It was really quite dum&#8230;.  I think (wait, nevermind, I <i>know<\/i>) that most people just came out to it to get out of class.  We had this pseudo-tunnel thing we ran through&#8230; more dumness.  Many pep-talks were given&#8230; again, all of them were pointless.  Had a huddle, screamed &quot;DKDC&quot; (if you don&#39;t know what that means, then too bad).<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was the day of the Quiz Bowl State Tournament.  Got up at about 7:45 (don&#39;t know why, had my alarm set for 9:30.  I have this thing where if I set my alarm on a weekend, I always get up earlier than what I set the alarm for&#8230; it&#39;s kinda weird, really.  I did it agian on Sunday, too.  Had the alarm set for 8, and I woke up at 7:30)  Anyways&#8230; just sat around for a while not doing much.  Then at 11, the whole team got together at Pizza Hut and had pizza.  A <i>TON <\/i>of pizza.  Then at 12 we went to the quiz bowl room at school and ran through some practice questions &#39;til one, when we left for AETN.  There we sat around until <b>FIVE<\/b>.  <i>Five friggin&#39; o&#39;clock<\/i>.  <b><i>WHY THE CRAP DID WE HAVE TO GET THERE SO FRIGGIN&#39; EARLY?<\/i><\/b>  So to waste time, I studided my composers and listened to my MP3s.<\/p>\n<p>Then at 4:45, we went to Studio B for the filming of the match.  It was about then when the nervousness started to set in.  Up to that point, I was pretty mellow, but as soon as we went into the studio, the I just started to get nervous.  We did good in the first round, it was like 80(us)-90(Malvern).  But then things started slipping in the second round.  Malvern got all but one of the questions to get the bonus, and usually got a lot of the bonus.  The lightning round was pretty good&#8230; and <b><i>I GOT TO GO IN<\/i><\/b>!  The lightning round was operas, and I got 7 of them.  The other three were really obscure, and if <i>I<\/i> say they&#39;re obscure then they&#39;re <i>obscure<\/i>.  (If you don&#39;t believe me, then you can come see my stack of composers study cards.)  The last quarter was pretty good, but it wasn&#39;t enough to get us the win.<\/p>\n<p>It was pretty dissapointing not winning, but I guess you can&#39;t win them all, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Just on the side, I thought I&#39;d show the few people who actually look at my blog this:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stacken.kth.se\/lists\/best-forestry\/2001-05\/jpg00000.jpg\" alt=\"Girls are Evil\" height=\"469\" width=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess it&#39;s time for an update&#8230;.
