Hey!! Today was great. We woke up at 6:15... which Im not used to waking up at that time so I was a little bit tired. We then went to breakfast and the food was awesome. I had some eggs and bacon.. yumm!! :) The next thing we did was we then went to Stipes and did some fun brain teasers and activites. Next we learned about linear equations, polynomials, and graphing which was some review from last year and some of it was new to me. My favorite thing to learn about was Fibonnaci and the Golden Ratio. Do you see a pattern.. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, 55,89?? In the Mona Lisa if you measure her head from the tip to her chin and then her two cheeks it should be a Golden Rectangle. Isn't that cool?? Leonardo DaVinci used a lot of math in his paintings. Then we went to the computer lab and created tessellations.
I kinda messed up a few times so I had to start over lol. But in the end it turned out pretty neat. Maybe you will see it in a museum some day.. haha nott. Tonite we are going to make some crafts..yayyy then we have a movieee!!! :) Lights out at 10:00 then do it all over again. Lets see what happens tomorrow
Peace out Girl Scout :)

Second day of camp
Hello again!! Glad to see you have come back to my page to check it out! :) Well this morning we got to sleep in another half an hour yayy.. but I was still tired lol. We then went to the dinning hall and had some breaklfast. I got buiscits and gray and some fruit. Then we walked over to our class room thing and studied about algebra titles and quadratic equations. I didn't get it at first but now I do. After that we had snack time!! Guess what it was... pudding hehe.Next we learned about Pascal's Triangle which was really cool. We had to put all the numbers in the triangle and then we found some patterns to it. Neat how pretty much everything in math has some kind of a pattern. I never knew that, did u?? Then we did this awesome thing with codes. They taught us how to do some engima stuff just like in the muesume of sciene and industry. We learned about breaking some of the codes that were pretty hard to do and very time consuming lol. Lunch time was next.. and we had Pizzzaa from Pizza Hutt. Yummm my favorite!! :) While we were eating, we watched this show called Numb3rs. Its soo intresting. Its like Crimial Minds or CSI. Now I'm addicted to that show. After that we went to the computer lab and we had some speakers, and their names were Iraj Kalantari and more. We learned about awesome Polynomigraphy. It was so fun to do I couldn't stop. I had so much fun building the art and all the different designs. Besides writing this in a little while we will be playing sand volleyball! Bring it onnn!! hahah. Then some dinner, swimming at the Rec Center, and tonites Trivia and Game Night. Lets see wats gonna happen tomorrow.
Hello!! :) Just another day at camp. Once again we woke up eariy which I am sort of getting used to now. Then went to breakfast, and I had french toast and fruit. We then went to our class room and Fractal Geometry was our first thing to study about. Comparing it to Broccoli and clouds and Cailflour, it made more sense. Its were that if you break off a piece of that thing its pretty much the same structure and same looking thing. After that we did patter recognition through Mastermind. This is a game that we played which was pretty hard because you have to just keep guessing colors and combinations which would take a while lol. Snack timeee!! We had trail mix and veggies. Guess what I found in my trail mix??? A Green Slithering WORM!!!!!!! I was sooo grossed out I couldn't even eat anymoreee. Then we had a speaker and her name is Stephanie Jones. She was an enginner person so we learned some more of enginnering. Then guess what we did. Made Slime ohh yahh. It was fun to play with but it made my hands pink. After that we had lunch, which was fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and beans. Yummersss :) Also while we were eating we watched another episode of Numb3ers. Next we walked over to the collage and learned about Polydrons. We used shapes and put them all together to make one big shape. Next we went to the computer lab where I am typing this right now haha. Later on tonite we are going swimming in the awesomely big pool then bowling.
Well I will keep you posted. Tomorrow is our last full day so I will tell you all about it!!!! :)))
Helloo!!! This is going to be the last entry i makee :((. Well once again woke up ( a little earlier than normal) and then went to eat. It was raining outside so we had to take the vans instead of walking. Then we went to class and did Probability and Statistics. Wow there are soo many combinations and stuff to it. Next we did more on Pascal's Triangle. We colored a triangle and I kinda messed up so it didn't look exactly how it was soposed to. Today was Christmas in July so for a snack we got to have Christmas cookiesss!!! After that we did some rele cool origami. It was confuising but it turned out really awesome. Next we had Lunch. After lunch we had a speaker and her name was Beth Hanson. She taught us about more Probability and Statistics. Following that we went to the computer lab and the polyynomiography results were in. For the best number I got 1st placee!! Yayy thanks for everyone who voted for me. Gabrielle and Alexandria tied for 2nd!! Then for best over all Alexandria got 1st, I got 2nd, and Gabrielle got 3rd!!! :) Well all did soo good though!! Everybody's polynomiograpys were excellent! After this we are going to the book store, and I think I am going to buy some Western University shirts and stuff like that. Then Dinner, Then I am going to stay at Susanne's Apartment thing yayy Im excited...
Tomorrow we have classes then go homee.
I am going to miss everyone i met here.
