Yeah. thats why the only thing im sure about is fossils/herpetology, cause every team has a conflict with those two. Which is pretty stupid, since im sure its common for both events to be done by the same person.
2009 events:
Fossils: 1st @ reg. 3rd @ states (stupid dinosaurs...) 5th @ nats.
Dynamic: 1st @ reg. 19thish @ states, 18th @ nats
Herpetology (NOT the study of herpes): NA
Enviro Chem: 39th @ states =(
Cell Bio: 9th @ reg. 18th @ nats
Remote: 6th @ states 3rd @ Nats
Ecology: 5th @ Nats

wow thats awful. I'd hate to worry about whether or not i'd be able to do my top events. Last year I was lucky that Reach for the Stars, Amphibians and Meteorology were all at different times. I dont know if i'm going to be that lucky this year. I would hate to wait all the way until March to find out if I can do all of those events or not.

yeah that why i hae to give my building events off to other people to test (its kinda stinks but im ok with it) but like i really want to know now if picture this and fossils are going to conflic cus that would ruin my whole world and would totally make a ton of my work useless i mean i can salvage and try to give all the stuff i did to another person but like how am i going to pass of all all that tax stuff i have in my head 2 days before regionals? yeah is sucks here
SO stressed!

I do mostly constructions, so it's sign up for a time.

Still doesn't make things any less hectic though.

for me building events are all on friday, so the conflicts are all on the study events, so its possible to do 7 or 8 events easily timewise

I wish we had building events on a different day.. that way I wouldnt have to worry about sprinting across campus to get to my building events during the same block as a study event. Much less stress on me. My coach thought that me doing 5 events last year was going to be very stressful. This year i'm trying 10 :lol:

i wouldn't suggest doing more than 5 or 6 events, trying to do to many does get really stressful, my brother tried to do 8 or 9 one year, and it didn't work out to well, some of the events he ended up bombing
