Today I woke up at 6:30 in order to get ready and meet my group at school. By 7:30, I made it to the school and we headed to the university. We arrived literally exactly at 9:15, better than expected. :)
The first presentation was about computer science in general, this was exceptionally boring as there were too many slides, the information was too detailed, and the speaker was extremely boring. I was glad when it was over.
The second presentation was about the robotics team and how they build the rovers for the yearly competition with other universities, this was much better than the last lecture and I actually paid attention this time.
The third presentation was short but it was hands on, basically we sat in a computer lab with gaming PC's and we began to remotely hack each others computer. This was extremely fun, and was the highlight of the field trip in my opinion.
Lunch was great as-well, although the prices at the university were much too high. The so called "refreshments" were a complete lunch by themselves.
The final lecture was about computers and surgery, this started off pretty boring, but got pretty gore and exciting. During this lecture I was trying to plan how wed get back to the school via TTC.
After this lecture we were dismissed and surprisingly we got back to the school fairly easily, though our group was very immature on the bus/subway, and many people got frustrated with us. :)
Overall the field trip was very good, better than I had imagined it would be, I hope we can have another field trip sometime this year in this class.
I'd like that—if there's better behaviour on the TTC! ;-)
