No, but I hate it enough that I'm sure I'll get it anyway.

How sadistic do you think we are up at Ward Melville?

"It makes no sense, team-strategy-wise, to put him on Bottle Rockets, but he really hates it, so in the interest of causing maximum pain, let's have him do it."

I don't know- I'll find out in a few days though.

question: people that were in C states last year, was ornithology and fossils the same time for your team?

They were at the same time for everybody. i'm not sure why, but the ID events are almost always scheduled at the same time as each other for States.

its because the events are usually scheduled by how easy theyre graded: the faster the grading for that event goes, the later timeslot it will be. thats y hard events to grade such as protein modeling and exp design are friday. however, ID events are multiple choice, so grading goes faster. this way, they can get the results out without making us wait that much
personally, i think taking 2 id events are crazy haha ;]

but still, they can move them around to something like this:
session 1 session 2 session 3
orni team a orni team b orni team c
fossils team b fossils team c fossils team a

Just my luck.

pretty sadistic for never letting other teams go to nats

[paleonaps]

Don't be mean- we want to go just as much as you. And you didn't get 3rd, if I correctly remember- so we didn't stop you.
