What the title said. It's at Maplewood library at 7:00. You should all come.
Hmm. Well, yesterday I didn't go to debate since Andy had a cold, and I didn't want to go, so it was cool. But today I went to soccer tryouts with a semicold, and it was not cool. Other than that I've just been keeping busy. PSAT on Wednesday, I'm not very worried after a few practice test, it seems rather easy.
Today was a really uneventful day. All I managed to do was write my campaign webpage and take a practice PSAT. I restricted myself to a third the normal time and no calculator and still got a 220. I think I'm gonna be a semi-finalist. Just a hunch. Besides that, I would just like to draw attention to the fact that my blog has a sexy transparency effect now.
Oh, and my brothers and I made swords out of Legos and dueled. It was less lame then it sounds. I mean, when the last time you shattered your opponent's sword? I thought so.

Had my timing been better this would have been shown on Easter, but oh well. I hope you guys had good Mother Days, they certainly deserve the appreciation.
Well today I had the AP Physics B exam, as many of you already know. I did do about as poorly on it as I had expected. After taking so many standardized tests I've gotten a sense of what I'm ready for and what I'm not.
Then I went on to soccer practice. Endurance is clearly an issue for me. Killers (run to the middle of the field, and back, then to the end of the field, and back, rinse and repeat) should not be as hard as they are, but oh well.
Btw, I would recommend reading Reinventing the Bazaar by John McMillan. It's an interesting (and sensible (hard to believe when it's philosophy, I know)) blend of Robert Nozick's libertarianism (minimal governmental intervention in lots of things) and other philosophers that want a more socialist state. Yes, it's true I did recommend a book from my philosophy course, odd as it is. Actually this guy is pretty readable. Unlike a certain John Rawls.
One other thing. I nominate Bingo for world's most terrible game. Who wants to play a game where all you can do is passively read numbers off the charts? There is no way you can actually influence the outcome of the game. And if you had managed in anyway to find a "strategy" to use during a game of Bingo, you would be promptly accused of cheating. I mean, how more boring could it get. You might as well just play a game of flip the coin, or roll the d20. Playing bingo was pretty much the hi-light (other than the good food) of our mother's day celebration. Our game of Apples to Apples Junior was almost as bad, since I could predict my cousins predictable (yes, I do know I'm being redundant) decisions a year before they happened. Apples to Apples is one of those games where the amount of fun is linked directly to who you are playing with, and in this case it wasn't too fun. The silly Junior part also made it impossible to create fun by creating twisted and perverted meanings. So pretty much, it wasn't too fun.

Hehe, that looks funny.
So a lot has happen since the last post, if you've noticed I've been a little lazy about posting.
UMTYMP: 29, 23, 27
At least I think those are my scores.
I just got my ACT scores today. I'm super happy with them, because I did not think I would do so well in some of the sections. But the test did turn out to be the American Reading Test.
ACT: 33 English, 35 Mathematics, 34 Reading, 34 Science, 34 Composite.
Hmm. And I went to the party at Slagathor's* house. I was the only person that went, but it was fun nonetheless.
*His name isn't actually Slagathor, it's Baratheon**
**His name really isn't Baratheon. It is closer to Bosh***
***If you haven't figured it out by now, his name is actually Josh****
****Josh does not care whether his real name is used on the internet.
