Relief poured all over me after I finished my call with the Physics teacher. The oral component didn't involve any difficult questioning. Next, I took a test and got all of the multiple choice correct. Thankful doesn't even begin to brush the surface.
The Chiles Regional was extremely relaxed, or so I thought. I finally got out of bed at about 8:00am. In the auditorium, Clara gave me her roll sheet, and it was easily finished. For some reason, June and Sarah weren't on the list, so I made scantrons form them with the ID numbers that Ms. Underwood gave me.
Settling into Mr. Gamache's Spanish/AP French room, Brianna decided to tell the entire room that she wanted to know our names. Almost everyone gave her a name, whether it was Bob, Amazing, or Watch Your Face. The test was kind of killer. We mainly groaned as we passed up our scantrons.
Later: Brianna: Oh and by the way can you believe that dude in our room who thought he could out-superhero me?
The sunny day was quickly forgotten when the cold wind bit us menacingly, waiting for the first round of teams to finish in the cafeteria. I got the Stat team stopwatch, but unknowingly, Ryan got the Algebra II team stopwatch, so we had two for a while. Clara nicely asked for one. We never actually used ours.
Team round was almost entirely dominated by "that's what she said" jokes, and an occasional "that's what he said." Ryan wrote an inappropriate quote for #4, William turned it in, and eventually Freed came and said we would "be dead" if it happened again. Past that, I was the cap'n, and we managed to get the most points in the round.
Soon, it was lunch time, and I made sure my mother met about five people who were in line behind me, including Yige, Ryan, Ryan, Jerrod, Lisa, and Joseph. Thanks to Yige's dad, we entered the line later and procured free food for being Chiles kids.
Jerrod and I realized we had about two hours to do absolutely nothing. We ended up walking around the right side of the school, and stayed at the hill until people began to come back from their off-campus-ness and ping-pong-at-Jeremy's-ness.
The awards ceremony opened with an extremely loud and blaring powerpoint with something like the Backstreet Boys. Maybe it was.
Marshall and William were at a band performance, so Jack ended up going up for Marshall, who ended up beating Eli and getting first place.
Diana pretty much dominated the Stats test.
I was indescribably surprised. "Kejing Jaiang Lawton Chiles" Heck yes. Rickards beat us, though, and at sweepstakes too.
It felt like a school day as I got back home around 4:30pm and began to do homework.
Thanks to the people like Brianna and Sarah who cheered outrageously.
