Hello and welcome back!

Much has happened during the retreat. (I'm sorry I posted so few pictures, but it's becasue their size, at 3.5-4.5 megabytes each, made it hard to upload them to blogger. I will post them on my dad's website, shmsoft.com/yosef. The videos that I took then are also located there.) The research paper is in full swing, and we just had to hand in 150 notecards. Sadly, I had only 80, so a full grade is not forthcoming. (Maybe I should have written less on each notecard.) Today was my physics final, and though I should not have remained in school afterwards, I decided that I would study better here. Right now I'm taking some rest on the computer.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I'm back from the high school retreat.

We Begin
From Sunday the 19th to Tuesday the 21st, I was at Camp Cho-Yeh , located in Livingston, TX. It was awesome. We had color war, green vs. brown, and I was green, which lost. With the brand new digital camera I took many photos, and here follow some of them. If not all are here at first, they will follow later.

I'm so excited!

I just bought a new camera. It will arrive in two days. Some stats along with a link follow. It has 8 megapixels, is a Canon camera, and flips out 180 degrees and so forth. The links shows the A620; I'm receiving an A630, the newer model, but virtually the same.

'Twas a delighful day, with the koi fish swimming everywhere and purple dragonflies flitting around, mating, and some good photos came out. The turtles are especially Zen-like.
