One: I was at the State Science Olympiad competition here in April. So, Science O is a competition where schools get teams together, of kids who like to do science. Team members pick different events, and then compete in those events at a regional. My school won our regional, so we went to states. I competed in Astronomy, Wind Power, and Ecology, and did middling well in all of them. My sister medalled in two events and my brother in one, but they are just middle schoolers. It was super fun, and I basically hung out wiht my friends all day. Except for taking tests. Also I drank several chai tea lattes.
Two: So the camp I am at is PAN, or Physics of Atomic Nuclei. I applied to the camp in April and was accepted, so now I am at MSU with a bunch of nerds who love physics. I'll be honest, I was really nervous at first, but these are my people, and I am really comfortable with them. I miss my family, and my bed, but this should be fun. Even though the rooms aren't air conditioned. Zach, the director, is just a weird physics nerd, and the people are great. I like everyone I've met so far. We haven't done any physics yet, though, so I will check back in at the end of the week with an update.

Chorus of the Day!
Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you
