The Science Olympiad

Well, I set my alarm clock for 5:50 last night, the only problem was, I did that at two in the morning. So, with no sleep the previous night, I'm very tired when my clock goes off, so, when I turn it off and stand up, I just collapse onto the bed for more sleep. When I wake up, it is 6:20, and I realize that in ten minutes, my ride is going to be here to take me to the science olympiad! I already had a bad feeling about it, because the e-mail told us to bring a calculator, and mom said it was just to find out what it was, and I knew that if I needed a calculator, I'd learn by doing...

So we get to RLHS (Raleigh Latin High School) at 6:45, just in time to get a ride. I rode with Mr. Cacamo and his wife, Merideth, Michelle, and Ben. On the way there we talked about... lots of things, interesting things you could say, we're an awkward bunch.

Anyway, we get there at 9 o'clock, and the thing starts. First, we watch a fifteen minutes video, listening to all these geeks say "it's good, we can get recognition," blah blah blah, Ben has been in it, but he's also a black belt, so he wasn't geeky, me? I never wanted to go in the first place. So, I get paired up with Ben and Merideth, both of them had been in science olympiad befrore, and we do some math stuff. Then, we go on to finding out population density, and how much it changes of a fifty year period. Then, we do an experiment with toothpicks, but we get stopped in the middle. Then we did some experiment with making a pendulum, and whether or not it was the length of the rope or the weight, I told everyone it was the length, forty minutes later, they come to the come to the conclusion it IS the length. Wow, I'm pretty smart. Then we went for lunch, they had pizza. They literally ordered 40 boxes of Pizza Hut pizza, yay! Well, after that was bottle rockets. Bleh, not exactly my thing. Then we go inside, listen to them talk, show some stuff, we fill out some forms, then we go home. On the way back we stop at this burger place on the side of the road, just those small places, for dinner. Then, the long ride back. I rode with Dr. Prunelle, John Carr (call him Carr), Tina, Greg, and Rob (Greg's brother), again, full of interesting topics.

We get back to RLHS, and we wait, while fighting with the free t-shirts we got, I won! So, dad comes to pick me up, everyone else is at the pool, I get home, and mom set the parental controls for teenager, DAMN, before it was adult, now, instead of actual NEWS, they give me some crappy info on bands and stuff, like RAP singers, I'm sorry, but I have never even HEARD OF THOSE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE. Now, mom will get an e-mail about wherever I was, where I tried to go, and my IM/e-mail activity. Why does mom care? Does she honestly think I look at porn? Well guess what, I DO NOT!!!! I feel betrayed, and cut off, the news section was how I found out about things going on in the world, I don't care about some crap band.
