So smile.

At the end of lunch, many of us waited in Freed's room, ready to abandon our afternoon classes to sit on a bus for about four or five hours. We traveled to the same hotel as last year and the same mall (Universal Mall). It was nice to

relax and almost forget about school. I suppose our shirts were constant reminders. We played a bit of ping pong, which translated into one-sided domination. At this point, I don't remember all the fine details of the trip because it's Thursday.
Blahblahblah, good experience, glad to have gone, passed around Erinma's cell phone so Jack ended up talking to about six people in one phone conversation and was told that he would fail his tennis tournament.
Walking around the mall... and walking... and walking... Got confronted by two women, one of whom was using sign language that I definitely could not understand, and the other explained that they were learning Chinese. She gave me a Chinese magazine about something. I really don't know what it was about because I didn't pay enough attention to what she was saying, and cannot really read my first language fluently. I slightly conversed in Chinese, and walked away with Anna. Oh, we were surprised.
The actual competition wasn't so bad. Hilary and I finally found a room that wasn't entirely occupied, and were the only two Chiles people in that room. Waved to You-jin. Team round was very relaxed. Somehow, Ryan and I answered more questions than William did. The ones we both confirmed proved to have a 100% correctness rate. Not bad. Really, if it were a regional we would have pwned to no end. But it wasn't.
A substantially large number of people were in each division, and schools like Middleton and Buchholz definitely showed us how challenged we were.
Chiles Regional is next.
Peace out.
