We had an Academic team meet last night. Not that I'm bitter or anything, but we were gypped (not sure how to spell it) out of first place. You know that I would never hold a grudge or anything lol(AKA Brenda Hoyt is evil) but we really were.

The very first match was against Lima Central Catholic. Right before we started, one of them comes over and says, Jesus is watching you. What that had to do with anything was beyond me but anyway. We were tied the entire game except for one question, Which was something about wards, and what is the name for someone who takes care of someones estate, etc. The guy on our team says executor, which is right, but the judge wouldn't take it. We challanged, so one of the kids looks it up in a Thesaurus. He couldn't find it. Some Academic team member, huh? We lost that match by one question! Those darn Catholics! lol

Then, later that night, we played Shawnee. We have a huge rivalry against them because there is one kid who has some disorder that won't let him be wrong. So they always do really well. Well, we were tied with them the entire match which is huge for us because we aren't the best. There was one question that asked us to finish the quote from a Muslim prayer. It specifically asked for two words. Her answer was MUhamad is our prophet. You know, I may not be the best math student but that sounded like 4 words. We challanged and the judge just ignored us and got all cocky. We lost by one point.

JUst a side note. Remember the first match that I was talking about? Well afterwards, I went to shake the other teams hands. The very first kid I came to took my hand, KISSED IT, and then PUT HIS HAND ON MY CHEEK AND RECITED SOME POETRY!!!!! I had never met this kid, and he was just being stupid. Not that I'm bitter. I don't have issues.
