Last night, we went out as the CommHEAT group for dinner for the first time! Chu Chu had plans, but Angy, Tian, Michael and I went to Macubana and finally got to talk about stuff outside of our project. I had a really good chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese, so I thought it was a nice evening out. Later in the night, I helped Angy dye her hair. I think it looks pretty good and it was definitely fun to do.

This morning, we had our first Ethics class with Eliot. There was a lot of debating and arguing points in this class. Afterwards, we had our luncheon lecture with Dr. Merate Bakarat. She is in the architecture department and does really interesting research in soundscape architecture. I thought it was interesting how she was talking about the perception of sounds and the different levels of the soundscape.

The rest of the day today we will work at our main projects.

Here is a picture I took while in Des Moines:
