Well we won one day and then lost the other with Casteel evidently going into beast mode or something. On the other hand, we now have $1640! We're not broke anymore! No more embezzling from Filipino Club!

We won 2nd! Yeah, okay so we could have really beat St. Johns A in the last round, but still, we did better than we've ever done better. (Although not getting that Ministry of Love question? THE SHAME.) Anyway, we swept the chemical symbols 60 second round (Wilkins really does come handy in moments like these), and I got all of the poems bonus ( Read more... )

I AM SO TIRED. We got to school at 7:20 in the morning and then came back at 7:00 pm because of the tournament running late and then the individual competition (that was fairly stupid). We won 8 rounds and lost 2 to St. Marks and LASA B. St. Johns A doesn't look too strong this year (they couldn't get Winston Smith), but I'm probably writing them ( Read more... )

Oddly enough, I got into Cable and Deadpool (based on the shipping manifesto. That makes two, with Eyeshield 21 with Hiruma/Mamori as the first), and even managed to find a site with scans: http://comic-skulled.blogspot.com/2009/06/cable-deadpool-006.htmlRead more... )

So, I got made AC captain. Although the shock has worn off a bit (I think I had a deer in the headlights look the entire time for the rest of dinner), it's still just sinking in. It's really different from being made news editor because while I was sort of expecting to become editor, captainship was pretty unexpected (I thought it was going to be ( Read more... )

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AP'S ARE FINALLY DONE! I CAN GO TO THE NEWS BANQUET, THE ANIME CLUB PARTY, AND THEN GO WATCH STAR TREK THE MOVIE! AND THEN I CAN GO READ MORE MERLIN FANFICS AND ATTEMPT TO FIND SEASON 1 HOUSE EPISODES! And then I'll have to go study pre-cal, finish up a Chinese project, and do god knows what for chem...oh well. At least I'm News ( Read more... )

Long story short, we didn't qualify for nationals, but we did beat St. Johns B and St. Johns A. Can I please repeat that again just to savor the taste of victory again? We, Bellaire B, beat St. Johns A. (We didn't even realize it at first. We had the idea that it was pretty close, and so when they got the last question, we thought we had lost. So ( Read more... )

So it wasn't actually my first tournament (that happened last year, and was...well, not pretty to say the least. My self-esteem was dented quite a bit.) but I still considered today's tournament my first official tournament. (If you disagree, oh well. It's my LJ, so I can say whatever I feel like saying on it.) Either ways, I think it was an ( Read more... )

Ah...I think I'll either feel a little better when I get my SAT score back next week (which will lead to another Joker impression, and a jubilant post with probably another video posted) or I'll be filled with doom and despair. (I seem to never be able to be in a normal emotional state when it comes to these things...it would be nice if I could.) ( Read more... )

It was a stressful week. Number one was the Pre-Cal test that I actually did fine on but freaked me out so badly because it was only 7 questions plus one bonus. (I hate tests like that.) Chem was chem as always, but no labs for awhile since the storage place got flooded. English was alright, and maybe I really can do the whole AP English Lit thing ( Read more... )
