At NY States last year the hot dog guy set the fire alarm off in the middle of the day and it screwed up all the time slots and everyone had to wait outside in the freezing cold for a while. Not gonna lie, I was kinda nervous they were gonna cancell states and I gaurentee alot of people were googling answers to the tests.

Oh my god I remember that. It happened while I was doing Road scholar and my partner stepped in a puddle outside when that happened so they were uncomfortable the entire day.

How about starting our Science Olympiad team in 2015 with only 2 months to prepare (a little late), yet taking 1st in Air Trajectory. Next year, we're tiered because the team forgot their ping pong ball :( Yet here we are 3 years later taking 5th Place in State :) Just goes to show anything is possible!!

Getting second place in the A division. Then, you get a text from your parents: "I think you need a bit of physical exercise after going through a day sitting down doing projects. Why don't you run home?" (general gist: I'm not picking you up"). I run 6.2 miles home. By the time I get there, I'm super hyped up and jump right into a coding competition. In the coding competition, I get 3/4 right and beat up (read: dominated) about 2458 other contestants, including some from my university. 8-) Take that, university people, get beaten by an eighth grader.

Then it was very lucky you chose the tub and didn't sleep in the "extra" empty room we gave to you 5 boys because you were having too much gosh darn fun!! (Or was that just my imagination, CatGod? :D :) ;) )

Remembering that I never got my charts, graphs, and diagrams back from regionals and I'm are about to leave for the bus to state in 15 mins :shock: so I sprint to the printer and print charts, graphs, and diagrams just in the nick of time. *At the awards ceremony* Gets first for Thermo and I realize that I almost lost us 10 easy points and a medal. :D Whoops. :|

When you bring four competition dedicated rubber motors for Heli...then three of them snap and you need 2 to power your Chinook. I have never been more panicked in my life.

Oh I see criticizing how majestic the tub was. You'll see some pictures tomorrow and maybe you'll do the same next year for more luck.
