I decided that it'd be a good idea to try studying for six events at a time and participating in five per invitational. Initially, it was okay, but I ended up not being able to keep up with the pace of the other teams and fell behind a bit during the winter/post winter. Fortunately, my coach (thank you Coach!) realized that this was bad and was able to convince me to drop RFTS in time (still one of the fav events tho). I was somehow able to place in almost all of my events at states so that was nice. (dp...)
Also, yay for scrambler :). From getting tiered at UT to getting consecutive firsts ever since then! (shh tamu)
