Camp Math.. Weehee :p::
CampMath is officially over. :)
We really didn't do much 'brainwork' yesterday. During the first half of the day, we listened to three speakers talk about career options for math majors. Actually, they kept on mentioning stuff with regard to actuarial science. I heard from my cousin that there are less than a hundred 'graduates' or actuaries in the Philippines. SO that only means that those who take up acutuarial science are really, really good. :p Kaya pala maraming pera pag actuary ka na. According to my dear cousin (again), the starting salary (daw!) of an 'actuary' is something like a 6-digit amount. WHOA!
Moving along... After we took our lunch, we had another sort of gd. We were divided into eight groups, and a facilitator was assigned per group. Our faci, Hans, gave us intructions blah, blah.. He basically told us that what we were about to do is something 'Amazing Race' - ish. Hehehehe :p Except that we had to answer/solve math problems instead of doing detours and roadblocks. Good thing my groupmates did well! Haha! There was this station in which one member of the group had to play pick-up-sticks, and that person has to get a number of sticks that would amount to 20 points. Unfortunately, I was the ONE who sort of 'volunteered' to do this task. HAAAY... We didn't get a token (thanks to me!).. Gawd... My hands were all shaking when I did this. Grabe! Pressure... Good thing they bailed me out... *sigh* After this, we did more running around the Ateneo (always wear jeans and rubber shoes!), and we got to solve several problems (YAY!).. In the end, we got 17 tokens.. What we had was apparently not enough. Cox's group gained 38 tokens (Freaky!), and Katz's group came in second, with 33. All in all, I think the last day of CampMath was fun (except for the fact that I came home with sore legs and muddy shoes and pants).. I'll actually miss it.. Weehee! :p Good night! :)
