Okay, admit it, you loved Nakamun. And if you're outside of WCD, you would've. Great environment to quiz in, let me tell you! I never realised how awesome it was last year, I guess, but now I do! I can't wait to be back!
Lets get stats and freakouts out of the way here: I placed 7th this meet, 10th all year, and my team placed 7th!!! AAAAAH!! I'm so excited! Everybody did so well this meet... we had some pretty good quizzes!
Okay, so, from the beginning of the meet. I arrived, book in hand, waiting to get the whole registration thing over with, hand in my Internationals application, get my stuff in the cabin I was in and get at it. Then I lost my spot in line. Why? Cause Alannah decided to start my chain of screaming reunions with the other Great West people. :o) It was so awesome to see all of them (or you... you know who you are :o) ) again... 2 weeks seemed so slow!
So I got everything handed in and stuff, found the cabin me and Patricia were staying in (with Edmonton Chinese... so happy we were with them... they weren't awake and loud all night!) after a mix-up and went to the little meeting thingy before the meet. The picture slideshow wa awesome... although NEXT didn't really send in any pictures so every other team had a photo up there except us. We were a cool font on a black screen. Yeah. Cause we're cool.
Then quizzing started... started the meet off strong-ish... quizzing out with 1 error. It ended up being a pretty good night from there... but I must've been too tired to remember what I was doing the rest of the night. All I remember is that the next morning, Patricia and I, well rested and excited, passed notes and got ready to go to breakfast. The day after that was almost nonstop quizzing, except for the half hour breaks we got and lunch, and in the afternoon after we got knocked out of championships and decided to go take photos with the team. Most of them are pretty hillarious... I must say... but we DID get one or two quality photos.
At the end of the afternoon I participated in the qualifiers quiz!!! It was a lot of fast jumping and seemed to go on forever, with a few time-outs and time between sets of questions, and i loved every second of it! I didn't make it onto the team, but I promised myself that next year I'd get my quote numbers memorized and do even better!
We ate supper after that and, again, I don't really remember what happened after that other than the fact that Edson 1 placed 2nd in the consolation finals!!! W00T!
Then we had awards... Alannah placed 2nd in consolation... Congrats! Great job to everybody who did so well at finals this year... there was some pretty fierce competition out there and it wouldn't have been HALF as fun without it!
So who's ready for next year? Are you studying already? Or are you taking a break? Any grade 12's out there? Any future quizmasters? Coaches? Scorekeepers? Answer judges?
Hm.... I need another question... how did you feel about your finals? Were they awesomeness fun? How did you do?
Well, I'm out. I'm taking a short break before I go hardcore on John. Watch out my new quizhelper... you'll never be the same!
Have fun with your summer break everybody, unless you're going to Internationals... then its not really a break... have fun there too!
