Note (T3B37)

Just got a note from CWSF that I have to distribute to my teachers. Apparently I'm gonna miss 4 classes and I'm not supposed to do any homework at that time. Also, the principle spelled my name wrong on the email lol.

Clarinet (T3B36)

Dunno why my clarinet is squeaking so much lately. I'm so screwed for my band test tomorrow.

Cruise (T3B35)

I can't wait to go to CWSF! Apparently we're all going on sunset boat cruises, and we're also having poutine and maple syrup candies for supper on the day we arrive!

(T3B34)

Can't believe Donald Trump confused 9/11 to 7/11. Or maybe he did it on purpose...

Gym (T3B33)

Gym was so fun! I ran 400 meters in 1.08 minutes, and I also got first in my heat by 100 meters.

Track and Field (T3B32)

Track and Field was awesome! I jumped 3.7 meters for long jump, which was the highest for grade 8 girls in my school! The second girl got 3.55 meters.

Report (T2B31)

I'm trying to cram my 5-page CWSF report into 5 pages. At first, 5 pages seemed like a lot to write until I wrote 13 pages without trying. The hardest part is editing 13 pages into 5 pages.

Ebay! (T3B30)

I finally sold the miniature lipstick on Ebay for $13.00! Some person from the US bought it. I only spent about $0.50 to make it, but it sold for sooo much!

Sun Run (T3B29)

Yesterday was such an exhausting day. I got up at 7:30 for the Sun Run but it only started at 10 am.

Report Cards (T3B28)

This term I did ok for my report card. I got a B for socials studies. I hate how my teacher only gave me a letter grade for each assignment, and didn't comment on how I can improve the next time.

Donald Grave (T3B27)

HAHAHAHA so this mysterious donald trump grave appeared out of nowhere in Central Park!!! Link.

Weird Case of Burger - Napping (T3B26)

This is so weird. So this guy broke into a restaurant and cooked a few burgers and left with a bottle of water. Link. It would be so funny if people found out that he was actually a worker though.

Australian $5.00 = Vomit? (T3B25)

This is what Australia's money used to look like:



This is what it looks like now:


I feel kinda bad for Australia now...

Science Mentor! (T3B24)

When writing the 5-page report for the CWSF, I finally got paired up for a mentor to look over my work! She's basically a previous-year BC CWSF representor in 2015 for the senior division. Last year, she won a bronze medal for her project on ATP Starvation: Targeting Cancer Glucose Metabolism Using Metformin And MCT4 ASO. 

Of course, I have no idea whatsoever on what her project is about, but I'm still excited for her to read over my project report and give feedback!

CWSF Report (T3B23)

*So for these next few blogs, I'm going to write about my preparation and experience at the CWSF representing British Columbia.

Currently, I have to write a 5-page report in which I must hand in by Sunday, so I am really stressed out, especially because I have the Sun Run and Track Meet around that time.... Anyway, the most difficult part of this report would probably be condensing the full report into only 5 pages. I guess that's why they assigned me a mentor to look over my work.

5 Page Report (T3B22)

ughhh I have to write a 5 page report by next sunday for CWSF.

GVRSF Day 3 (T3B21)

Today was an AMAZING day! It was the last day of the gvrsf and I won a few awards! I won:

• Vancouver School Board Trophy with glass plaque
• Gold Medal and Certificate
• Nominee for the Canada Wide National Science Fair in May ( only 3 juniors were given this opportunity

It was such a great day!!!

GVRSF (T3B20)

At the GVRSF today, we had to go attend our assigned tours. I went to this water purifying station and it was so boring. All the other tours got souvenirs like ice - cream, when our tour just had university students talking over powerpoints.

Regional Science Fair Experience (T3B19)

Yesterday, I was at the regional science fair from 12 pm to 8:30 pm.

An Alternative to Principle's List (T3B18)

Pros of Principle's List/Honour Roll :

• acknowledges good work and work habits
• rewards students for outstanding work
• certificates can contribute to future resumes for applications to universities

Cons of Principle's List/Honour Roll:

• different teachers and classes mark differently, thus giving non consistent A's among different classes
• harder programs make it more difficult to get Principle's List
• peer pressure

Alternatives:

• recognition certificates for all - round participation and outstanding work
• volunteer work and sports
• more specific awards for specific areas of interest
• e. g. only volunteer or only sports

Pineapple (T3B17)

When you eat a pineapple, it's also eating you.

I thought we were friends.

Hacker (T3B16)

I wonder if this guy is actually hiding money around Vancouver. Then again, it's April Fool's day, so probably not. Link.
