Hi Again Fellow Quizzers!
Theres only a week left until the first District meet of Corinthians, the second meet of the year... cram the material into your already-packed cranium while you can!
Yeah, one week. I'm super-nervous. I don't even know what team I'm on... we haven't gotten any official signs that the Beans are a go since SOMEONE decided they didn't want a 5-person team. Cough. You know who you are. I'm not gonna put out any names.
Anyways, this meet is going to be difficult... I mean, I have a REP now, I have something to match. So my mind-set is to beat my record of a 5-question quiz-out. Troy didn't think I would last time... nobody did... but I did. So I'mma try that again. Smilez!
Anyways, QUIZZERS! Wherever you are out there! Give us NEXT quizzers a run for our money! Wait, theres no money involved... uh... scratch that...
Everybody get ready, have fun, study till your brain is going to crack your skull open, doze off in PE (actually, don't. That could end up painful. Doze off in... carreer planning. As if you don't already), set your goals, read the tips on the site, but overall, remember to keep your head in the game, and take a shot for first, cause you miss all the shots you never take. See some of y'all at Vanguard, the rest of you, peace out, and keep quizzing.
Okay, so I am still shaking so I'm going to try to type this without sounding too excited. I JUST got first place at the quiz meet! Eeeee! Very exciting! Anyways, my team got to semi-finals in the Championship rounds, which is AMAZING especially considering it wasn't the 'dream team'. NEXT 3 also made it to semi's, but in the Consolation. NEXT 2 made it to the semi-semi's! Great job guys!
And great job to everybody else who had quiz meets this weekend! Northern Alberta: Thanks for some amazing competition! I'll se y'all back in November!
Anyways, next meet we might have the Beans back! So very excited!
Question for those commenting: What was your favorite moment at a quiz meet? Do you have a dream team... even if it doesn't exist yet?
I woke up this morning, turned on my light and studied. I usually don't do this, but this morning I realised its a quiz meet day... HELLO WCD-ers!! AND WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL STRESS DAY! Then I realised it was, like, 3 in the morning and decided I can't quiz if I don't sleep so I only studied for an hour.
This meet is going to be... different. I am very happy to be on a team with Laura and Henry, but sad I'm not with the beans :o(. Oh well... the Beans (and Laura!) are going to be re-united for the next meet.
Text has been super helpful to know, but I hate references. So thank goodness me, Lana, and Patricia had time to study together... I still wouldn't know a *cough* certain verse *couch 4:5 cough cough* that we spent *cough 15 minutes cough cough* memorizing... that was kinda funny... I made a pot of tea in the time we finished on THAT ONE VERSE! LOL!
But I guess we're all going to see how useful another study day was at the meet. Last year I placed 5th in consolation in my first meet... and I was a rookie, so I think this one's going to be relatively less tense than practice until there are 2 or more NEXT teams in one room... then its ON! Like JAM on TOAST! LOL!
Anyways, good luck to all of you with quiz meets this weekend, have fun and do your best!
Hello again and welcome to another blog post from an obsessed study-a-holic! (that didn't come out right...)
Just thought I'd update y'all!
One week until Quiz meet time. The Beans are OFFICIALLY back together... plus Laura. I am SO happy we got the dream team again! Watch out WCD... we are IN!
But, for the first meet we're not together because they... uh... feel like it?? I don't know. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! Did I MENTION that its next week?? AAAAAH!
We ALL hate chapters 4 and 5 at NEXT. ALL! of us. Not even kidding. Probably because when they're together its so much material to memorize! By the time we get to the meet, though, we WILL be awesome! Cause thats just what we are! Yay!
And I finally got my head in the game and started on the flashcards for 1 and 2 Corinthians, so check it out homies!
You are so lucky I didn't say that out loud. Would've sounded SO wierd...
So, the first quiz meet is sneaking up on the Western Canadian Division WAY too early again. Tis the season for organizing study days/parties, dicussing team arrangements, studying way too much... and if that last one was surprising, you haven't met me yet! 2 practices left for our teams. This is happening WAY too soon!
I also have some bad news. The Beans might have to split up this year. WAAAAH! We have a wierd number of quizzers this year since one of the ppl left and we are left with 9. Which means either 3 teams of 3, or 2 teams, 1 of 4 and 1 of 5. I am kinda leaning towards 4 and 5. This way, The Beans are back and we can all have great meets. I'll blog when the descisioin is made.
Thanks for reading my rambling, by the way. The site has gotten AMAZING feedback! I just added a few more study methids and a few more rookie tips!
Hey y'all!
All of the Beans were re-united at the first Quizzing practice of the year! We all did our verses and we're all pretty pumped for the year. Let me tell you, they don't memorize text for nothing! Its really useful! Actually, its kinda frustrating, case when you know the answer but didn't jump fast enough, and they don't know the answer, even if they're on a different team, you just wanna scream at them. But thats okay. At meets, thats what the frustration plan is for. (see dealing with nerves)
Hey y'all!
Just realised that I forgot to mention how we did at Nakamun! Okay, yes I did get top rookie but I personally still stunk. I was first of 3 rookies in the division. Anyways, Patricia and Jon got 4th and 5th in the consolation (Congratulations guys!!) and our team came in second in consolation (by 20 points... still kinda bitter that I got two questions wrong that quiz... with those 40 points and without the toss-ups we WOULD'VE won... as I said... still bitter) which is awesome (Okay, I am only bitter at me. The team did great!)!!! Kinda sad that my mom and grandma had to leave Friday evening. :( Oh well.
Maegz
Hi people!
For everybody from Western Canada: Yes, its true. I, Maegan from NEXT 1 am one of the 'Bean People' that did the mewing thing at Nakamun awards. Me and Patricia.
Everybody else: Funny story. At Nakamun during the awards cerimony, (I can't remember what we were up there for, the second place we got in consolation or me Patricia and Jon for Top Rookie, 4th place and 5th place) me and Patricia did this routine thing that we do forevery meet, especially with one certain quizmaster. (WCD people: I don't know his name... grey hair, glasses, room 5 at Nakamun, room 4 in St Albert, quizmaster for consolation finals? Yeah, that guy.) Once I accidentally punched Patricia in the nose... we were in a rush and it was the finals in St Albert... MEW MEW MEW MEW ME... and I accidentally punched her becuase we were trying to link arms. It was bound to happen one time or another, but that quizmaster had been at all but one of our quizzes that day and he was laughing SO HARD his face was red because he'd "seen that thing one too many times" LOL!
