Science Olympiad Experience

As you can probably tell, I joined the Science Olympiad club at the beginning of the year because of my interest in astronomy. However, I did not make the team. I was disappointed at my in-house exam result. BUT, I've decided to stick around the club and try to make the team next year. The in-house exam for astronomy is, in fact, manageable if you studied properly according to the guide... However, I have to admit that I did not study more than I would of liked.

Generally, I think it's a worthy experience. I learned a lot more about time management and the determination it takes for next year!

Ok,something more entertaining. Have you watched the movie, 'The Theory of Everything'? Well, you should and I strongly recommend it to anyone. The movie depicts Stephen Hawking's life at Cambridge University, his diagnosis of ALS, and his brilliant theory of the beginning and end of the universe.

I just watched the trailer again unconsciously and it still gives me goosebumps of excitement. The trailer alone is enough to get you into this movie. Toronto says it best, "The Theory of Everything has the right formula for Oscars." The most symbolic scene is perhaps when a cup of coffee cream swirls cosmically, enlightening Stephen. Oh and don't forget the scene where Stephen Hawking inches up the stairs just to get a glimpse of his baby.
