Whoa

It’s been two days since the Science Olympiad regional tournament for New York City, and I’m still dead tired. Boy, do I have a lot to write about! Except, I’d much rather sleep than write, or else this may well turn into a full-blown philosophical stream-of-consciousness (complete with grammatical mistakes and word omissions!) monologue on the organization of teams and the technical education of secondary school students.

It’s probably a better idea to post photos.

I unexpectedly win a gold medal in EV, then get a surprise bronze in Sumo Bots. It works out, I guess.

I'm front and center, in a robotics team shirt instead of a science olympiad shirt.

I did quite well individually (though I was completely not expecting it), but overall, we were beaten by a humanities school. In a science competition. What.
