Hi everybody!

Hey! This is Ivi. The summer for me started on May 4th when I went to Philly to visit a friend and celebrate my birthday (the big two-zero). After a week break I returned back on campus to do a math research. It's the 9th week of the research now (out of 10) and this is pretty exciting. We are preparing the poster for a conference in Michigan at the end of July. I just can't believe how fast the time has passed! Some weeks ago, the whole group from the research went on a trip to the National Security Agency in DC. There were some very good presentations on the Enigma machine and on coding/decoding. Other than that, there is not much going on campus. There are pretty interesting fitness classes in the gym. I highly recommend Pilates and the Fitness Fusion :) After the conference I am going home (in Bulgaria) for a couple of weeks and I am pretty excited about that. I live 15 minutes by walk from the beach, so hopefully it will be sunny and warm when I get there...






Here is a picture of our dorm from this summer!!I am so excited about living there in the fall!!

Friends of mine and I went to DC on July 4th to see the parade and the fireworks. It was beautiful. Here is a short video...
