Captured Thought: Einstein's Dreams

Last summer vacation, one of my closest friend, Karam was explaining to me about what parallel universes were. She told me that it was one of Einstein's famouse theories. The subject of parallel universe interested me but I did not understand fully what she was describing. I did not how it would work or if such thing would be possible at all. However, just few days before when I first started reading Einstein's Dreams, I noticed similar explanation of parallel universe was described in the book. It was when the author was describing about one man but three different events occured to him in different time spaces. Those three different times resulted him in different situations and everything changed even though it was happening to the same man. Even the outcome changed. Through a story explanation, I began to understand the theory of parallel universe. Reading Einstein's Dreams was the "Now I get it!" moment that I had. Through a simple story, I almost fully understood what Karam was trying to explain it to me a year ago.

Carry it Forward: Architecture Project

Our group had to came up with a model for a middle school for about 500 students. At first, we started with saying random ideas. Some ideas were random and seemed too simple but later on, as we started to sketch our building, every ideas were useful. The idea of having a fish tank cafeteria and tinted glass were some unique and special ideas. Our group's building was made with everyone's opinions. Everyone's ideas were put together in a building. At first it seemed as people's ideas do not go along together. However, I was wrong about that. The ideas our group put together made the building that we designed more special. Everyone brought up points where it was all different but it would fit well with the building. I realized that working with a group will come up with so many differen ideas than working alone. If I was working alone, I would have never got to the point where our group came to. I learned the importance of a group.
