Mad Science Madness!

Today, we got to play with a Van der Graaff machine. Touching it makes your hair stand on end and grounds anyone who comes near you. It also makes strands of paper dance as well as future mad scientists squeal in fear--and that's always fun to see :p We also had a laser light show, which reminded me of Entrapment, for some weird reason... :p

Tomorrow, we get to make slime from scratch! And fly a paper rocket! The day before yesterday, we played with dry ice and simulated the "cemetery effect" seen in most low-budget horror films!

I've never liked science all my life. But Mad Science is making me change my mind.

It also helps that we all have cool nicknames, aptly called "Scientific Names". There's Magnetic Matt, Volcanic Vida, Kinetic Kelvin, Milky Way Mitch, Bubble Bob, Jellyfish Joan, Rainbow Rara...and of course, me--newly self-baptized as Electric Estelle :p (which was ironic, really, since I was one of the would-be mad scientists squealing at the thought of touching the Van der Graaff machine).

Sounds cheesy I know. But I've always liked cheese. *Grin*

Now to get some shut-eye so I make it to the 9 a.m. call time. :p I've been late two days in a row! Gah!
