This is an abbreviated version of my day:
My dad woke me up at about 7:19am because he said, we have to pick ___ up! I was ready to go at around 7:45am, but we were supposed to wait for ___ to come to our house, and my mom called ___'s mom and she didn't come, so my dad went ahead and took me to CHS.
At CHS, I loaded the big thing of Nestle waterbottles and carried them all the way to the 900 building. Thankfully, Mr. F was there and he showed me the way to Mrs. B's office where I laid them down. In that room was a PILE of food and to the side were the trophies, PARtially unwRAPped. He told me to come out quickly before I'd even gone inside.
Next, someone talked to him on the walkie-talkie and I had to take the OMK (outside master key) to open the office doors for the random Lincoln/Cobb adults. The correct key had "OMK" inscribed on it. Then, I ran to the cafeteria to give them back.
By then, it'd gotten really boring because I was there too early and there wasn't much to do. So, I stood near the front of the school for a while. Brianna was there, and at some point, Jack showed up in his black sweater because he hates his pink shirt. FINALLY, William came, too. David came next. By then, we were getting a little worried because, yet again, the two people missing were Diana and Ryan... But Diana came and went to put her donation food in Mrs. B's room. M walked around a bit randomly and away from the other DMS kids.
We filed into the auditorium where we sat, got out scantrons and pencils, and left at the correct time. Into the cafeteria we went, off to the team round. Our team... got about 20 points... CHS team 1 did a bit better.
Then, we went to the Latin room for Individual. Aftert the test, I told Ryan to grade it because 1) he was standing near me and 2) he does mental math the quickest. He told Diana to read off the correct answers that I'd written on the back of my packet. William, Jack, and I quickly ran out because we "didn't want to see" stuff.... As we arrived about 20 feet from the building at ground level, I heard Diana scream: JIANG1 KE3 JING1!!!! I said, "Oh no..." and we walked over to Diana and Ryan as they came down the stairs.
DIANA: "You got a 98!!!!"
ME: "REALLY????"
RYAN: "Yeah."
ME: "98????"
RYAN: -nod-
I don't think I actually got a 98, though, but it was something like that except a bit lower.
A few minutes later, William said, "When you do well, you're not supposed to beat me!" LOL
Jack said he got a 30...
Ryan said he got a 64 but really got a 63.
I don't remember what Diana got.
William said he got... was it 89? I don't remember.
It was finally time for lunch. My stomach had already started feeling a bit empty before Individual. The time seemed to have gone by so quickly because it was already around 1:00pm. We payed $3 for a meal (pizza, desert, chips, drink) and ate it near the tables outside the cafeteria. For the next hour or so, we walked around arbitrarily. Ryan finally came back from the restaurant where he went with his parents and sister, and I started to stand on his shadow because Jack moves around too much and Diana's shadow's obviously too small to even find. Then, Jack wouldn't give back Ryan's football. He hugged it for a very long time. At that time, a random Rickards person ran by with the pink panther with Clara and Kavita running after him. Diana and I eventually went towards the auditorium. When we finally arrived, David appeared again. Poor William had to go right after Invidual to band, so we didn't see him again for the rest of the weekend. (I am assuming that we aren't seeing him on Sunday. That would be weird.)
At the awards ceremony, there was some interesting music with the PPT presentation that Mr. G made. Accidentally, the Geometry Invidual slide was placed before the Algebra I information, so I already knew that my cousin had placed. For Algebra II, Diana was in shock for much of the time because she placed!!!!! The order went as follows: A really nice Rickards girl, two people who were probably from Rickards, ME, William (Jack went up for him), Ryan and Ellen(I think) got 7th and 8th, Diana, and someone got 10th. When we came back down, Diana, William and Ryan went up for team and got 2nd place. My team got an Honorable Mention for getting 5th (we tied with another school though :). Brianna was really, really excited because she'd hoped that'd happen when we were failing the team round.
After the awards were over, I saw the Lincoln people put their trophies in a triangular shape with the largest trophies in the middle. They were lined up at the edge of the stage and they all stood behind them to take their picture. I thought that was pretty cool. Mr. F gave a little speech on how he was happier with how we did. (CHS- 2nd place sweepstakes after Lincoln, and awesomely, in front of Rickards!) We went outside to the left side of the auditorium if you look at it from the main entrance, stood on the ramp, and had our group picture taken by Mr. F.
We didn't get to see the real list of placements like usual, but hopefully we'll see it on Monday.
When I got home, I realized how much homework I had left. Aaaaahhhhhhhhh....X.X
