Science Competition

I went to a Stanford science competition (JETS-TEAM, an acronym for something) today until about 3 PM. When we arrived, I saw Mr. Woo (the “coach”) sitting at our desk, who told us “I came early to reserve the best table for you guys!” And then some girl who look pregnant walked up and announced to us that part 1 has begun.

The first part was fun; I think I got all of my problems and all of others’ which I solved. The problem was, the sophomore girl and half of the others didn’t look like they knew what they were doing. It turns out that we guessed on a fourth of our question. (I got all of mine!) That’s pretty sad :( We need qualification requirements next time. Seriously, why did Joanna reproach me for not researching when it is the others who couldn’t do their damn problems?

We then had a “breakfast”, for which Stanford provided donuts and drinks. That was pretty nice. Then we went back into the room for part 2.

The second part was not fun. We were asked to design a nuclear reactor (whoa o_O), using aluminum tubes, uranium slugs, paraffins, nuclide sources, and moderators (water in this case). >_

    Um, I gave half of it to my sis. It was pens, shirts, pencils, erasers, highlighters, staplers, tape, and all the other good stuff.

    I didn’t need any more.
