What Does It Feel Like to Make the US Physics Team?

[daveed]

haha, I know this may be irrelevant to many of your lives, but it's very exciting, and I just wanted to let it out somewhere.

I just made the US physics team ( national high school cut of 24).



haha, so, thanks to everyone here who's had the patience to answer some of my questions, it's been very helpful. I love you guys

There's a training camp in a monht, so i'll be able to get a GREAT view of physics life.

thanks again,

-David

Congratulations! I wish that I could share in the credit, but I never helped you. That's probably why you made it.

daveed, that's wonderful! Congratulations! That is indeed quite an accomplishment!

Maybe you should get yourself one the Physicsforums Tee shirts to wear at your Physics camp!

Great idea! Though, I'm hoping some of our expert PhotoShoppers around here will come up with some snazzy new design logos for the t-shirts. They're all a little...white. I know if I got one of them, Danger would be chasing me with the garden hose.

Ahem...back to the topic (can't derail the important ones):
Congrats Daveed! That is truly wonderful news. I'm happy to be a part of the community that helped you (even if I wasn't in any way directly involved in any of that help ). Have a great time at training camp!

I wouldn't trust you to stay within hose range. I've got a SuperSoaker just for you—large calibre, double-barrelled.

Double-barrelled? I didn't know they made them that way!

You've forgotten already about me designing weapons? That includes modifying existing ones.

 

[daveed]

oh gosh, i loved my super soaker. but my kid brother's inherited that one =/

What do you do in US physics team?

There's a training camp...

I have this vision of guys wearing sweatbands and glasses sweating and pushing buttons on calculators with a coach screaming at them...I thought it was kinda funny anyways[/size]

Congrats! Doing anything on a national level is quite an accomplishment.
