Due to Leo's request, here's the medal:

State Science Bowl 2004/GJAS/Georgia Junior Academy of Science/Champions

It looks slightly better when not in a scanner.

Today sucked. Tonight is going to suck too. I drank two glasses of Coke, and they have done nothing for me. I'm incredibly sleepy right now. Going to sleep.

How to know you can't integrate properly:

  1. You sit for 15 minutes trying to solve sin2t + cos2t.
  2. You can't figure out that the square of y1/2 is not y1/2.
  3. You integrate and get this as an answer:
    -1/8*1/Pi^(3/2)*2^(1/2)*(-128/135*Pi^(3/2)*2^(1/2)-896/405*Pi^(3/2)*3^(1/2)*cos(1/2*arcsin(2/3))+304/405*15^(1/2)*Pi^(3/2)*sin(1/2*arcsin(2/3))+272/1215*Pi^(3/2)*3^(1/2)*cos(3/2*arcsin(2/3))-1504/1215*15^(1/2)*Pi^(3/2)*sin(3/2*arcsin(2/3)))
  4. Or if you get what appear to be endlessly repeating roots:
    -1/4*((2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2)*2^(1/2)*ln(1+2^(1/2)+(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2))*(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2)+4*arctan((-2+(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2))/(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2))-4*arctan((2+(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2))/(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2))-(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2)*ln(1+2^(1/2)+(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2))*(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2)-(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2)*2^(1/2)*ln(1+2^(1/2)-(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2))*(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2)+(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2)*ln(1+2^(1/2)-(2*2^(1/2)+2)^(1/2))*(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2))/(-2+2*2^(1/2))^(1/2)

I went through a box of Kleenex in three days. I'm Chinese, so I don't tend to waste Kleenexes. Now, if we assume that each time I blow my nose, I do it three times, and each time the ejected material decreases in a geometric ratio, and there are 200 tissues in there, and...

This weekend has to have been the busiest weekend this whole year. I didn't even do any Busy Work yet. Friday night, I went to the black history thing to get some SEG. Saturday was science bowl, until I came home. When I came home, I tried to get my sister to do some math, but I fell asleep before we were really done. Then Sunday was 8 hours of mission possible. Dang it.

Think I'll get any sleep tonight? Maybe I'll just leave the house and drive around.

haha... dutter driving at 80 in her PT cruiser...mark would have a gr8 joke out of it... intense game.... yea...congrats once more...and btw...you, david, gene and rj should appeal to bryan together... amongst you, dragos is probly her fav. so he should do the talking.... while you guys just cheer him along... it ALWAYS WORKS... remind ronjon of the cornell visit and how james, he, morgan and i got yelled at....=)

except it wouldn't work cause she hates me. gene might have more success.

I think you should just NOT tell her and just make plans. Then, once everything is set, just tell her a day or so before hand. Besides, she's a teacher- she'll probably find out this stuff sooner or later. Be careful when driving while sleepy- a lot of drivers fall asleep on the road and ALMOST DIE!!! My dad did that once and drove off the road... but he didn't get hurt or anything. But it's just frightening. Take care of yourself, babe.

you have to be subtle...and by subtle...i mean NEVER TELL HER EVER!!!
