Regression

Last week's training for science camp was a bit boring... pedagogy and stuff like that. And I was dreading another two days of it this weekend.

But it turned out so much better!! Turns out we'd put all the paperwork and lecturing behind, and so we spent two 8-hour days going through all the activities we'd do with the kids. So that meant that I got to build a rollercoaster out of tubing, and cars with dowels and cardboard, and make a hydraulic marble maze, and windmills, and cars, and cranes, and bridges out of newspaper, and blow bubbles, and extract DNA, and take fingerprints, and type blood, and build a castle, and make cardboard box guitars, and send coded messages, and make a working stoplight.

Phew. And it was a bit tiring. And because of that... I really didn't do any homework last night. Whoops, see you late tonight, chem lab!

It was completely fun though. We were sitting in groups around tables, using scissors and glue... I even brought a lunchbox today! It was like being in elementary school all over again.

I also had a bit of a child-like accident... they had just finished telling us how important it was to emphasize safety to the kids... and I kind of sliced my thumb open on the scissors. It was more embarassing than anything else. Though not really.

Also, I got the phone call today that I get to be a Frosh Leader for my house next year. Yay reliving frosh over again! With a bit more work... Man it seems weird but I miss being exhausted and dead thirsty and always on the go from that week.
