A Busy Weekend

This weekend has been sooo hectic. Yesterday was our Science Olympiad Regional Competition, and we got (drum roll, please) 1st place!!!! It was an exhausting day, but fun. Not only did the high school team get first, but the middle school got 2nd place. That means that both teams are going to the State competition at the MSU campus. Seeing that we didn't get to go last year, it'll be even more awesome this year. For my individual placings I got 1st for Environment Chemistry (a test about soil, basically), 1st in Ecology, 2nd in Anatomy, and 3rd in Picture This (pictionary with science words). The Anatomy test was so easy. It was only 4 questions long and took about 10-15 minutes to complete. We didn't even have to use the cheat sheet that I spent many hours after school on Friday finishing. I kind of wish that it was harder... but not that much. After the event, most of both teams went out to eat at Fuddrucker's, and we basically had this back room all to ourselves. It was a good day. Today, not only did I have piano lessons, but also this Optimist Club Speech Contest that I had been chosen to compete in for English. I thought that it began at 3, but then I read the sheet again, and it recommended for us to be there at 1:30 because it started at 2. By the time I realized that, it was already 1:45. So, we had to rush around getting everything ready in a few minutes. Luckily, it was only a few minutes away, so we weren't late. When it came to my turn, I think I did okay; I messed up a few times, but other than that, it was okay. Unfortunately, I didn't win. In fact, when I went up there to get this paper thanking me for my participation, the person who was supposed to comment on my speech said that I had some interesting points, but he couldn't remember them. So... my speech, apparently, was so unique that he couldn't remember it. And that's supposed to make me feel better? At least I still get the extra credit for coming and spending half my afternoon there. In consolation, my parents took me to get ice cream, which was really good. All this activities have made me so exhausted, and I still have homework to finish!
