HEY. (and a late memory of the week)

Right, so i haven't posted in a little while. I have no excuse other than being busy (which is a decent excuse!) and then i tried to post but it wanted me to get a google account and i just king of said "oh yeah, i should do that...eventually" and i only just finally did it. So, there.

Umm... hey I won an essay contest! Thought you esssayissstsss might like to know that. The contest was "the wonders of plasitcs" and we had to do it as a project for robotics last term, but it was actually a citiwide contest and I'm getting $200 for me and $200 for the school. Which is pretty cool.

And I am really-truly-as-in-already-accepted-and-already-bought-the-plane-ticket-absolutely-definately-unless-something-huge-pops-up-last-minute going to Ireland for CTYI this summer! I'm taking a class on novel writing which sounds really fun. Then my family and my aunt and her friend are flying in for closing ceremonies and we're leaving Dublin on this adventure tour of ireland for a week. My dad bought a book and was trying to learn gaelic (which is apparently called Irish now... who knew?) but he gave up 'cause he said it's the most bizarre language. But anyway, I am super-de-duper excited.

And here's the memory of the week:

Remember when we read the articles about "Nerd Camp" which were SO TOTALLY WRONG? And we kept going on about how stupid that guy was, and how he only interviewed the really nerdy kids and only focused on their nerdiest aspects. So Amanda had us write essays/letters to him where we all yelled at him and told him exactly how wrong he was and got all our anger out and it was pretty funny :o)
