Sam’s interests

Summer 2014: Right now I am playing roller hockey and really like skating. I practice twice a week and have games on Saturdays. I am also working on JavaScript. Here is a program I just created last night:

3D shelf!!!!!!!!

Made using: Khan Academy Computer Science. Here’s the code I wrote myself:

var merock = 160;
var draw = function() {

stroke(255, 0, 255);
fill(255, 0, 0);

background(0, 0, 0);
text(“instructions: click to move!”, 121, 50);
quad(merock + 90, 150, 300, 200, 300, 300, merock + 90, 250);
quad(merock, 150, 200, 200, 200, 300, merock, 240);
quad(merock, 150, merock + 90, 150, 300, 200, 200, 200);
rect(200, 200, 100, 100);
if (mouseIsPressed && mouseButton === RIGHT) {
merock = merock + 10;
}
if (mouseIsPressed && mouseButton === LEFT) {
merock = merock – 10;
}

};

 

Winter 2013/14: Right now I am interested in a variety of things. For example, Minecraft (a video game), cubing, and speed stacking. I like playing football and basketball and sometimes soccer. I’m on a basketball team now and I practice every Wednesday.

Working on cubing with a new Guhong (stickered cube). The stickerless ones are not used in competition because you can see ahead more easily – they cut the time needed quite a bit.

Sam had us in absolute stitches tonight with his salad dressing monologue! I had tears rolling down my cheeks!

In a funny low voice: “Oh, these vegetables are really big. That tomato must be five feet tall. I wonder how big the vine was. Where did they come from? Maybe the forest? It is really rare to find vegetables just lying around in the forest. Oh! This says ‘valley.’ What is a valley? I see this hump here. Wait, let’s look over there. There’s a hump there, too. And a space between. Oooh! I see a chicken salad. I wonder how many chickens that is. I wonder how many people that could feed.” It went on and on for five minutes!
