North Shore Trip

Mitchell Gu — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:58:36 +0000

Last Sunday my family and I went to the North Shore. We decided to go all in one day. First, we went north on I-35 to Duluth, which took about 2 hours. We went to Canal park there, and saw lighthouses and stuff. Then, we went another hour north to Two harbors, Minnesota. There, we went to the lighthouse, saw the harbor, and ate our lunch we brought along. Next, we went to the Gooseberrry Falls, further north. We looked at several amazing waterfalls there, and went on a long hike. Finally, we went to Split Rock Lighthouse, and learned more about it. It was created after a legendary storm in 1905. The lighthouse used a Fresnel lens to focus light, which I learned about in geometry! From Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock lighthouse, I got a spoon. Maybe I’ll collect them everywhere I’ll go. Here are some of our pictures.

This Year’s MMTA Honor’s Concert

Mitchell Gu — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:42:46 +0000

This year was my fourth time at the MMTA (Minnesota Music Teacher’s Association) Piano Honors Concert. I got in because I passed the Preliminary and Final Contest. It takes place at the U of M Northrup Memorial Auditorium. This year’s was I think the horriblest ever. For the first half of the concert, I think every duet was messed up because they were rushing or not with the tempo. Also, the concert was about 3 hours long, and I had to sit in a very uncomfortable seat. I didn’t like the duet I got either, and I was secondo again. At least I got a flower at the end. I’m sorta too lazy to type more.

UMTYMP is finished!

Mitchell Gu — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:37:19 +0000

After a long, hard year of UMTYMP, it’s finally over. It was actually over a few weeks ago. I had the whole month of May UMTYMP-less freedom. Anyway, I just got my grade, and I have an A+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A+’s are really hard to get, and I get mostly A’s. To get an A+ you have to have 95% and above. Tests and homework are 40% of your grade, and Quizzes and participation are 10%. My test average was 100/100 flat (There’s 110 possible, but 10 points are bonus points), my homework average was 43.4/45, my Quiz average was 9.3/10, and my participation was 10/10. If you calculate, I got a 97.9 overall percentage. Also, my teacher wrote, “Mitchell has mastered the concepts of Pre-Calc and is well prepared for calculus.” Also, I took a UMTYMP Calculus Entrance Exam recently, and I got 45/50, which is also good. I pass to get into calculus. If you get a lot wrong in a particular subject, they send homework home to be done over the summer in order to get into calculus. I got such a good score, they didn’t have any homework for me! So next year I begin college calculus. I’m also considered a student of the U of M, so I also get an official U of M ID card. It grants me access to all the U of M libraries. My dad was hoping we could get access to recreation facilities, which would be cool.
