Fair Enough

Well, the regional science fair is over. So, the results came out like this: First, we won by default in our category (there were no other team projects in Medicine/health), then we won an award from Utah's Health Review, which is the annual periodical published by IHC for the Utah State Legislature, which included free publishing of our abstract, names, and photo, as well as a $100 prize, a plaque, research-shadowing at an IHC or U of U lab of our choice, and a free stethoscope. So, that was all wonderful. Lastly, we won Grand Prize / Best of Fair in Teams, so we are going on to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. That will be held in Phoenix, Arizona from May 8-15, and Melissa (my partner), our mentor Mr. Tuttle, and myself are going for free. All expenses are being paid by the state. So that is my excitement for the next year or two.

Science Fairing

Well, I am finally posting again, and so hopefully I will manage to keep current this time. Since last time I blogged, I have gotten involved in the Science Fair with my friend Melissa. So, despite a few equipment and technical malfunctions, we got past District-level, and are now going on to Region. Should we happen to win there, we would get an all-expenses paid (i.e. travel, lodging, and per diem) trip to the International Science Fair, in Phoenix. Woo-hoo! So, here's hoping it works out well. Oh yeah, Region judging is on Thursday the 17th, and the awards ceremony is on Friday, from 2-4 pm. So yeah, here's hoping.

Shows are over, among other things...

Well, now that I finally have a spare moment, I am going to post on the outcome of the shows, as well as a few other things. So, here goes.
Firstly, the shows went well, they were a ton of fun, and no huge mistakes happened, so that was grand.
Next up, tryouts for Madrigals and Concert Choir at Hunter happened this past... month, I suppose, but anywho, the results of that are that I will have 4 out of 9 classes for music, and I am taking 3.5 credits over the summer, online. So yeah, that is my most recent set of adventures. Yup.
