i think compute this would be fun if i was allowed to work by myself...but seeing as that isn't the case, i always have to do the real work, while my partner takes it easy, (blame it on the stereotype that asians dont have to try to be smart
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
) and then at competition he/she ends up screaming at me for screwing the thing up...as if they did any work at all?
so i think i might like it if i got to work alone next year ... that is, if i can fit in time for my 4 already-planned-out events...

I have a friend who competed in Experimental Design after twenty four hours of preparation. He tied with the team that didn't show up--dead last. I'm sorry, but that's just a little sad, especially considering he had two partners, one of which is extremely intelligent and went to Nats this year. Well, he did have washers, pens, wire, and little chunks of foam thrown at him throughout the competition...but still.
Favorite event--Mission (Im)Possible. For those of you who like to add it on...

Experimental is really hard if you haven't really had any experience. It's easy to get second tiered if you make a simple error; our Experimental Team when I was in 9th grade got 1st at Nats, but earlier, placed dead last at Regionals. It turned out that one of the people had accidentally formatted it wrong (I think he put switched the title and something else, or something like that) and ended up getting ranked behind everyone else. I did ED after a day's notice at Invitationals, and my partners didn't have any practice either. We placed dead last as well (they actually said we got first, but they had mixed us up with the other team from our school and one of the kids wouldn't give his medal up....but that's another). So without any time to prepare, it can be very easy to perform dreadfully in Experiemental, even it's just one person who was inexperienced.

Meteorology is hands down my favorite event. The two years I've done it it has been my schools best place at state. I spend at least an hour on it every week and in scioly season I study it every day. My next favorite event is division B Mission Possible witch I competed in at scioly summer camp and we came in 1st. Can't wait till competition season begins.
