Computer Science Week

After 9 hours and 30 minutes, we would be officially opening the Computer Science Week 2005! I am both excited and nervous. I don't really know if what we have been planning for the past months is going to be worth it. All the effort and all the classes I am most likely going to miss just for this week must not be put to waste.

It was during this time of the year, a year ago when the former CS reps told us to help out in preparation for that year's CS Week... Well, we practically did all the logistical work plus our exhibit for CS 192 (which I had more than enough problems to deal with) and our attendance for CS 198 symposium and Student Teacher Dialogues and many others... It was during that time that my resolve to be a CS rep, of service to the department and the college studentry was put to the test. I was definitely tired and was very much willing to quit. But, I clung on and I guess I survived. As the saying goes, "What does not kill you, makes you stronger", and I guess that made me and my fellow cs reps stronger and much more prepared than any other of the department representatives.

That is what we want the candidates for the next council to experience, something that would not only test their resolve but will also make them stronger and more prepared.

Enough said, here are the events for Computer Science Week 2005:
