The title was pretty obvious, huh? But its SO true! Everything else seems so boring... I'd rather be stuck in a quiz with only quotes (My least favorite questions) than to be sitting around at home right now. i was actually typing out all of my flash cards to my iPod when I remembered that I wanted to blog about the quiz meet. Lets start with the story, then the stats, shall we?
Okay, so this quiz meet was probably the first time I've ever called quizzing an emotional challenge. I started off on a bad foot, jumping too fast, WAY too fast, and finished the first quiz with 2 errors and 3 right. I mean, not bad, right? I thought that if I just studied a little bit more, calmed down a bit and took my time jumping, it would all be fine and dandy, right? So we get back to the church from the AMAZING billet's house and I thought we were ready to roll... until the first quiz of the day. Its my instinct to start panicking at the beginning of the quiz, no matter how much I was telling myself to stay calm and breathe... the rest of the morning went kind of well. I still got questions and stuff but I didn't really ever get back into it or used to quizzing again until the last quiz of the day. We placed 4th in the morning, so we got into championships!! *insert happiness here* In our second quiz of the afternoon Patricia saved the quiz and got us into a tie in the last 3 questions like we had 'planned' and quizzed out without error... THAT WAS AMAZING!!! Then I ruined it by getting one of the tie breaker questions wrong... which was kind of depressing... then I got the last one right just for the sake of it all! YAY!
I was really stressed after that, during that quiz my pulse had reached 210/minute and before the next quiz it was 162 so I sat for a bit of the quiz before stealing a question away from the other team even though we would lose anyways but Troy wanted 3rd person in and I was in an evil mood so I did... I tried apologizing cause they needed that question to win but they just kinda glared at me... SERIOUSLY GUYS IM HONESTLY SORRY ABOUT THAT! Troy told me to...
Anyways I got an amazing question in the last quiz of the day... "What is..." then I half got an r... real rood... my flesh is real food... I officially felt amazing! That was after I had gone an entire half hour without studying or talking about quizzing at all, which I was surrprised at...
Anyways, i was shocked to find that I placed 18th... Jon and Patricia placed 16th and 17th (team dynamic much?) and we placed 8th in championships! Hannah on NEXT 2 got 3rd place Rookie in the ENTIRE meet and top rookie in consolation... YAY HANNAH!!!!
Congratulations to all of the other teams and quizzers who did so well this weekend... without the competition quizzing wouldn't be HALF as fun! Now, excuse me while I try to recover from post-quiz meet....
One more thing, guys, my mom made an amazing scrapbooking page from last year's quizzing... so I think that it would only be kind of me to direct you to www.heritagemakers.com/4923 because my mom loved the scrapbook so much she is now running a business with them! I like the program... its cool, easy to use and really fun, so if you order one, order with that link cause then my mom gets paid for it, and all profits are going towards supporting NEXT quizzing :o)
Excuse the advertising... but I really do like the program.
Anyways, good meet... get ready for February!!
