Week 9

This week I organized and entered goals from Dr. Antón's research on the CommerceNet studio and Angela's project on web security. It was a very tedious job and took a lot of concentration; however, I have it done. I found out some problems about the database so I am going to include that information in my final report. Also, I went to Mahmoud Elhaddad's Masters thesis defense. This was two hours of nightmare for him, but for a few days he had a huge smile on his face that says, "I am DONE!" It was a very good experience for me too; you do not know what grad school is about until you know what a Masters thesis involves.

During the week I participated in the usual entertainments: volleyball, bowling, movie, etc. On Friday I went to Elif Buyukboyaci's birthday party. Happy *18* Elif :-) !!! On Saturday I learned how to drive a stick shift. Wow, now I know what it means to have control over a car. You should try it! On Sunday, a bunch of people and I went to a water park, Wet'n Wild. I have never done that before, so it was an amazing experience (especially "Twin twister" and "Devil drop").
