Sleepover!

Today we got let out of school early! Four of us then went to a girl names Jessica's house and had a sleepover there:) We had almost all never seen Titanic, so our excuse for the sleepover was to watch that. We made fajitas and ate lots of chocolate. And watched Titanic of course. I personally didn't like it that much. Can't really explain why. *shrugs* Oh well. We went to bed about 2 am? I think?:)

April Fools Day!

Happy day of foolery!

Today I went to the Technorama (sciency hands-on center place idk) after school with some other people from different math classes... I thought it was pretty boring. Which is really sad because I was really really looking forward to going! 

The part that was kind of interesting was the workshop that we did as a class, where we worked with liquid nitrogen and frozen CO2 (dry ice!) and fire and lots of snazzy stuff. But I picked a bad partner who had no sense of wonder apparently. She would perform the experiment, go "neat." And move on. Hello? You just did this sequence of events that led to this thing suddenly erupting into flames??? Does that not make you want to stop and think for two seconds why? It's not like they were tricky experiments. Whoah, look, a glowing piece of steel wool burns like crazy when you put it into a flask with a bunch of oxygen. I wonder why. Duh. So that was a mistake. Oh well. Lab coats and goggles are always fun, I guess.

And I feel like the actual permanent displays were not that interesting. I was impressed at how much stuff there was to look at and fiddle with, but it was also still quite simple. It would definitely help someone trying to learn or understand basic math or science. Multiple visual representations of Pythagoras's Theorem that you can twist and take apart etc etc are definitely useful. Oh well! I went and spent an afternoon somewhat stimulating my brain. Example: what kind of mathematical formulas do they program this magnet-controlled ball with so that it creates beautiful, perfect patterns in the sand and how does that translate to the machine actually moving the magnet around? Sadly this was not explained on the plaque. 

That turned into a rant pretty quickly. Oops. I guess I'm just sick of stupid people.

Tomorrow I'm going to a friend's house for a sleepover because we don't have school Friday or Monday because of Easter! Yippee! :)

Sleepover!

Yesterday I got up late and then met Lara and her friend Cecilia to go hang out in Zurivh. We went to an old-fashioned photo booth, got Starbucks, 

and just kind of generally wandered around talking. Then we went to Cecilia's house and made pizza and baked cookies and watched movies. :)

We were awake until 5 am, and then slept until noonish. Good morninggggg

Apparently I'm bad at unicycling

Today I went over to Lara's for breakfast, then went back home and watched YouTube videos for a while, then went back over to Lara's. She decided I need to learn how to ride a unicycle. Did you know that thing is a lot harder to ride than it looks? But it's also really cool, so...

After that we had dinner and then Lara came over to Oma and Opa's and we watched movies until 3 am. Yay!

Friday! Week 3!

Yesterday I had school and then went to Dominic and Lara's for dinner. Then Lara slept over... We watched movies until 2 am, and we plan on doing the same thing tonight! Yay!

It's funny how at home I never really spend time looking up. Here every time I'm in the train, I go up into the upper level to look at the sky. #sohipster

I love the advertisements in cities.
