WOOOOAHHHHHHH. Has anyone ever seen the movie "Cube"? Because it is frickin' crazy. Crazily awesome. But seriously, like, mind-blowing. WOAH.

Overall, despite the fact that my experiments always fail, I really like working in my biochemistry lab again this summer. Especially ever since I got my old cubicle back from last year- the one that has, due to an odd placement of a bookcase, three and a half walls!! So except when I'm in the lab, I hardly have to talk to anyone, ever!! YAYY!! No ( Read more... )

WOW so much has happened. Let's see . . . the trebuchet launching went well . . . it fired the tennis ball fine, but once we started firing water balloons things got a little breaking-despite-our-duct-tape-happy, since it's only supposed to fire tennis balls. Nonetheless, although the last one even went backwards, it hit our dean and so everyone ( Read more... )

So prom was fun, despite the fact that our insanely awesome plans for a Prom Potluck Picnic Extravaganza (PPPE, as we liked to call it) on the Tidal Basin had to be moved into Alexis's lovely dining room because it THUNDERSTORMED. The cake was . . . interesting, especially after Willie Van Huvelen changed the "Extravaganza" candied letters to " ( Read more... )

So it's been two days since Hannah and I started using a power saw for our senior project, and I am happy to say that between the two of us we still have a whopping 20 fingers intact! Already we have defied the expectations of us held by Mr. Lang, Gil, and both my parents. There's nowhere to go but up ( Read more... )

First of all, YAY FOR 1,000 VISITORS TO THE WONDER THAT IS "HANNAH'S MOM"!! WOO!! Okay fine, let's be honest . . . a couple hundred visits were probably mine, a couple hundred more due to all my friends' mothers, and let's not forget spam robots or whatever. But still, I love you all and keep visiting! Even you non-human visitors, I embrace you ( Read more... )

First of all, best Founder's Day ever!! From Mr. Bullock and all the other teachers performing "Hey Ya" to getting a lovely time capsule and seeing how insanely different I was in eighth grade to spending a simply wonderful afternoon with my favorite people, I enjoyed this Founder's Day more than in any other year. Oh, Sidwell ( Read more... )
