Yeah. In the beginning of the year, I didn't really want DP. Now I do.

soobsession wrote:Most of the time, the event that no one wants also happens to be a trial event. For us, our state trial was Rock my world. Boringest. Event. Ever. Disease detectives and Anatomy are actually really popular (especially Anatomy). The events no one wants are usually

1) events with less than competent people on it (i.e. Physical Science Lab)
2) events that sound boring (i.e. Fossils)
3) events that have not done well in the past and seem hopeless (i.e. Physical Science Lab... again)

sewforlife: I was already balancing 5 events that I really really really wanted. There was no way the coaches would even allow me more and DP was an event that I only had halfway wanted until I competed in it at States.
really? rock my world? :?
that was actually pretty cool =)
until competition.
then all the coolness of the event died. the test was super weird and didn't study anything on it and my partner and I were like spazzing out after because of pressure and such. :roll:
turns out
a. the test was the exact same thing as last year (lazy judges)
b. we got 5th... not that bad actually.

the events that no one wants, there will be someone to take their place. but you can't say incompetent people on an event makes it bad. solar system, for example, there's a kid who didn't study at all for states and they did poorly, while the partner studied a lot. unfortunately, solar system is highly awesome and wanted, or it's just me. :roll:

No, people like DD. I'd say BB is one that no one likes.

For our team its trajectory, remote sensing, and environmental chemistry. But I ended up getting EnviroChem at the last minute and placed 1st so I guess that turned out well :)
