Endless Summer

Wow! The summer session is almost over, but it feels like it just started yesterday.  I still remember moving in and trying to find all my classes. This summer was full of adventure, from the trip to the touch tanks, International Dessert, EOP gatherings, and the fireside chats. There was always something happening. 

             The International Dessert event was really fun to attend because you signed in, ate as many desserts as you could, and got credit for attending. To be honest, it was one of the better events.  The touch tanks were amazing! I got to see different types of ocean life first hand. My favorite part was holding a little octopus that apparently didn’t want to be held because it jumped right back into the water. Another event that I thought was really fun was the EOP gathering.  They gave all the participants free candy, and at the end had a raffle.  Sadly I didn’t win anything with my ticket, but no complaining.  The main event EOP had was a scavenger hunt in the Student Resource Building.  We had to find all the symbols on the different doors in the building and the first to find them all and draw them, won a prize.   Last but not least, the fireside chat.  I personally wouldn’t call it a chat because only one person spoke and seemed more like a lecture.  Nonetheless, Professor Gallucci enlightened all of us with his vast knowledge of Ancient Greece. His take on the story of the Trojan horse was fascinating though. Spending my summer at UCSB has been an amazing experience and I can't wait to start the rest of the year.
