Nerd Symposiums

Not only is this the week of Biotech, but all of the "whos-who" of Science nerds S4 and younger have filed en mass to the U of W for the 35rd Annual MSSS.

Today was also marked down in MSSS history as one of the more humourous and/or strenuous ("it's all a matter or perspective"...bystander or organizer...) as an unexpected fire "drill" occured during the peak of judging. As hundreds upon hundred of the little children filed out, us Seniors stood around rolling our eyes until we were grudgingly made to go and stand outside while about 5 or 6 (literally) firetrucks pulled up to make sure our projects and the rest of the Duckworth center did not ignite in flames...it didn't!

Two major thoughts of today; Science is worth it for all the free stuffs/free foodstuffs, and you just never know when there will be (wonderfully) unexpected meetings!

This was the food they served us at the Biotech dinner (free of change) and it was absolutely delicious...I opted to post pictures of the free Biotech food as opposed to the MSSS free stuff since ....well actually I didn't take pictures of it, but it's all the same in the end really...it's all free!
Nelly glaring at me during dinner....probably because I told her she had a good project (which she did, and she won 3rd....sweetness!)
They also served us dessert, it was very tasty as well...and pretty-ful too!

As I was setting up my station along came Lauren, from camp. I had not expected her to be there, but she was there helping out a grade 4 class for her family studies class and it was really awesome to see somebody from Camp again! I didn't think anybody else could surprise my with their presence, but as we all know, that obviously means somebody did..infact three somebodies did!!!I was spotted by the mum of one of my camp girlies and I was very excited, even more so when I learned that her daughter Brittney was actually THERE! She went to go retrieve Brittney but to my surprise, showed up with three girlies who I recognized QUITE well! All three had been in my last cabin, and we were all very excited to see each other. I doubt there was anything that topped this part of my day. (L-R: Kailyn, Destiny, Emily aka TiG, and Brittany w/out her summer braids!)
