So it's been almost a week since the AIME, and boy getting over her is hard. What calms me down a bit is that many people much more qualified than me, who've done more math than me, didn't even qualify for the AIME (take Wiggle Wam and Calculus123, for example). I think I'm already blessed to have even a shot at JMO after just a bit more than one year of competition math (yes, look when I joined AoPS). For those of you who watch basketball, Steph Curry just doesn't work his magic every game. What most people don't see is that behind his three-point percentage is the three-point percentage in practice, the fact that he practices his three-pointer with half-court shots. I know, that if I want to succeed next year, I'm going to have to bring my game to a whole new level.

Anyways, I'll be returning to AMSP again this summer, taking NT 2 and Alg 3.5 (I don't think they conflict, do they? If they do, I'll take Geo 2). I'm definitely taking Olympiad Geometry this summer, so I'll be working on my 108 Alg and 106 Geo books between now and summer. In addition, I'll be slowly working through the challenge problems of Interm CP, so I can officially get into some hard olympiad stuff this summer and preparing to go all-out in WOOT next year!

As for this Spring Break, my goals are:

1. Catch up on school
-Study with my PrincetonReview book for upcoming AP Exam.
-Do Learnerator questions (online APUSH questions).
-Actually conduct my biology experiment (it involves me bathing, lol).
2. Get decent at mechanics
-Do a lot of my Morin's book, skipping around and stuff to be efficient
3. Stop sucking at synethic geometry
-106 Geo! Maybe 2-3 problems a day?
4. Get to some entry-level olympiad Alg
-108 Alg
-Reviewing some of my Alg 2.5 materials from last summer

EDIT: I'm at a resort until tomorrow, so I'll get around to posting some nice math problems soon, hopefully.
