Boring info on my life, with interspersed tidbits on computers, math, and other such topics.

Some Problems Were Encountered

Well, the inexperience at this camp sort of shows right now. Our head counselor has been fired for letting people violate curfew and attend a college party. A number of people were banned from the library for harassing the librarian, but at least it's fixed now, and a little incident at the cafeteria means we have to be walked to eat now. Fun, fun. I'll write more later, but I'm getting hungry here.

Soccer and farewells

Well, we ended the soccer season with a bang. 6-0! This makes our final record 8 wins, 2 loses, and 1 tie. Actually, you could just look at our division standings chart. It hasn't been updated for our most recent game yet, but you can see the very close competition up at the top of the chart. Unfortunately we lost our first game of the season, which was a huge set back. We were TNK01 15BC301, btw. Anyways, we did well enough that we get an automatic promotion to C2 next year!

So I'm leaving on my flight tomorrow at 9:15. Yay for getting up at 6:00 just for a flight. I remembered why I like driving to camps, lots more space to store stuff. It sounds like I'll have a good amount of internet access regardless, so depending on how awesome my classmates are I might still be around. What I mean is, if they are awesome I probably won't spend much time on the computer. :P Ooh, and graduation should be awesome cool. I won't to see who wins the nonsensical "OHS Pioneer" award. Bah, where is the "only student involved in math competitions" award? Hopefully that will change with the next year.

Only one game ahead of us now

Won our game 2-1. It was ridiculous how much the wind effected our game. When we had the wind all the play was on their side of the field. When they had the wind all the play was on our side. However we scored more points with our wind advantage, so it was cool.

Getting close to departure

Not as major this time...

This was a more minor update.

Anyhow, the soccer game went pretty well. The final score was 7-2. I think I neglected to mention that I got a yellow card two games ago. I got two refs in a row which were ridiculous when it came to slide tackling. Soccer is a contact sport for a reason. <_<

Haven't felt like posting in some time

I did it again...

I couldn't help but redecorate. I got new techology (Compiz Fusion) so it's only appropriate that we did something to match.

So I finished about a semesters worth of physics in around a week and a half, which was a lot of work. I still have about half a semesters worth to finish before I leave for Stanford. I haven't got test scores back from my computer final, but I felt pretty good about as I left the testing center. Computer programs shouldn't be written by hand, it sucks. And I took two physics tests, got a 95 on it. In a bit of awesomeness I got an A on my philosophy paper. I was pretty much the only person in the class that didn't full out blast communism, it seems, so I got creativity points or something. So my final grades are: terrible. Actually they were: English B, History B-, Philosophy B+. And I got AP scores back... AP Comp Gov: 3, AP Comp Gov US: 3, APUSH: 4, Calc BC: 4, Physics: 3. Hrum, I'm going to need to retake the Calc BC again for sure... And UMTYMP finally mailed my summer homework.

I also had a spew of soccer games happening and coming up. One game was canceled due to rain, and three tournament games were lost. The scores were 1-6, 1-5, 0-6. Whoopdido, I gotta say, those were good teams. And then a game in about two hours, and another on Wednesday, and another on Friday. My legs make me feel like the Tinman.
