In THE PAPER? woaaaah

I WAS IN THE PAPER FOR QUIZBOWL. XD


"A team from -insert school name- correctly answered dozens of questions about history, grammar, science, math and the arts to win the 2008-09 Junior Quiz Bowl Tournament on Saturday.

Members of the winning team are students -insert names here-.

"We're ecstatic. This was totally unexpected," said the team's sponsor, Eileen Rhoades.

Rhoades said Saturday marked only the second time the team has played as a whole, because the regular matches are often on Thursday evenings. That presented a scheduling conflict for quiz bowl team members who also participate in sports, Rhoades said.

"I'm just so proud of them," she said with a grin.

In the final round of the tournament, the Edgar Martin team pulled ahead of a team from Fatima by answering toss-up questions, in which a member of either team can buzz in to answer. If a team member gets the answer right, that team is asked four bonus questions worth a total of 20 points.

In addition, the tournament includes lightning rounds, in which each team is given definitions and must supply the correct word, with all of the words beginning with the same letter.

Fatima tied the score after two complete rounds, but stumbled in the final lightning round, allowing Edgar Martin to take the lead for good.

The event is the longest-running community program for the Junior League of Lafayette, said League member Stephenie Geiger, chairwoman for the Junior Quiz Bowl committee.

"It's all about the kids," she said. "This is a great way to give back to the community. The teams are always good, and we always see good sportsmanship among the teams." "

And on top of that, my team gets a free jean day. >D Which NEVER happens.

And there's a photo gallery... XD I look SO silly in the pictures! I laughed. <3
So it was fun/worth it. 8D Woo hoo! Now to finish science homework so I don't get maimed! XD

It's funny. In the whole quizbowl thing, my school and our 'rivals', PB [the gifted school.. x__x] are the only public schools.. All the other [8? 10? maybe more?] schools are private. xD <3

WUT WUT?

I've been addicted to the Sims.

Dad is coming home tomorrow! ^_^ Or rather tonight. <3

Life's been slow. School is kinda busy...

Oh! Today at school, I was heading to my french class, and on the way there, Mr. Mire, one out of the only six[?] [majority are coaches/teach woodwork/etc.. Mr Mire teaches sign languague and ESL students] goes into my French class. That's pretty normal since his class is next to my french class... Anyway, so I head inside, and he was standing to the side of the doorway where I couldn't see him. And when I entered, he went...

"UWARGRAGH!!!"

I like, screamed out, "OH MY GOD!" since he scared the heck out of me!

And then he says "That's French for boo!"

And I started laughing really hard. He was like "Glad to wake you up for French c:" and then he left momentarily.

When Madame De Prins [the French teacher] enters the classroom, he tells her what he did to me [in French of course. o:''] and Madame starts going "Oh, pauvre cherie! Oh blah blah!"

And I was still laughing.

I bet some students think I'm on drugs sometimes. >>;

I also played b-ball today! <3 I looove playing basketbal [when it's a fair match] and I have a nice team.
Though it was 5 on 5, it seemed more like 4 on 4 since these two girls just stood in the middle and anoyed us.
And I managed to make several shots for my team! Aaaaand get the ball/intercept. It was sooo fun!


I skipped fencing for the third week in a row..
I wonder if Phillip's been going. >.<;;;
