The Tale Of My Minor Nightmare

What do these have in common?

They strike fear in my heart.

And remind me just how awesome my dad is.

I had the most beserk science project.

Design, from scratch, a roller coaster for a marble with three hills. It must start at 92cm high and the first hill must be 80cm. The last two hills could be whatever. You could not power the marble with wind, magnets, etc. It had to be pure momentum that sent it from beginning to end.

Doesn't sound too hard, right?

WRONG!

After several failed plans and projects, rewrites, building, scrapping, praying, and roughly 12 hours spread over a week and a half...

My group and I were doing some very justified panicking.

Luckily, my dad is epic and extremely knowledgeable about any subject presented.

When I asked him for help, so began the several-hour adventure that is...

building my 'A' science project, which you see in the second picture.

Thank you so much dad!

How?

So, I just discovered this picture and felt the need to put it up. I play violin! Did you guys know that? I love it! If you don't play an instrument, I have one question for you:
How? :/
Seriously, get on it, friend!
I play piano and violin, and it's so much fun! I think of playing instruments as being fluent in another language.
An INTERNATIONAL language! Like the International System of Units!
Okay, that sounded really nerdy... :)
Donc, je viens de découvrir cette photo et ressenti le besoin de le mettre en place. Je joue du violon! Avez-vous les gars savent que c'est? I love it! Si vous n'avez pas jouer d'un instrument, j'ai une question pour vous:
Comment? :/
Sérieusement, obtenir sur elle, mon ami!
Je joue du piano et du violon, et c'est tellement amusant! Je pense que de jouer des instruments comme étant couramment une autre langue.
Une langue internationale! Comme le Système international d'unités!
Okay, ça sonnait vraiment nerdy ... :)

This is me at a violin concert. :)
See? See my happiness? This could be you! Propaganda!

C'est moi lors d'un concert pour violon. :)
