CFL Tournament
just a brief update before the tourney-
thursday
won the chemistry category in science fair.
won the overall award in science fair.
got to make an idiot of myself in front of the entire school by being Mariqueta the chacha dancer... hoorah fo random fun
friday
got my uofl stuff. I'M IN THRELKELD! I also go the Hallmark scholarship, woohoo!!
left for the tourney at 3:30 ish... not very many people 20 or so, meaning the bus was fairly empty.
gossum introduced me to the wonderful thing called a donut cake, yummmmmmmmm. good stuff.
umm teddy wouldnt stop touching me and what not so i moved closer to the front. then he lost interest so i moved back. jlajfa;ljfajfkafjda yeah.
went to mr. gattis. sat with q jordon and mc. me and q were giggling at jordon who was playing with animal crackers... really, one of the funniest thigns i have ever seen. "roaaarrrr. what? I'm in college."
hotel- thomas kept trying to make things awkward for me, and he suceeded but i never told him that b/c i didnt want him to think he could make me feel weird b/c then he would just do it more often. but really, when he made me on the bed it was really hard not to give in and say it was awkward *shudders*
went to jordons room to practice OO. me him gossum and MC were the only ones in there, but MC is the only one who got coached. ah well.
watched Q shave, funny stuff. um yeah, can't really think of anything overly funny at the hotel.
woke up reaaallll early. um, didnt eat breakfast because i dont really eat on 4n6 tourneys.
did warm ups-- the weather one and unique new york. lol fun stuff. also did JAMIE LOPEZ, but it was like we were scared to say it as tilford pointed out.
doing one event all day was really weird.
1st round- i thought it was my worst but it ended up being my best.
2nd round- i thought this was my best, but it was my worst.
3rd round- somewhere between 1st and second.
spun around on the chairs in the cafeteria. they posted and for the first freaking time all year i didnt make oratory. so that made the rest of my day suck pretty much. only when i could really get my mind off of it was i not glum..
andrew talked me into go into duo finals with him b/c they might cheer me up. one was mildly funny, 2 were serious, one was absolutely bonkers, another one was quite humorous to me and the last one was okay but it seemed overdone.
awards- i was so belligerent *sp* that i didnt stand up for anyone but i did half-heartedly clap. candace and jamie got 3rd in duo, Q got 3rd in extemp, kyle got 6th in extemp and gossum got 4th * i think* in oratory. umm yeah, thats about it.
bus ride- i didnt talk a lot, just kinda stared out the window. andrew kept trying to make me feel better but alas i was to far absorbed in my loss i didnt really pay much attention to his good-intentioned actions...
finally i start to feel semi-social so me and andrew draw a picture of our interpretation of the INSANE duo we saw in finals. it's quite good actually and i believe it captures the essence of that piece inparticular.
went to eat- ended up running to McDs to change, subway to get something to eat, bus to put stuff up back to McD's to eat at the cool table.
got back on the bus- andrew and i talked for a bit but then we started listening to music and watching my videos on ipod.. shortly thereafter i fell quite asleep on him. umm drifted in and out of conciousness. that was pretty much my bus ride home. tilford gave us a speech about our mediocre performances and whatnot.
got home relatively early, around 7 when we got to the high school. i was still pretty bummed so i came home got a shower and talked to mom. i fell asleep on the couch while listening to my ipod. thats pretty much the last coherent thing i remember about last night.
so yeah that was my first and last national qualifier and it sucked. i dont think i'm going to NFLs so i dont have to feel that bad again...
