ARML, Updates to the Blog, and Finals

Saturday I headed out with the state math team to the national math contest, ARML, in Iowa City. The contest itself is run nation-wide in three locations simultaneously - Las Vegas, Iowa City, and at Penn State college. I personally did horrible. I got a 1 (of 8 ) on the individual. High score on my team (the B-team) was a 3, but I was easily capable of obtaining a 5. I missed 4 problems I know that I know how to do. I literally smacked myself in the head with the clipboard afterwards. Besides that and spending an hour and a half in a ditch when our bus ran off the road, it was a fairly great trip and I look forward to it again next year. Overall, our A-team placed 3rd locally and 10th nationally (in division B.) Anyways, moving on so as to not bore you.

Today I decided I should add a few plugins to my blog since they’re handy. The first plugins I added was a stats tracker plugin. Why not? I then went to add a polls plugin. Figured it couldn’t hurt. I need to integrate it into the template soon… but that’s an easy task. Next was a post ratings mod, which looks nice and works fine from what I can see. I think I’ll keep it, even if it doesn’t get much use. =P The last two plugins were a plugin that added a link to the “Print” page in case you wanted to print something for some god forsaken reason and a plugin that displays relative dates. They’re nothing too special, but I like ‘em. =P

Next up, gonna mention my (oh so boring) finals. Two of my finals are already over, one being what is considered the hardest final you can ever take at my school. Glad it’s done, because I’m almost positive I failed… but I needed a 43% to keep an A in that class (Chemistry), so yay. Next final was my Spanish final, for which I didn’t study at all. There’s typically a large curve (well, there is on the Chemistry final too,) and I didn’t do too poorly, so I should be fine. Tomorrow’s the AP European History final (James, I’ll be IMing you shortly… =P) and the Analysis/Pre-calc final. I have an easy final for Analysis because everyone else in the class, ‘cept Molly and I, can test out of it. Quite disappointing really, but it’s easy none the less. Wednesday’s English, which I need a 39% or so on. The lowest you can get is 63% (literally). So, I think I’m safe.

That’s it for now. I’m just looking forward to the summer and finishing SZv3 and a few other projects like CSRPG. Wait, what? I didn’t say anything.
