Summer Blog #3

Didn't post yesterday because I was really busy and wiped out. I went to my two classes and I really liked scientific inquiry. It is actually much more interesting and fun than it seems. Some of the people in my class did this experiment were they have to estimate the number of pretzels they could eat in a minute. Some were sorta smart and actually wrote a low number but other put like 10 or 12! We made them eat the pretzels for a minute and it turns out most only ate 3 or 4. It was apparently because the pretzel has a covering that absorbs the saliva so it makes it harder to eat them. In quantitative paleobiology I was EXTREMELY confused and so was everyone else. At first we had to sort like 300 shells and them we did this worksheet that nobody understood. We asked the teachers but we still didn't get it lol :P For activity hour I tried out tennis with Amelia and this guy named Adam (whom I feel sorry for because he had to deal with us two terrible tennis players...) and it was pretty bad but hilarious. We managed to get one tennis ball over the fence and the other two through the ONLY two holes on the fence (I know that is like impressive!). At 7pm I played BS and Scrabble with these two guys and a girl and I didn't completely fail... I actually won at BS! Some of the students, including me, then watched a movie called "The Truman Show" with Jim Carey and it was a really good movie! Oh and I signed up for hiking tomorrow at activity hour. I'm going with my roomate. Hope that goes well lol. I already got breakfast and in a couple of minutes we are going to have a SCAVENGER HUNT!!! We are divided by pods (floor groups) and my pod is SOO gonna win! WOOOO!! Well I have to go now so bye!
