Hi! I'm a flying squirrel. I often go on RealCTY editing sprees. I have amazing luck when it comes to who I make friends with, but terrible luck when it comes to where they live.

I can... sort of rave? And teach people? Still no guarantees that I won't accidentally hit you in the face with a glow stick. You have been warned :)

I was on a Science Olympiad team in 2018 and 2019. Link to my Scioly wiki user page

One of my friends who's never been to CTY "hypothesize[s] that it’s a magical place where smart people go to escape the usual bunch of idiots we call society." Accurate.

I like you, I love you, I CTY you!

The following is mostly so I don't forget the names of hallmates, RAs, instructors, etc:

Sites and Sessions

LOS 15.1

Course: Examining the Evidence

Instructor: Elicia

TA: Mark

Hallmates: June, Leah, Alexandra, Mio, Miranda, Chia-Hua, Elise, Thuivi, Natalie, and one more whose name I forget. She was Korean and from Los Angeles.

RA: Emily

Residence Hall: Huesman

Firsts:

• First CTY

PAL 16.1

Course: The Renaissance

Instructor: Kurt

TA: Zach

Hallmates: Makayla, Carrie, Grace, Jennifer, Anne, Lila, Chloe, Natalie, Sunny, and Stephanie. Stephanie never showed up.

RA: Dara

Residence Hall: Roble

I could go on and on about how awesome my instructor and TA were this year. They made a huge effort to get us engaged and have fun with the course and didn't talk down to us. They were fantastic. End of story.

The admins at this site loved riding a golf cart around campus.

Notable quotes:

• "In the unlikely event that I am decapitated and Zach is rendered unconscious, bring his unresponsive body THERE and await further. Adult. Assistance"
• (on a heavily bleeding and knee, where the person whose knee is bleeding is nowhere near crying) "You're a warrior" "Actually, I think it's just that I've hit that place so many times that the nerves didn't even bother to regrow"
• "The HAWWWWWT POTATOES!"
• "You dimple!"

SUN 17.2

Course: Principles of Engineering Design

Instructor: David

TA: Melissa

Official Hallmates: Aileen, Chris, Brianda, Georgette, Mariana, May, Selina, Wendy, Stephanie, Nina, Karen, and Alina

Unofficial Hallmates / The Hugalujahs: Sophie, Elise, Katherine, Judy, Alma, Julieta, and Dani. Sofi's hall came up with the name; it's a combination of "hug" and "Hallelujah." They hugged each other a lot and sang Hallelujah in the hallway a lot.

Official RA: Genesis

Unofficial RA: Sofi

Residence Hall: Campion, floor 5

Firsts:

• First regular CTY
• First performance in a CTY talent show, or any at all for that matter
• First ISO
• First time braving the center of the room in American Pie. This was at the last dance.

My instructor was feared by many. He looked threatening, sounded threatening, and acted threatening. For some reason, we all managed to overlook this and we (mostly) thought he was awesome. Then again this could just be me. Maybe everyone else hated him. The world may never know.

My unofficial hall and RA were the only reason why I enjoyed this session and I like, love, and CTY them all to death. Case closed.

• "Where's Sofi?" (repeated many, many times)
• "OXYTOCIN!!!" *gives nearest person a hug* (yes we were weird I know)
• "Isaac! Step away from the vending machine!"
• "How did the equations get on the board?" "I snuck in here and wrote them. I’m a ninja" "Don’t ninjas have to wear all black?" *gestures at black shirt, pants, and cardigan*
