Last summer I attended Canada/USA Mathcamp! It was super fun. I did not do any math.

Okay, so I attended some classes. I did some math. But I went to way fewer classes than average (because sleeping in!), did basically no homework at all, and didn't always totally pay attention. I was kind of burnt out on school/math and just wanted to have fun! (I succeeded in that goal.)

This summer I'm going back to Mathcamp! And my goal this year is to actually do math!! (I'm even more burnt out than last year lol... but we'll see.) I don't actually want to do a lot of math, but I feel like it's a waste if I don't do at least some.

Resolves yes "if I feel good about the amount of math I learned" at Mathcamp this summer. So, it has to be greater than zero, and significant enough that I feel like I can actually say that I did math.

bought Ṁ20 of NO

@alleycat idk, this is so likely that it’s probably safe for me to resolve yes if you forget, right? since mathcamp will remind you how much you love math? riiiiiiight?

I don’t believe that you will encounter a SINGLE NUMBER this summer let alone “do math”

predicted YES

@ithildulin Yes call!!! :) and I'll try but no promises... you remember how much i like sleeping in lol

bought Ṁ10 of YES

@alleycat riiiight (specifically, i remember trying and failing to not wake you up while you slept in)

predicted YES

@ithildulin you didnt wake me up that much!! you were an awesome roommate lol (esp compared to me and my horrible mess) but anyway if u did wake me up i always went back to sleep after. I think I went to breakfast a total of one time not including the required first day RA meeting and the all-nighter, and that was for... extenuating circumstances

predicted YES

@alleycat bro i literally don't eat breakfast 90% of the time nowadays but i still made it to dana most of the time LMAO

predicted YES

@alleycat the breakfast after the all nighter was lowkey depressing though

everyone was leavinggggggg :(

predicted YES

@ithildulin lol you got up so much earlier than i did... and yeah it was :(( that entire day was so sad everyone kept leaving! i was literally one of like the last two campers to leave because my flight got rescheduled and at the end it was like a completely empty campus (except for staff cleaning up the maine lounge and me eating otter pops) and i had gotten zero sleep and i was really saddd T-T ahhh i miss mathcamp!! im so happy im going back :) we definitely have to call you!!!

predicted YES

@ithildulin ...our mathcamp rants have taken over like every group chat and now even manifold comment sections lmao (sorry other people)

predicted YES

@alleycat yeah mathcamp does have the tendency to take over... but at least "we are not a cult" as they say

predicted YES

@ithildulin oh yes!!! we are not a cult! we are not a cult! we are not a cult! (you have to imagine it being chanted by lots of teenagers and an older women while marching around those mini pole things lmao)

predicted YES

@alleycat we are not a cult! we are not a cult!
