Placings

Even though my placings are nothing compared to those from other states, I think my placings (in 9th grade) are one of the best in my school.

I believe my Dynamic Planet placings in 9th grade are notable due to my work and effort spent in this event, while the poorer placings in the same event from 8th grade was due to relying on my partner too much and not familiarizing myself with the binder. Dynamic Planet has boosted my confidence in knowing that if I spend genuine effort in something, I have the ability to achieve improvements in the thing I'm working on.

Weathosaurus, up to date weather data with OpenWeatherAPI, featuring a javascript station model with Magnus coeffiicient revised by Alduchov and Eskridge.

Season 2020-2021

I was in 7th grade in our "Yellow (B-Team)" and attended SciO remotely. I cried about Machines and Circuits since I wanted to solo them (I was very bad though).

Harvard-Brown (January)

I remember thinking I did so well in Meteorology just because I scored 2 places higher than our A-team. I got 39th.

BirdSo (March)

Ever since then I've known birdso as the "super hard invy"

Regionals (March)

I solo-ed Machines :D

Nationals (May)

Partner was Axing, I remember feeling disappointed because we could've gotten 3rd instead of 4th for chiropterology trial event.

Season 2021-2022

I was in 8th grade. I was very salty in the beginning of this year because I wasn't an officer. But I didn't even apply, so I have no right to complain :)

University of Olkahoma (UCO)

I remember our school having an ice cream party and they were gonna give out the uco awards, but i was angry bc i placed 4th and only top 1-3 get medals

BirdSo (December)

My first time doing the Game On event! Project link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/618975399/

High Desert (February)

We did a stupid ExpD experiment, it was that a pulley of IMA 1 would have "equal string length pulled down and pulled up". (like bruh)

High Desert was generally easy, as they had "mini invitationals", and some questions were exactly the same!!

Season 2022-2023

I am in the 9th grade and one of the Gelinas SciO captains.

Dick Smith Memorial (December)

This invitational was online and I hoped I can at least place in 1 event. Meteorology: We got 103 points, and the Gold team beat us by only 1 point

LISO (January 7th)

1st in--person Invitational. Crave the Wave was very hard, there was an "astronomy" question that was confusing. There were also stations which we had to create a metronome :/ Meteo and DyP was literally regents questions, so that was good.

Cornell (February 11)

At Cornell Invy 2023 February (1st Place)

My Crave/Meteo partner (@Jyin0) is really strong in Meteorology, thanks to him we managed to do the big packet in Meteo!

Crave: decent, test was alright and I thought we did better on Crave than Meteo. I'm glad I reviewed enough Snell's law and formulae.

DyP: was very hard; I knew what the questions were asking but just did not know the answers. I made up educated short responses and hoped for a miracle :) Afterwards I binged on rice krispies, chips, and cookies and was very sad. We cried before awards (she weeped for sounds), because it was genuinely way too difficult. And I know if I studied in the right spot I could have done better.

Cornell was very pretty, and the staff was very nice. Sadly the tour was cancelled.

Regionals (March 11)

Crave: same as Crave States last year. I was traumatized. I think for States, I will just freeze up and not do good on them events since I have "mental blocks" from States last year. Dynamic: harder than I thought, I thought it would be regents questions, but it wasn't. Meteo: This is prob my last time doing it. (update: ITS NOT YAYAYYYY DOING IT AT NATZ)

States (April 13-15)

Our school got 1st, but by a close margin of winning 2 points to 2nd place 7 Bridges. Everyone was very emotional...

Crave: There was no locating epicenter questions. We did the wave general/anatomy fine but struggled with the EM identification. I forgot to print some EM application thing so I had to write it in. DyP: Test was shorter but harder than we thought, there was no drainage ID, Karst ID, or wetland questions. There was 1 Strahler ordering question, 5 lake identification (which we made up lakes), and a PINGO question (it was a PINGO not PALSA...) :( we got that wrong but i KNEW it was pingo :') Meteo: I didn't compete in this event due to conflict with crave. I'm very proud of my partner and his partner for getting 1st in the event.

Nationals (May 18-21)

Our school got 23rd...

We got 1st in Meteo, thanks to my partner's fast problem solving skills and my contributions to finding an error in an average calculation problem. I was late to Meteo because I ran back after taking Dyp. The Meteo event superviser was very nice, and we got to talk after taking the test!

Crave was sad since we almost medaled if we got Celcius to Kelvin conversion right and if I got bulk modulus calculation velocity units right. But 9th is still a good placement. Dynamic planet we don't talk about it :)

Awards was stressful because we were confused about the logistics. But I'm really glad I got to meet several legendary people from other schools!
