Ahhhh...

Its so good to be back in civilization. I spent the last three weeks in WV, where we had slow satellite internet so long as there were no clouds. Which in West Virginia means approximately ten minutes every 9 days. Hence my not blogging.
I was there for the national youth science camp. As corny and nerd-campish as that sounds, it actually was pretty good. No TASP, but there were still some majorly chill people there. And there were some nerds. And I mean nerds. Guys who kind of redefined the noun. Guys who considered it a dating asset to be able to quote the first 20 digits of pi, e, sq rt 2, sq rt 3, sqrt 5, 7 and 11.

I'm not joking. I could give you his phone number if you would like it.

But to give you a brief rundown of what I did--
I sequenced my own DNA
I learned how to make biodiesel
I saw the largest fully mobile radio telescope in the world
I developed a crush (kind of to be expected)
I learned to juggle
I went caving
I met Barak Obama
I cheered for Italy in the world cup match (even though I really wanted Germany or Portugal)
I learned the math behind fractals
I took down kids twice my size in ultimate
I taught a few guys the difference between ultimate and penis frisbee
I taught several guys how to tie a tie (you're 18 and you never learned?)
I got to see several million dollars worth of original MC Escher prints
I developed a taste for chamomile tea

All in all a pretty productive three weeks.

But I'm back home now. Six more weeks. Six, and then I can go to college and stop fighting with my parents. We got along for all of two hours when I got back. Then it was back to normal and we were all reminded of why I need to get out of La Grande. I just realized that I have not produced a complete sentence in this entire post.
Except that last one.
Yay for fragments.
OK bye.

miss you all
