4 Aristotle Rocks!

We sold liquid nitrogen ice-cream today. Everyone was impressed with the procedure to make it but we didn't even manage to break even. The main reason was that we ran out of tasty mixtures to make the ice-cream; all we had left was coffee which was too bitter and no one wanted it. Sigh...

But we still had fun. At least, I hope they did. I was just way too tired. I had to check on two other booths too (Physics + Leo Club) from time to time. And in the middle of the day I had to go out and refill the liquid nitrogen so we lost an hour there. Not that it made much difference because it was the running out of mixture that was the problem. We still had plenty of LN by the end of the day.

Anyway I'm just writing cuz I'm really, really proud of these kids. They were very responsible in handling the booth (i.e. didn't shirk duty) and they worked very well together. It's mainly due to their knowing each other since they were in Form One, I think. I take no credit for the kids' teamwork. I think I'm just lucky that I've been put in charge of a class which consists of students who are smart and responsible.

The band from my class who participated in the Paramount Championship (more on this later in a future blog entry) were also part of the mini-concert showcase. When I arrived early in school this morning I heard them practising in the hall, and I was quite surprised. I didn't know then that they were part of the showcase. However I recognised the song because they were the only group in the Championship to take on a song that is not of this generation - they played the funky Ghostbusters of the '80s which is really nostalgic for those in my age category. So I walked in and watched them practise (they're so damn good!!!!!!!!!!!) and it was then I found out that they were part of today's show. I'm totally pleased for them, but I can't help wondering why they were picked for the showcase, considering the finals for the Paramount Championship's band category is on Monday or Tuesday (can't remember which), and they said they were surprised too. But I'm totally happy for them. I missed their actual performance though, because I went out for the liquid nitrogen refill. I missed the whole concert, actually. It wasn't a biggie for me though because I've seen most of the performances before. I was just sorry to miss the band's performance.

I think 4 Aristotle totally rocks. Even though we didn't break even for our booth. Even though they screwed up the English debate (AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!). Even though we're not leading in the Paramount Championship (screw that!). Even though they hate me for my difficult Physics class test. Even though they screw up in Physics!!!

Let's see if I can survive the rest of the year with them though.
