That's one thing I wonder about. Since it's Dynamic Planet, why is it the only topic in the event's rotation to be called something different? Maybe they just think Oceanography sounds better.

But this yearr... :3
Also, you're good at teaching Reach for the Stars :o

The sad thing is, I don't know what I'm the best at D:
The only thing I know is how well I do Elevated Bridge, and even then, I don't know, because I've only ever built one bridge, and that was the one that SOMEONE (xD) dropped the weight on and broke, and it was the one I used at Regionals.
But I've never gotten to.. UNLEASH MY FULL POTENTIAL in Crave the Wave and Reach for the Stars, because I kept fooling around and I didn't really get to study. So my partner did the events, while I sat there, trying to help and telling him not to say bad words 8D

Are you sure it is? I think it still said "Dynamic Planet" in the rulebook, although I don't actually have the old rulebook in front of me to check.

Just dug out my rule book from last year, and it is called "Oceanography" in the rule book, not Dynamic Planet.
