Day 9
Okay, so, on Wednesday I spent the night in a cabin on my grandparents property with my friend Rea, and it was a great time, but I wasn't at home so I didn't post. And then I got out of the habit. On Thursday I made Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares, and then after Rea went home I read the seventh Harry Potter book for a second time. I have to say ( Read more... ) -
Day 4
So the bird died:-( It kept jumping out of the nest (like it did originally, I guess) and apparently some animal got it. Very sad. But today was a good day. I caught up with some friends I hadn't seen in a long while, and made some exciting plans. Also, I forgot it was July 1st until just a few minutes ago, so Happy July! Kumcha emails to follow -
Day 3
Remember yesterday, when I said building a form for concrete was oddly satisfying? Well, today I helped mix the concrete to pour in the form, and I realized a bit why it is so satisfying. For one, there's something about the mindless, physical work of shoveling sand and cement that is relaxing, and getting dirty makes me feel like a little kid in a ( Read more... ) -
Day 2
I saved a baby bird today. Okay, kind of. There was this bird that, according to my dad, fell out of the nest. He thought the bird had a broken leg, but it turned out that it was just a baby and it's legs were really too weak to stand on. So we picked it up, and but it in a basket, and tied the basket to a tree. And we saw the mother flying around ( Read more... ) -

First entry in... Oh wait, I can't count that high
To my credit, I think about writing in LJ a fair amount. Or perhaps that is not to my credit? I can always hope to write more often, but I won't promise anything. This weekend is HMMT. Next weekend is SAT's. And the weekend after that is state MathCounts... in Colorado! Hooray for Spring Break. It has been a bit of a rough term. I think some of the ( Read more... ) -
What a Week
Yesterday Mitt Romney, Rublican candidate for president and recent governer of Massachusetts, came to our school. They planned it poorly and held it in the Agora, which was not big enough. He was there from about 3 to 4, and I showed up at 3:15 when history let out and left half an hour later when I had to go to math. I was stuck pretty far off on ( Read more... ) -

Comparison
I’ve been here for a month now and two days now. If this were Mathcamp, it would be week five. If I did have to leave in a few days, would I be sad? Yes, yes I would. I am finally in a place where I feel involved, challenged, and, for the most part, accepted. In that sense, it is much like Mathcamp here. But unlike MC, it isn’t transient, at least ( Read more... )
