Tuesday....

hi!
i know I haven't posted in a while...sorry
sometimes i just really don't feel like posting at all

anyways...about today. It was tuesday. I had math in the morning, which was cool, except that i didn'r do any of my algebra homework. I was really busy studying science this week, and i didn't have a lot of time

anyways, I did my math homework this morning, which was ok. However, it also meant that by the time I got to tutoring i was bored of math. My math tutor didn't make it any better. He made me feel like an idiot. He was basically insulting me every time he opened his mouth, without seeming to realize it. stuff like
"Oh, your handwriting should probably be a lot more legible" and
"Huh. Surprisingly, you're succeeding"
It was horrible. After math my mom, brother and I went to get food. We ate some sushi, which was tasty. Then we went to science olympiad.

So in case you've forgotten, the science olympiad people are all really weird. ALL of them, even the moms. We thought we weren't gonna have to see them after the actual science olympiad, but our team made it to state olympiad....so we do.

I was there for two hours...from 2 until 4. Then i went to choir

choir was okay. Singing always helps. However, today we didn't do a lot of singing. It was mostly sitting around for me, since i don't have a big part in our yearly musical( twelfth night)and since there aren't a lot of ensemble songs :(

yup...

Friday in Stanford

hi!
today was a pretty interesting day so far. We went to Stanford with one of our groups, to visit a little brother of one of my mom's childhood friends(whose name is Eliza, like me), who works there. He's a neuroscientist who studies hearing and eyes and stuff like that, which I think is a bit ironic since he's blind in one eye.

anyways, It took forever to get there because of traffic. I did get some nice foggy pictures though

Once we got to palo alto though, it was warm.

we walked around at stanford for a while, and looked inside this big church. Then we went to see where they did MRI scanning, and all that stuff. BTW, this wasn't just me and itai. We were with our creative writing group...don't know if i've ever written about them before. They're really nice, although their mom's don't like my mom very much. She's kind of embarrassing in the way that she's a bit socially awkward. Not too much, just a bit.

Anyways, after stanford we drove home, and now i'm blogging. I'm gonna make some french macaroons soon, because we have guests coming over for dinner. Maybe i'll post a picture.

bye!
