Any one remember the thread I made about my school winning state science olympiad competion? Tomorrow we leave for nationals! Woohoo! Course, we likely will get our butts handed to us, but that's okay, even with the likely security delays(1/6 of our team is muslim, a third white, and we are carrying at least one object that could easily be mistaken for an explosive, a robot if it matters).. It will still be fun And there is still the off chance that I will get a gold, and if I do it will be worth $100,000 in scholarships for me. And the best off all: someone I deeply care for will be going on the trip too, and she feels the same for me. She's so clever, ambitious, assertive, and cruel.

Hi all! We're back! Thanks for the well wishes. We placed 57th out of 60. In the events that I participted in I placed 38th in astronomy, I think 47th in physics lab(didn't study at all), 50 something in Wright Stuff(rubber band power airplane), and 23 in Remote sensing(sort of like map reading). I didn't do much for this event, but the other member of our team working on it(

) is somewhat obessive compulsive, and studied all night for the event(she's an insomniac). She also placed our single highest event(well, she did all the problems except 3 tie breakers)
; 22nd in disease detective (tracking disease outbreaks).
