HOSA

I went to the HOSA competition on Wednesday. I was competing in the event "Job Seeking Skills," which required me to write a cover letter and resume. Upon going to the competition, I had to fill out a job application and go to a five minute interview. The judges were super super nice, and the time limit really was not an issue at all. I ended up getting 2nd place, which I think is pretty darn good for this being my first and only year competing in this event.

Philly Scavenger Hunt

This weekend I am going to do a scavenger hunt in Philly with my brother. It's called the Big Hunt, and basically you use an app that gives you clues, and you have to walk to the certain destinations to get the next hint. They say you have 2 hours, but the whole point is to do it as quickly as possible. I am kind of nervous that I won't be that good at it, but my brother tends to be good at that stuff.

My 18TH BIRTHDAY

This weekend I am celebrating my birthday by going out to eat and possibly going to the mall. My real birthday is Tuesday, March 21!! I am seeing Bill Nye that day with my entire family and I am so excited!

Science Olympiad Update

I ended up getting 3rd in Disease Detectives, 6th in Dynamic Planet, and 7th in Experimental Design. There were about 40 teams there, so I was really shocked when I received the awards. We got the medals at the award ceremony, but the judges weren't finished with dynamic planet, so I had to go home not knowing if I placed in the top ten or not. I was really excited when I found out, and they sent the medal to the school. Overall, my last ever science olympiad was a success.

Science Olympiad

Tomorrow is the Science Olympiad competition. I am doing disease detectives, dynamic planet, experimental design, and invasive species, so I have a lot going on tomorrow! I am also driving down with my friend and getting breakfast, because we want to get into the right mindset. I am doing 3/4 events with her, so the day should be fun. The only downside about the competition is that there is a lot of time where we just wait around doing nothing, which can get really boring really quickly. Also, the competition takes the entire day, but because it's my last one, I am going to try to enjoy it!
