saturdayyy

sigh, today was a long day. Mhm, I crawled out of bed at 7:40. That's 5 minutes before my alarm even sounded, and was trying to recall the dream I was having but I came up with nothing. Then I got ready for my surprise math competition that starts at 9. 

Why do I say surprise? Because I didn't even know about it until like 3 days ago. They sent an email inviting me and I was like "oh ok, wait November 7th, let me check my calendar...THIS SATURDAY??" yeah, so I didn't really prepare specifically for this competition but luckily it doesn't affect me too much if I win or lose. 

So we head in the Google Meet and we take the test. Tbh the problems were really dumb. Might even have been worse than Centro LOL. I mean not that the problems were harder, they were just really weird and there was always more than met the eye. Something underneath the surface that I didn't perceive at first and that's what led me to make a mistake that could've been avoided. I also overlooked a pretty important detail on one problem so that's another thing. All in all, it didn't go too well. 

The test took 3 hours in total btw. So 1 hour after the test I had another math class. This one is for OMPR training, even though my olympiad is already over there's still one that hasn't occurred yet I believe. IBERO is its name. The class today was great actually. The teacher got 30 minutes late because she forgot about Daylight Savings but I think it was still pretty good. 

We talked about the average of figures. It's connecting the midpoints of the segments created by connecting the matching vertices together of two similar polygons together. Then the resulting figure will also be a similar polygon to the first and second. 

Later on, we went to Rama's place. We first played some volleyball at their community court, they actually have the full court for volleyball with the net set up already! Anyways we played for an hour or so but then Rama got injured falling while attempting to save the ball. 

His house was a 5-minute walk from the court so we waited a bit first for him to recover and then we left towards his house. Hmm oh yeah besides Rama there was also Psi, Dino, and Tom! Rama, Dino, and Tom are all anime fans so they put on a show for us to watch. It was about this guy using "cursed energy" to save the world basically. We watched like 4 episodes before we had to go eat. Mhm, the kebabs Rama's mom made were really good, delectable, as Psi said LOLLL membean word! 

OHH we also played Monopoly! The board game version is really fun with friends. Counting the money, actually having the properties laid out in front of you has a completely different feeling than online. Yup, well after all Monopoly can take hours so we never got to finish. Technically no one won although I think the winner would have been between Dino and me. 

However, we can never know for sure can we? Nope, because that's life! LOLL i wanted to say that because I was just listening to Frank Sinatra singing that. sigh, well it's been tiring so good night!
