We just had our science congress today. Y'know what that means?
Rant/Rave
IP in 3rd YEAR IS OFFICIALLY OVER~! YEEEEEEEEEEY
Now I know how it feels for a parent to see their kid go off to college *sniff* Imma miss j00 alum fire-extinguisher
During Science Congress, the top 5 from the top 10 ( out of roughly 42 IPs) are announced. Then from the top 5, the top 3 are chosen by the judge panelists.
Rant/Rave:
Though during that day itself it became top 6 instead of 5 since the judges didn't want to eliminate some >_>
Which also meant we had to extend the time (we finished at 4:40 -.- )
The top 6 are: (I won't give the exact titles since they had big words plus they might get stolen >__> )
-The use of bacteria to biodegrade styro into biodegradable plastic (1st place toh )
-The use of *a certain type of mollusk* shell to reduce phosphate levels in water (2nd place)
-The use of tetra packs for making concrete (3rd place)
-The use of *insert certain type of essential oil* and ethyl as a paint thinner (it works better than commercial ones + it's safe
)
-The use of *a certain chemical* from *a certain rare plant* to reduce nicotine withdrawal (one judge said it has the potential of a post-college grad project)
-The use of a kind of sludge as a component in asphalt. (there is no effing way to simplify or censor this -.-; )
Plus I got to help the Glee club today; they needed a Cajon person
So I got to sit at the performers' section for the first time
Rant:
And I got to training late -.-
