Re: Illinois 2013
It's all good. XD I just decided to come back because I missed it. Once you get to college and you're a part of something as fantastic as SciOly, you start to miss it a lot. And I was just proctoring at State so I felt like coming back and helping out, at least on the Forensics thread. :-pmrsteven wrote:Haha ok. Sorry, had to ask.

Re: Illinois 2013
Is there any event comparable to Food Science in divison C because we have a person coming into our high school next year who has done well in that event.

There are some similarities with Materials Science, but it's not a perfect match.thsom wrote:Is there any event comparable to Food Science in divison C because we have a person coming into our high school next year who has done well in that event.

Re: Illinois 2013
I just uploaded 20 some photos of my robot/maglev/gravity into the image gallery, so hopefully that helps out some of the less-used sections of the site. Plus, if I can say myself, my robot is pretty spiffy.

Re: Illinois 2013
Got back yesterday from Math Team at UIUC. The campus looked the same (obviously) but it also looked different too
Probably because it was from a different perspective, I guess.
Edit: How was prom, chia? (I still don't get why you would pay 100 something dollars just to go to a dance....)

Re: Illinois 2013
How'd math team go for you guys? I forgot to ask the kids on my team what they thought, but I have the feeling they didn't do so hot considering almost all of their seniors were at prom... Speaking of which, I had a great timetuftedtitmouse12 wrote:Got back yesterday from Math Team at UIUC.

The ticket itself is $65, but of course then there's the dress and flowers and such; I thought it was worth it

Re: Illinois 2013
I think Naperville Central did pretty good! They got 1st? I think on the 2-person Frosh/Soph team...
Haha, it was a bit drizzly the whole day, but I think it went nicely overall (It was a hassle running around in concert attire from Wind Ensemble's Super-state to my first test >.<)
There were lots of frisbees on the Quad...
How much do dresses usually cost for prom anyways? (too lazy to look it up myself
)
Also, the freshmen on my team learned that Pokemon is a very good time-killer game (it also teaches you the importance of sharing, when there's 10 people who want to play and only 4 DSes
)

Re: Illinois 2013
High end dresses are $300 dollars, minimum. Or at least, that's what I've seen.
