I can... sort of rave? And teach people? Still no guarantees that I won't accidentally hit you in the face with a glow stick. You have been warned :)

She "hypothesize[s] that it’s a magical place where smart people go to escape the usual bunch of idiots we call society." Incredibly accurate. Oh and guess what I got another friend to come, too. I don't know which site or course she's going to yet but if anyone is at CTY during 19.2 look for Jenny Jiang. She's really nice!

Based on the above I can probably conclude that I'm good at recruiting people to come to CTY so go, me?
 
 
Twelve-year-old nomore, which I suppose basically everyone finds depressing. I did still get four years of CTY.

'''EDIT:''' It seems that my parents are now considering sending me to [[JHU]] for 19.2 and my brother to YS [[LOS]] for 19.2 for his first summer. So I'm a maybemore now? If I do end up coming back, I'll probably go to JHU 19.2 and take LOCG.

Revision as of 12:59, 11 February 2019

Hi! I'm a flying squirrel. I often go on RealCTY editing sprees. I have amazing luck when it comes to who I make friends with, but terrible luck when it comes to where they live.

I can... sort of rave? And teach people? Still no guarantees that I won't accidentally hit you in the face with a glow stick. You have been warned :)

I'm on a Science Olympiad team. Link to my Science Olympiad wiki user page

I convinced a friend to attend LOS 18.2 and I'm trying to get another to come with me to JHU 19.2 in the unlikely event that I convince my parents to let me and that she miraculously finds her PSAT score report from 8th grade (which, at this point, is... also unlikely). She "hypothesize[s] that it’s a magical place where smart people go to escape the usual bunch of idiots we call society." Incredibly accurate. Oh and guess what I got another friend to come, too. I don't know which site or course she's going to yet but if anyone is at CTY during 19.2 look for Jenny Jiang. She's really nice!

I like you, I love you, I CTY you

The following is mostly so I don't forget the names of hallmates, RAs, instructors, etc:

Sites and Sessions

LOS 15.1

Course: Examining the Evidence

Instructor: Elicia

TA: Mark

Hallmates: June, Leah, Alexandra, Mio, Miranda, Chia-Hua, Elise, Thuivi, Natalie, and one more whose name I forget. She was Korean and from Los Angeles.

RA: Emily

Residence Hall: Huesman

Firsts:

  • First CTY
  • First experience with a university dining hall. I discovered soda machines.

PAL 16.1

Course: The Renaissance

Instructor: Kurt

TA: Zach

Hallmates: Makayla, Carrie, Grace, Jennifer, Anne, Lila, Chloe, Natalie, Sunny, and Stephanie. Stephanie never showed up.

RA: Dara

Residence Hall: Roble

I could go on and on about how awesome my instructor and TA were this year, but I won't. They a) made a huge effort to get us engaged and have fun with the course and b) didn't talk down to us like my instructor and TA last year. They were fantastic. End of story.

For some reason, the admins at this site really liked to go around campus riding a golf cart.

Notable quotes:

  • "In the unlikely event that I am decapitated and Zach is rendered unconscious, bring his unresponsive body THERE and await further. Adult. Assistance"
  • (on a heavily bleeding and knee, where the person whose knee is bleeding is nowhere near crying) "You're a warrior" "Actually, I think it's just that I've hit that place so many times that the nerves didn't even bother to regrow"
  • "The HAWWWWWT POTATOES!"
  • "You dimple!"

SUN 17.2

Course: Principles of Engineering Design

Instructor: David

TA: Melissa

Official Hallmates: Aileen, Chris, Brianda, Georgette, Mariana, May, Selina, Wendy, Stephanie, Nina, Karen, and Alina

Unofficial Hallmates / The Hugalujahs: Sophie, Elise, Katherine, Judy, Alma, Julieta, and Dani. Sofi's hall came up with the name; it's a combination of "hug" and "Hallelujah." The reason for this was that they hugged each other a lot and they also sang Hallelujah in the hallway a lot.

Official RA: Genesis

Unofficial RA: Sofi

Residence Hall: Campion, floor 5

Firsts:

  • First regular CTY
  • First performance in a CTY Talent Show, or any at all
  • First ISO
  • First time braving the center of the room in American Pie. This was at the last dance.

My instructor was feared by many. He looked threatening, sounded threatening, and acted threatening. For some reason, we all managed to overlook this and we (mostly) thought he was awesome.

My unofficial hall and RA were the only reason why I enjoyed this session and I like, love, and CTY them all to death. Case closed.

Notable quotes:

  • "The wall makes electricity!"
  • "Holy CRAP there are HOLES in this Frisbee!"
  • "Don't throw the Frisbee into the holy pool of water!"
  • "His smile is shaped like a triangle!"
  • "My TA almost fainted from the smell of the dead chicken bits in our classroom"
  • "THE SCALPEL IS NOT A FRISBEE"
  • "Are YOU in a GOOD MOOD?"
  • "BRING ON THE ROASTED POTATOES!"
  • "Where's Sofi?" (repeated many, many times)
  • "OXYTOCIN!!!" *gives nearest person a hug* (yes we were weird I know)
  • "Isaac! Step away from the vending machine!"
  • (with roasted potatoes on plate) "I just had to try them" See Memories:SUN
  • "How did the equations get on the board?" "I snuck in here and wrote them. I’m a ninja" "Don’t ninjas have to wear all black?" *gestures at black shirt, pants, and cardigan*

JHU 18.2

Course: Astrophysics

Instructor: Rutu

TA: Jason

Hallmates: Silvia, Betty, Isabella, Shuhan, and Irina. Isabella and Irina took on the arduous task of completing the IENG course and for that I applaud them.

RA: Indie until Tuesday night and Sarah for the rest of the session

Residence Hall: AMR 1 Royce

Firsts:

  • First experience with raving
  • First time hearing CTY canon other than American Pie
  • First Passionfruit
  • First experience with so much amazing CTY tradition
  • First time in such an impossibly humid climate. I live on the west coast. East coast humidity is not my thing.
  • First time in the inner circle during American Pie... because nomores can do that? It was weird. And cool.
  • First time I ever slow danced with someone (during Stairway to Heaven, unsurprisingly)
  • Probably the most depressing first on my userpage, but this was the first time my first RA, Indie, left for the hospital on the first Tuesday of the session and never came back. She got really sick during 18.1 and it didn't go away. Indie, you were missed.

While my dad signed me up for this site and session, I don't know for sure whether or not I'm going back, so I'm a maybemore. If I do go back, I apologize for the confusion. My parents made it pretty clear that 18.2 was my last session, but a few months after 18.2 ended, they changed their minds.
