asdasd

Hello. My name is Eric Yu. I went to Summer Stretch last year (I took the class about debate) and decided to do it again this year, but with a different
course

I decided to choose this course because I liked Summer Stretch in general (I took it last year) and biology was very interesting to me (I don't know why it is...). I thought that this
course would be a basic introduction to biology. Apparently, it was about the same as a year of high school biology. I think science is very interesting, but I
have done poorly in science classes (not this year though). I'm not good or bad at specific areas of science compared to science in general.

I hope the course will be interesting and enjoyable.

Stuff

I started flipping switches when I had to turn off lights when I went out of a room. I just continued doing that and got used to it.

I failed Chinese school

I failed Chinese school. I got a really bad grade on the final exam (I probably got close to zero). I tried to avoid anything to do with Chinese school during the school year. I hardly got any homework done near the end of the school year. I also did not really care about tests and what the teacher said in class. I got really bad scores on all the tests. I have to take 8th grade again. I first noticed it when I didn't graduate at the ceremony. I thought I had failed, and I was correct.

XD

Stuff

I have to flip switches twice when I go in rooms. That is all there is to it.

Team Survival

There is a scenario in Wesnoth called Team Survival. You are in a circle with five other players and have to fight against multiple waves of enemies. Most of the time, everybody dies. I have not ever seen anybody win.

If one player dies, it makes it much harder for everybody because one player will take two waves (or two players will take three waves). This usually (or often, for the second scenario) kills another player. This leads to bad things (lol). Everybody just dies after that.

My locker

I never use my locker. It is completely empty, and I don't even know the number (although I can find out quite easily). I do not know my combination either. I carry all my stuff except for my history book in my backpack. I carry the history book in my hands.

I have done this for almost all of the year. At the beginning of the year, I carried all my stuff in my backpack, but this made it way too heavy. I decided to carry my history in my hands because I had seen other people do that last year.

What would happen if your country was nuked?

I read a thread about this on the Cyber Nations Forums (off-topic part). A lot of people said that they would die because they lived in or very close to a major city. Other people said that they would get a gun and try to fight the other country's army if they invaded. There was a debate going on about whether retaliating after being nuked was a good thing to do. Someone said that you were going to lose either way and that retaliating would just get more people killed. Another person said that you should retaliate to get revenge on the country nuking you. One (or several) person/people said that you should nuke the country to take out a country that launches first-strike nukes.

If my country was nuked, I would flee to Mexico. Hopefully, Canada would stay uninvolved. It probably would, since it doesn't want to be destroyed for no good reason. I would probably walk there because I don't know how to drive.

Why I don't like a certain bathroom

I don't like using a certain toilet next to my bedroom. It has a lot of stains in the bowl. The stains are pink or a similar color. The cover of the toilet has yellow/brown stains on the bottom (of the bottom lid). It is often wet, and I think the liquid is urine. The toilet is also smaller than all the others and looks strange.

I almost always use the toilet in my parents' bedroom or the toilet downstairs because of that. I also sometimes use the toilet in the basement, but only when I am already in the basement. I don't like that toilet very much either, but I am fine with it.

Wierdness (flipping switches)

I turn the main light of a room on or off each time I go in or out of it. I can make up for the flipping. I don't really know why I do this, though.

Rooms within a room are still part of the room they are in. I don't have anything else to say.
