We would have gone last year but we bombed Ecology and Fossils. Regionals on wednesday, states in a month or so, and if we make it to nationals, we don't sleep for a month.

are you from Athens? Sounds like it. haha

How do you have a regional tournament on a weekday?!

For our school, it counts as an excused absence. I would rather spend my weekday in Science O than my saturday, but that's just me.

Science olympiad is amazing but please no weekends, I'd die, it'd be like there was no weekend then again, more time to chill and watch people play frisbee..

yeah I'd think weekends are more preferable because it's less stressful and you have more time to just spend on scioly.

Hmmmm, I disagree with that, I don't feel i have more stress because it's on a weekday. If anything, It makes my day that much better because I don't have to hear certain teachers drone on about stuff they don't even know.
And I don't understand the second part? we have our competition all day, I dont feel that we have less time to spend on scioly.

But to each his own, right? And it's a good thing you're in a state with saturday competitions then


and to the thread question, I highly doubt we have a chance at nationals.

So you enjoy having work to make up from missed school days? I sure don't

yeah that's what I was saying. Missing a school day just means more work that night, right after a stressful day of scioly, but when my competition is on Saturday, then I spend all Friday (even all through my classes at school) studying scioly.
and yes good thing my competitions are Saturdays. =P

Not really it takes away from school work time..

I agree with you guys on the make up work, and I would still go to a science olympiad competition no matter what day it was, even a weekend, but on weekdays that means one less day of dress code for me, and I never really get sick so I never take any sick days, meaning these would be some of the only days I'm ever absent. Both have pros and cons anyway.

Eh I'd rather have it on a Sat. but I'm still shocked that the schools will allow everyone to miss a day, when they could just have it on a sat.

I mean missing a school day isn't that uncommon. A lot of clubs/activities take students out for activities during school days. In fact Scioly is the one of the few clubs that have activity on weekends (other than sports) in our school
