I’m a Science Kid... and I am PROUD

If you know me, or have even met me just once, you’ll know that I’m a science kid. I dissect fetal pig brains for fun and with glee, I create kinematics problems while running down the hall, and I resort to chemical formulae for... pretty well anything. I’ve even gone so far as to have compared my girlfriend to the 40th digit of π I can recite...and for some odd reason she took it as a compliment.

Thank god that not everyone in AP Physics with Ms. Hall is quite like me; still sciency, but more normal. I’m occasionally told that by taking this class, I am doomed to a lower mark and a heavier workload .

Schmeh, I say, you should see what we get up to down in Room 107. Under the watchful eye of arguably one of the most passionate teachers about her course in the whole school, some of the best kids on earth rock away, all the while investigating the physics of cycling, pole vaulting, sailing, diving, and archery.
