    The beginning of this 'research experience" was exciting that just keeps on adding and adding as we are going along.I never always thought I would be a part of something real and big like this.Meeting this very well educated and devoted researchers(all with P.H.D) kind of made me feel really important.As we went all together from one conference room  to another from one lab to another looking at this very expensive peace of equipments which I have never even heard of made me feel really important and built my confidence.I want to give an illustration of what how I really felt in this past days.As one of the mentors(Dr.Starnes) was discussing about the Design  and Synthesis of  Porphyrin-based Anion Receptors, becausec it was the last presentation we had that day it was hard for me to pay attentions and I started to wander off while sitting there.I couldn't understand what he exactly was talking about (even though it one of the the best presentations
 we had)it was so deep for me to understand it.But, I realized one thing,he is talking about this very sophisticated research and even though I don't understand it now.I am sure I will deeply understand later after 10 weeks i.e if I get into his group which suddenly blew my mind.I am not sure how much we will be learning and what we will be doing in the coming weeks but by looking at the introduction week we had ,I am sure it is going to be a thrilling experience.
