Okay, most of you probably don't care, but I have to tell everyone that I can.
I've been gone since Wednesday with my county Academic Team to the state tournament. This is my first year, and we won State in our division. It still hasn't really hit me, but we are really proud. I just wanted to share, I'm not bragging or anything.
Anyone else part of/been a part of an Academic Team?

What did you do?
are you on the chess team too!?! OMGROFFLE!
or are you a Master Debater?
haha, just messin with ya. but what exactly is involved @ one of those tournaments?
the tournament is basically, 3 question sets per round. a 5 point round, then a 10 point, and then a 15. you are on a team of 4 and you can talk with your team, if you get it wrong, you lose the amount of points you could have won. basically, it was a one man show this year. he made team Florida, which takes the top 6 players from the competition to play teams from the rest of the US. I was an alternate because I'm a sophmore. It is basically a really elaborate and more difficult version of jeopardy, but with a team.

I do science olympiad.. though I suck at it.
i'd do history , but northside (yes, biggest district and o'connor the 3rd biggest school and distrect in the state) dont have history teams... i'm going to major in history and be a historian or teacher
cool, History is my specialty. My main focus is on WW2 and such. I'm a pretty good all-around guy, that's why I made the team this year.
Jake
