can i order a kern...and a bottle of aspirin?

Yesterday was insane. I woke up early to go to school so I could get a ride with Mrs. Ladd to science olympiad. The funniest thing happened ever in the car, when David and Ming started rhyming, and Ming rhymed out something about being Chinese and his great "eggroll and dumplings."

So I sat around for like 3 hours since my events were in the afternoon. Me and Ming were in the Disease Detectives, and we had to find out what happened to these ppl who died. Lucky us, I saw this thing like five years ago on the discovery channel where they showed that some deer mice poop can carry a virus. So we did really well. Then disaster occurred...

I was to do physics lab w/ kern because I did it last year, and this year was about kinetics and linear motion...easy. So kern wanted to be in it, so I said ok. When we got into the lab, he made numerous steps toward failure: 1. Before the test started, the proctor freaked out at him for opening the test early. 2. We were told the catch the cart on the way down the ramp. He didn't do it, and when he did, it bounced off and fell onto the table. 3. He refused to measure the 250 g weights, and assumed the weights were exactly 250.00000000 g. 4. When we got skewed results, he told me he tweaked the numbers a bit. 5. kern didn't know any relationship between velocity and acceleration despite being in calculus. 6. His handwriting was totally illegible.

So I freaked and soon forgot when me and julian went to do the circuit lab. The old dude gave us like a 20 minute lecture and made us answer these short questions. I think we got the RC constant right, but I didn't know whether the curcuit resistors were series or not. So me and Julian came up with random values. Turned out they were really close...Lucky bastards.

So I got 1st w/ Ming in disease detectives, and 3rd in circuit lab. We kicked ass. We took 3rd in school overall, and Mrs. Ladd was really happy. When I got home, I went over to Julian's and killed some time. My parents watched "Alexander," which was terrible beyond belief.
