Museum


Actually happened. Except it’s slightly exaggerated. Anyway, the museum trip was kinda interesting, but the fact that we had to answer questions on a worksheet kinda took away from the “fun” (if that’s what it’s called). It was kinda unorganized compared to other trips, though. We got to wander around the museum ourselves rather than having to follow some teachers around, which I guess made it better. During lunch, when I bought a 99-cent bag of chips with a dollar bill, and I actually got a penny back. It was the craziest thing ever.

After lunch, we all went to this planetarium thing (well I don’t actually know what it is… it’s like a dome thing) and watched some stuff. It was awesome, and I ended up saying “OH MY GOD” every few seconds because it looked like a huge meteor was about to crash into the room. I was gonna add that part into the flash, with an object actually crashing through the roof at the end, but the escalator part took way too long to make. The result was worth it, though. Especially the running animation.

Earth science

This took a lot longer to make than it should have. Anyway, tomorrow we get to go on a trip to the museum to watch stuff about science and the creation of the universe and whatnot! Yay!

The universe

I was thinking about this, but decided not to write it because nobody would really understand it. I ended up writing about rocks and collisions and stuff like that. I remember this one episode of Nova that I saw on PBS a few months ago about the creation of the universe, which was quite interesting. There were all these simulations and stuff like that, and it was awesome. Yeah.

Also, I’m going to be moving all the daily flashes to a new category called “Daily flash” rather than just having them in “life” and “flash”, because it’s kinda unorganized. I think I’ll make a separate category for Touhou stuff as well.

Rockets (Again)

Well, during a free period, some people decided to launch a rocket. It took like twenty minutes for it to finally work, but when it did, it was crazy. It was all like “woahhhhhh!” because the rocket went up so high (I couldn’t see it, but apparently it went over a building). Yeah. It was awesome. Not much else happened today, though.

Rockets

So yeah, today in physics class, we went out to the yard to launch some rockets! It was quite awesome, especially when it was shot at a 90 degree angle and everyone was all “WOAHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Apparently in the other class, the rocket went over a fence (those fences are like… 50 feet high) onto a building’s fire escape and someone had to climb over it to get it. Sounds quite dangerous. It was also really cold.
