I'm currently in the Philippines having just met and worked with the amazing cjquines1 on our ISEF project!
My dad obviously thought I was crazy when I told him I want to fly over to the Philippines to meet a random person whom I met on AoPS and whom I've only had Skype conversations with. Now, however, the meeting was very worth it and eye-opening.
Content-wise we're ready to go (we have three central and original graph-theoretic results)! For the next month and a half, we'll have to set up the diagrams, definitions, terminologies while creating our gigantic poster board guided only by a brief prototype we drew up today. We also have to research in our project's applications as well as conjectures, bibliography, history, etc. before the fun starts: mock presentations and interviews! In addition, there're also a lot of travel logistics to figure out. In some sense, this is all just beginning to get interesting.
Tomorrow, we have a flight at 6 AM to catch back to Shanghai. 2 days later I'll be on my way to Hong Kong for the AMC 12A. I'm still extremely inconsistent with avoiding sillies and adjusting my tempo (136.5 on the 2012 12A but 103.5 on the 2012 12B).
Nevertheless, my body is bubbling with excitement. I mean,
THE AMC IS IN 3 DAYS!
THE AMC IS IN 3 DAYS!
THE AMC IS IN 3 DAYS!
I'll try my best to stick to my own advice here which some of my readers may also find helpful.
I'll hopefully have a ready in the upcoming few days I planned for myself as I enter sniper-mode for the AMCs.
P.S. I recently discovered the world of Facebook - add me if you haven't already.
I probably won't be using it much though - it's quite addictive oops.
