I guess I will actually write something, then.
MR. LAMPAZZI WAS THERE!!!!!!!! :D
Otherwise, the morning wasn't very interesting--the category judges were really nice; there were two organizational judges from Northrup Grumman, one of whom was doing graduate work at MIT or something...another organizational judge from Northrup Grumman, who really just came by to ask about piano and how to get a mentorship, since he was a family friend-ish. For the last organizational judge, from PTO, I explained stuff really, really slowly; then at the end, he was like "Yeah...I did my graduate work in this area." ><;;! And Dennis used knockdown and knockout interchangeably, and the judge called him out on it... and he got them confused D:
At 1:00, they finally feed us, and we find out Alex Kim does not get nominated for Grand Prize. AKA, who messed up the judging in his category?!?!??!?!!?
Afternoon was much better. So there were three judges in the first group: the Indian lady was really nice, the other two, not so much. One of the judges just kept time and I don't think listened at all, the last one just looked bored...the second group of judges were much nicer and actually tried to follow the project, and were thinking. The last five-ish hours we spent on various time-wasting things, not including homework but including Uncyclopedia, which the county has apparently not yet blocked...and also made a computer alarm go off. The judging was supposed to end at 5:30 but actually ended at 7:00, meaning lots of quality bonding time with lots of random people!
...What a terrible post so far.
Anyway, there was this one kid who cured cancer, killing the cells by putting them directly in vitamin C and garlic, and he didn't understand why everyone was crowded around his project when we all went to look at it xD. Vish is apparently "Vish the Fish," and other quality projects included ones like how bleach affects hair color and how the length of a pendulum affects its period...
So I get home, and my mom says: "I bought a mango! You can eat it because you got nominated. If you get into college on Tuesday, maybe I'll let you eat another one." Yay. On the other hand, we got free food AND a free T-shirt. It was fun :)
I be braindead at the moment.
