What winars.

So we just got back from the HMMT trip. Kee Young and Hamrick completely owned (4th and 2nd respectively), so that was nice. A short summary of the trip:

We start off watching Troll 2 on the bus. The movie was advertised to us by Sam and Casey as "the worst movie ever made," and this sentiment was apparently confirmed for three years in a row by imdb. The movie centers around ....... goblins. There are in fact no trolls in the whole movie. The plot is exceedingly dumb, but as you'll probably realize after a while, it doesnt matter what you're watching, as long as you're watching with friends, it will become humorous.

So after Troll 2 we didnt really have stuff to do. I got some work done (gasp!) while people were playing tractor/bridge. Then I played Civ 4 for a while (Kee Young was very proud =P).

We got to the hotel, then left 30 min later for the mall for dinner. At the mall we met up with Haitao and Menyoung. Dan Emmons and Sam ordered a vermonster sundae from Ben and Jerry's (I think that's the place?), intending to split it with a bunch of people, including the two alums. However, after buying it, they proceeded to all eat from the same large tub of ice cream, thus destroying Menyoung's appetite.

We left sometime later back for the hotel. Menyoung went off to Harvard, while Haitao came with us. We got to the hotel and played mafia for a while (Yangbo and his dad showed up outside our room during this time). Haitao played mafia as well. Finally, twas curfew, and Haitao decided to camp out in Kee Young and Eric's room. We woke up the next day, went to the competition, and typical stuff happened. We saw lots of TJ alum, and then we left for our MIT tour by Jacob, Haitao, Cassandra, and JChen. They showed us the school buildings and their dorms. One kid at baker didnt realize how big our group was and invited us to come into his room and look around. He was somewhat shocked when all 24 of us came in >_>

Then we left for Harvard Square, with Cassandra and Jacob in tow, while Haitao went off to play SC against someone (UChicago, Kee Young?). We had dinner, then went back to the center of the square, met Menyoung, who gave us a tour of Harvard. Then we went back to the bus and went home.

Now I have to do my daum hw >_>
