well well well! we got 6th out of 24 teams! not bad, considering a) school has never placed in the top 10, and b) no one took it seriously. which is just a reflection of how little the other 18 teams behind us prepared!

wheeler won as expected. they meet everyday after school and on weekends. not one wheeler kid left without at least 2 medals. some were literally hunched over with the weight of their awards. me? nothing. but i have something much better than those dustcollectors, and that is something called a life! (obi voice! :))

it was a 13 hour affair and i was exhausted when i got home around 8 ish. unfortunately i felt compelled to attend school today... i didnt hand in an assignment on friday and got an extension to today so i felt obligated to hand it in on time. but i was up until 12 writing it. then i couldnt sleep. then i did, for a few hours, then it was school.

i tried to take notes with my eyes closed in 3rd period apushist today. who said notes ever had to be straight???? came home after school today and crashed. for a total of 4.5 hours. nice work, nice work.

in other news....

my previous post deserves some explanation, i know. several have inquired via im. well, most know i suck at confrontations. but for once, i was not afraid to stand up for myself and say that i had wanted to say for so long. it was less than welcomed, but ever so liberating. a long time ago i had picked up and moved on... at a snail's pace. in the past 24 hours i feel as if i have sprinted and made it to a place where i should have arrived about a year ago. (perhaps this is why i am so mentally exhausted) but yes, it is good to be at this point now. paradoxically energizing.

and i have no regrets.
