A crazy week

PotD

Yes, I underwent another dramatic makeover. I'm pretty much done.

So, I went to Chicago, and did lots of things that anyone who wasn't there would consider very weird. But anyways, we had an impressive showing, there were like ten people from my highschool, which amounts to about a third of the student population. We explored Chicago, hung around, and did lots of other random stuff. We got lost in the Chicago subway for around half an hour, quite smart I know. And I had bubble tea in Chinatown, so I made sure that I kept up my sacred summer tradition. I also somehow managed to read A Game of Thrones while at Chicago, which is pretty remarkable considering the udder chaos. I also went to Ravinia, which is a sort of outdoor auditorium, and we listened to a bunch of random pianists. This is a stretching of the truth. The truth is closer to "Can someone turn down the music? I can barely hear Jake."

My merry making was cut short by a return home, just in time for the annual Davidson Young scholars gathering. It was a pity that it was right after Chicago, because it felt less fun afterwards. But despite that Magic and Risk and Chess games were won, so it wasn't terrible.

Had a soccer game tonight, tied at 0-0.

Maybe more later, I've committed myself to doing ten hours a day of physics, so we'll have to see how that turns out.

Well... so long, for a time

Hey everyone, just so it doesn't seem like I'm leaving you all in the dark, I'll update you on what I'm doing before I leave.

These past few days I took my history final, which wasn't the hellstorm I thought it would be. And our scrimmage against the rec team had a score of 9-1. And I finished 1/4 of my computer course in two to three days.

Now I am about to leave for Chicago to visit my friend from OHS (amazing isn't it.) I'll be back on Tuesday night, so it's a decently long stay. And of course, it will be fun, because of my presence. Just kidding.
