Sadly this is our last week of 2024 UCSD COSMOS. These past 4 weeks have been filled with lectures, projects, essays, field trips, social programming and many fun times. Students have gotten to know each other and have made life long bonds. The entire COSMOS team hopes this experience has been memorable for all participants.
7/28/24 (Chapter 21)
Another wonderful Sunday has arrived, and the students of Cluster Ten are doing what they can to thoroughly enjoy it. After having another great meal at the dining hall, the students left for their dorms. Today, time was spent hanging out with suitemates and/or fighting for a washing machine. Once lunch came around, students began leaving ERC to visit other food places or shops. Some students visited the Geisel Library, checking out what the other floors had to offer. As the end of outside time approached, students made their way back to campus.
Returning to their dorms, the students began preparing for another COSMOS tradition: the annual dance. As the RAs scurried around to set up decorations, photobooths, and drinks, the students were able to chill inside their dorms. Some students took this time to get ready, while others chose to simply relax and unwind before the dance. After a short while, the students were called out for dinner. Some students chose to eat dinner quickly to have more time to get ready for the dance, while others ate their meals slowly, already ready in their clothes. As collared shirts were buttoned up, and glitter was added to eyelids, the spiffy-looking COSMOS students made their way to Middle Earth where they began the festivities. Students enjoyed taking photos, dancing, and drinking mocktails and they chatted with their friends. Eventually, the RAs began announcing cluster royalty, and the King and Queen of Cluster Ten were…Pachi and Marina! As the night dwindled down, and the music turned low, the students made their way back into their dorms to rest in preparation for their last week.
