Post 0007

Two days ago I got to go to this science convention, it was awesome!
There were experiments, for example they put a balloon in liquid nitrogen which of course shrank it, but apparently if you blow on it, it will inflate again which I never knew.
Another experiment was static with a Ven Degraff generator and of course I had the only suitable hair for the static trick they were gonna do.
I found some really fun stuff like this string that was propelled to make a circle you could then move into a different shape. Another was a robotics toy thingy booth which had a seal that clapped when you clapped or crab like robots that could fight. One thing I particularly found fun was a water droplet booth where you were able to play with water droplets which was really fun because they are really movable, and they are hard to burst, its amazing.

Yesterday I got to go to the field museum. During most of that time we were at the new...ish Aztec World!! It required way too much writing I think and I am almost positive I'm gonna get complained at for that comment and will probably get erased out of this. But even though it had a LOT of writing it was interesting. Unfortunately we couldn't take pictures (crap). Because of this I'll move onto the Mayans. Above is one of there gods. I also did Eskimos, native Americans, and underground and will get pictures at a later date. Oh, while at the Aztecs I learned that the movie Road to Eldorado was correct with its timeline (for a movie). I also learned that farmers helped the empire a lot even though they weren't technically part of it.

Today I almost finished my essay and learned that the main enemy in Halo 2 (Tartarus)was named after the Greek cosmic deity of the underworld. The Penn & Teller show Bullshit I am watching now and some episodes are pretty interesting and I think people reading this should watch it. But in it they can talk about some pretty interesting stuff like P.E.T.A. where they showed they aren't telling the whole truth about wanting to save animals. They are against animal shelters because are killing animals in there, but P.E.T.A after rescuing animals ended up killing seven eight of those animals by freezing them.
There was also one where they interviewed mediums that talked to the dead and proving that they may all be faking to get the info beforehand, and other very interesting ones. Other than that my day is done.

I need to use up this space umm bad joke bad joke...... two atoms walk into a bar, and one says "I think I lost an electron" so the other says "Are you sure?" and he says "I'm positive!"

yet again another post

This time I'm gonna write a quick post without a bad joke or anything (darn). Today was a pretty normal day, sorta, I did work =( but I at least am starting week 4's work! I did a quiz I needed to finish for ecosystem and only missed one (I swear if i retook it I could get 100%) but I also didn't study.

day after another

"I've been here now for 2 weeks, I feel the wall collapsing with no way out." OK there are some problems I'm noticing with my own work, 1. It's the second day and 2. If there was a wall that leaves the problem of not being able to get out if there is A wall there is a shortage seeing you need 3 or above to make an enclosed space so I can't be trapped, and if there were three walls and only 1 fell it would get stuck. But onto today I had some other kids come over to meet and stuffs. They were pretty nice but a little hyper. Oh, I played a game called killer bunnies quest for the magic carrot and apparently one card is called Russian roulette showing a roulette board with the soviet union flag in the back, so it's an interesting game.

Creation Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the beginning oh wait wrong creation OK I'm Xavier I'm a home schooled child. Today I went to Garfield Park Conservatory, a very, very, very good place to go if you like plants. This was my second time going to this plant haven its cool. It's got everything from plants that start with A that they have like Aloes to plants with Z like Zebra pillars. they even have a Century plant a HUGE plant that only blooms every 10-20 years then dies. Another thing that makes this day better was the tremendously AWESOME weather we have it's like 57F I would guess.
