Today is the last day before I go on to a science camp I signed up two months ago. This science camp that I signed up is funded by Wu Chien Shiung Foundation. This camp is located in a mountain at Xitou, Nantou. The foundation has invited four excellent professors to join the science camp and give lectures to the students attending the science camp. Three out of four professors that were invited to the science camp are from Berkeley and the last one is from Stanford. Each professor has a special topic to talk about. Professor Richard Zare is going to talk about “Mass Spectrometry”. Professor Shen is giving lecture on “”Mysteries of Water and Ice”. Professor Tsai will be talking about “Chromatin Remodeling”. Professor Alexei Filippenko will be talking about “Cosmic Evolution”. Knowing that four great professors  are going to be there, I immediately go on to the Internet and research on the topics that they will be teaching about. So far, the most interesting topic to me is Professor Tsai’s “Chromatin Remodeling” because I am interested in Biology. I hope that I can learn many most-updated information from this professor. Recently, the news of rabies infection cases increased, especially around mountain areas. I was really scared because there will be a field trip in the mountain, according to the schedule. I prepared many pairs of long pants, wishing those can prevent my legs from being bitten by wild animals. In addition, the Weather Report said that the temperature will drop low in Nantou, especially in the mountains. Therefore, I prepare thick clothes in order to avoid my science camp trip from becoming a fever trop. With every necessary items in my luggage, I lay on my bed, hoping for a good weather tomorrow.
