Summer Projects

Hey People! Welcome back!

A few days ago someone suggested to me that I start pulling together some ideas for what to do this summer. And today while researching Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock I came across a world record holder who invented a new rock paper scissors. A rock paper scissors that will create a revolution for those who are tired of a tie. Even in Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock everyone always does Spock. But in this game there is only a 0.99% chance of a tie. This game has 5,050 combinations and 101 hand gestures. Bring it on - the 101RPS!
So what does this have to do with my summer vacation? Well I am going to learn it.  And for those who want a challenge, but don't want to fry their brain, there is also a RPS25. I'm not saying that one is easy, no, it would still be super hard. But note quite as super hard as RPS101.

I am also planning to decorate my new IKEA bookcase

I take a lot of pride in the fact that I have a very IKEA-esque bedroom. My bed, white IKEA bunk bed with only the top part. My desk, underneath the bed is also white and looks a lot like my bed. And so does my bookcase. And so does my wardrobe. The only piece of furniture in my room that isn't white is my pink chair, but you can't see it properly anyway because I have a cool pillowcase covering it. I'll probably decorate the front with some awesome Paperchase  tapes. I might also wallpaper the back with block colors.


Another thing I'm wanting to do is make a marshmallow shooter. It's pretty much a gun made from pipes (I'm making mine from sturdy cardboard tubes. :) ) and you shoot by blowing sharply on the mouthpiece. Apparently they can go 40 feet into the air!

If you are looking for some summer projects to do, these are some good sites to check out:

Or you can learn some music, try to find the best ever cookie recipe to use for Christmas, grow some strawberries. The world's your oyster, so have fun! :D
