    Hey was anyone here at the Young Scientist thing today? I saw a few CTYI people there. Some of the exhibits were really crappy. Like the Knot Tying exhibit, the staying Healthy in Athlone exhibit (all the athlone exhibits had athlone in their title for some reason) and the X-Box exhibit (stupid X-box! I hate Bill Gates!)

    Stop complaining about the exhibits. Lets weigh up the possibilities: 4 classes of school (including double typing class, which is hell) or a large ctyi reunion under the pretense of a science competition. Which would you choose?

    A guy from our school did a thing on that sleep paralisis thing (when you're not asleep and you're not awake, but you're paralised and freaking out from hallucinations). It sent me to sleep.

    That's actually pretty interesting. You wouldn't find it boring if you were having an operation, regained consciousness but were unable to move! :)

    I was there too - third year running so I probably know some of you! Not very sure of anyones 'civilian' names but I was probably talking to you. There were so many ctyiers there. I didn't see the sleep paralysis thing though. What schools were you from?

    I am Conor with a Green Hand and Two Wrists.

    Or, for those of you who want my actual official name it's Conor Lynch. And my middle name is Patrick for those of you who are familiar with the red question in "Trivial Pursuit: Conor Edition".

    What schools are people in who were at the exhibition. Realise that sentence makes little sense but I am too tired to phrase it properly.....

    Me and Conor go to/hate St Pauls college. The one in Raheny, Dublin, not the one in boggerton, or whatever the hell it's called.
