The summer is over! That also means the program is over, and school is starting soon (it is actually starting tomorrow, and I do not want to go!)! This is so sad and tragic! :((

The summer is over! That also means the program is over, and school is starting soon (it is actually starting tomorrow, and I do not want to go!)! This is so sad and tragic! :((
The program was very fun though, and I wish it was longer. I had a good time and everyone was very nice and friendly. My teammates were super great, and they helped me a lot. I enjoyed the project I worked on too, which is good. My teammates and I have not completely finished it yet, so I am excited for our future results!! Listening to other teams present their projects was interesting too. I learned so so much. :)) Woooo!!
I just tried out the hand sanitizer I got for school from Target. It smells like elementary school when you are lined up at the lunchroom door and you get hand sanitizer from the little dispenser they have. Then, as you sit down at your class’s lunch table after retrieving your lunch and raise the disgusting cheeseburger to your mouth, you can still smell the hand sanitizer, except this time, you can smell the cheeseburger too because you are holding it and are about to eat it. It is not a pleasant smell. I should have gotten the one without the aloe.
Update on Why Size Matters (the book I talked about in the previous blog post)!! The rest of it was interesting too, so I think you should read it if you want to know more about why size matters. :)) During one of the book discussions, Pedro talked about water bears. I think water bears are not cute. I remember a friend talking about how water bears were cute, and I agreed to not be seen as a hater. I do not think they are ugly, but if I saw one in real life, I would not be an enjoyer.
Okay! Good bye everyone
Wowowowowow. Three weeks have already gone by. And, it has been pretty great.

Wowowowowow. Three weeks have already gone by. And, it has been pretty great.
I got to learn about the extinction events and the different organisms that lived millions of years ago. I learned about R, a coding language, too. All I can say is that it is R-right (hahaha I am so funny and hilarious and funny). I learned about a lot of other things too, but I cannot write about them because I have a limited vocabulary, and I cannot have my whole post be “I learned about blahblahblahblah.”
Last week, we started reading Why Size Matters. I think it is good so far. Honestly, I thought it would be boring at first because it is nonfiction. I never read anything nonfiction, except for when I have to read the history textbook for school (it is all Horace Mann’s fault >:(( ). Why Size Matters has a drawing in it, and it made me realize how big a blue whale is. So, if someone really wanted to, they could probably take a blue whale, remove all of its guts, find a way to preserve it, and use the inside of the whale’s body as a hotel or museum or something like that. I bet rich tourists would pay lots of money to see or be in it.
I am not sure what my teammates and I will be doing for our project yet. ooo A little mystery in this blog post. We started practicing how to do data collection. Some of the papers we are using are really old; I saw one written in the 1930s. Some of them are in Chinese too, and that makes me wish I knew Chinese. This is off-topic, but I once read somewhere online that this random guy thinks everyone would speak English if the world only spoke one language. He explained that English is the language of peace. He obviously did not do his reading for history in high school. I am hoping he starts soon.
p>Okay. Good bye! :DD
