking and hearing thingy with wires and a breadboard, it was very interesting. I then types this very blog and make it a part of my website. At 6:00p.m., we will have dinner, in which I will buy drinks for everybody. Then, we will go look into the stars with telescopes. We'll then return to our dorm and ready for a day's rest.

                                                          

2010-07-19 Day 1

Today is my first day at the I.T summer camp, I'm scared and excited.  After I met some friends at lunch, I'm more excited in what I'll do throughout the week than being scared of how am I going to survive. After I had lunch, we had a lesson about optical fiber and learned about its inventor. Then we had dinner, after that, we played some games to get to know each other better. At 9:00p.m., we returned to the dorm. My dorm mate is a boy named Marco, he's pretty nice. Because this is the first night, we and the boys in the next room played until 12:00p.m.. Then I read a Chinese book until 1:00a.m., and slept.
