So for those of you who aren't from NEXT or on my Facebook friends list, I am panicking right now. Why? I was in a car accident yesterday morning. The idiot was sleeping on the wheel (whether he was drunk, high, stoned, or a combination of any of the above is beyond me) and rear-ended oiur vehichle. Twice. I freaked out and went into shock. Nearly passed out, got whiplash, and the seatbelt didn't lock so my back was strained a bit. While its taking a major toll on our vehicle, the first thing I thought about while I called 911 was oh my gosh... how am I going to quiz like this? I had my book with me, and skipped Ballet to study in the Emergency Room. Between the accident and now, I've taken 3300 mg of medication for my back and neck soreness cream and not wanted to do anything... alas, I continued to teach my Ballet class this morning, and now my neck and back are killing me again. Time to raise that total to 3800, huh? Thats what I was told to do though, once every 5-6 hours, or whenever the pain starts to come back again. I got nothing for the nausea and dizziness, but I'm assuming 'brain food' will be out of the question this weekend, as it has been since yesterday.

This relates to quizzing how, you ask? Well, how in the WORLD can anyone expect me to jump like this? WHY did this happen the day before a quiz meet? So, I'm looking around for tips on how to quiz with an injury to add to the nerves page. I mean, I've quizzed with a disadvantage before (Nakamun I had a sprained ankle and a high fever, remember? Before that I'd quizzed with headaches, pulled groins, half asleep... nothing like THIS) but it was minor and I could push through it.

Sorry for the rantiness thus far, lets get to the interesting stuff that people want to read.

QUIZ MEET TODAY!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!
That is an understatement to how the little person in my head is freaking out. I'm not totally sure if that little person is okay... maybe I need to take her to a shrink one of these days, but yes, FREAKING OUT is my instinct! My text is all recited, lots of copywork is done, and I'm psyched! 2.5 hours away isn't all that much you know!

Anyways, tips still accepted.

Question: What do you do to get ready for a quiz meet? If I asked this before, I'm asking it again just for the sake of it! W00T!

Quizzers Unite!!!!!

No, not the entire thing.

Well, yeah, kinda. But you know. I meant THIS particular post. I'm just guessing since the quiz meet is on Friday, which is in... holy crap... 2 SLEEPS?!?!?!?!?!?!?! (enter freak-out here)

Anyways, I've got this week off of school to do nothing but study, study, study, sleeps, and... study. So I'm taking a short break right now.

Its Wednesday. Wow. Last practice is tomorrow. I'm jumping way too fast and talking way too slow. I don't know my material enough. I NEED to study...
pre-meet syndrome. Did I write about that already?

Anyways, I'll stop while you're not sick of reading yet... or are you? LOL! Just getting pumped up!

And by 'it' I mean my emotional attatchment to Quizzing. Studying etc... starting to consume me again. The spark lit the forest on fire... right?

Anyways, I'm almost done the flashcards for the first meet.

OMG the first meet! Its one practice away after today... I know... what the heck? Where'd the time go? I'm kinda confused... I wish I'd been studying more earlier in the year....

Anyways, just thought I'd post those two things. This is short, I need to keep my flashcards, copywork and sutff up to date.

Quizzers Unite!
