MC Competition

I guess i'll do this. I have some time before school and not a whole lot to do. I'm really sleepy. Last night i was up past midnight, as per usual, trying to do a poetry response. At some point i feel asleep and my mom came in and woke me up. I went to bed since staying up wasn't getting anything done. Yesterday was pretty fun, i went to school around 8ish and then we drove to Mississippi College for the MAO competition. The testing was decent, bio was really hard. Then we got lunch at Pizza hut, which was pretty good i must say. After that we went back to MC for the quizbowl stuff. The groups our chosen randomly, and when we got there we found that we were in a group with MSMS and St. Andrews. Things did not bode well for us. However, as the questions started coming, we were dominating. Or, more truthfully, spencer was dominating. I got one or two in, but probably 9/10 or our points came directly from spencer. So anyway, near the end we started doing a little bit worse, and when the scores were called, St. Andrews had beat us by one question. We beat MSMS though, and the top two teams move on.

In the second round, the questions got a lot harder. We did pretty badly at the beginning. A lot of physics, which we really don't know. We still did pretty decent, and at the end we had gotten third place, after Prep and Oak Grove. We beat Clinton, Warren Ctrl, and, best of all for spencer, St. Andrews, including spencer's arch nemisis...that girl whose name i can't remember. Anyway, it was pretty awesome. We went to the awards ceremony and the tests had been broken, meaning the awards ceremony lasted about 10 minutes, which was great. We played indian poker before and during it.

After the awards ceremony we went to baskin robins where i got some complimentary ice cream provided by Theresa. That was pretty cool. then theresa, spencer, michael, and I all went back to my house, where i had to do financial aid stuff. We also played fuseball and speed and eventually went to mcnally's to hang for a bit after dropping Michael and Spencer off at Murrah. We went to blockbuster and back to my house (minus Theresa), and eventually michael and spencer came back and we watched What Dreams May Come. Then we made pizza and hung out and messed around and went home.

on my other blog i reviewed What Dreams May Come, but basically i liked it. Now it's time for me to go to school, so so long.
