I go to Ward Melville High School and went to Gelinas Jr. High School
The sweaty scio people went to gelinas instead of Murphy
2020 - 2021 season: 7th grade
I don't remember a lot of 7th grade it was all a fever dream
I do remember I completely bombed tryouts
Silly me not studying a single bit
oh yeah the crime busters test was among us
Disclaimer: I was so horrendous that the February Eagle Invy was my first ever competition
EVENTS: Fossils
Eagle Invitational A-team
I got put onto Fossils A-team for no apparent reason and my partner immediately made me do actual work (shocker)
Turns out only doing 1 event is really good sometimes because we actually placed decently
Don't try this at home
| ?th | Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School came in ?th place at the [[Eagle Invitational]] in 2020. |

thanks a million to my partner Judy who I couldn't have done this without

Regionals C-team
Bumped down from A team as expected
The only reason I was ever on A-team was that they were missing someone

List of Achievements:
1. lol
yeah I didn't learn from last year and still didn't prepare for tryouts.
EVENTS: Crave The Wave, Codebusters, and Road Scholar
I thought Crave the Wave was about ocean stuff but it was physics (womp womp).
The advisor comes up to me and asks "Hey we have an opening for Codebusters dyou wanna join?"
I get catfished into thinking it's computer science and say yes
After studying a bit for Code I conclude that Cryptology >>>>>>> Comp Sci
Rickards Invitational C-team

it's scio time
List of Achievements:
1. Actually prepping for tryouts
2. lol
EVENTS: Crave The Wave, Code Busters, Disease Detectives, Rocks & Minerals, and Bridge
I was sad that Fossils was out of rotation so I went for Rocks instead.
Ended up doing not a lot and relied on 3 things throughout the competitions: my partner Jane, my ESRT, and Minerobo the Rocks & Minerals Discord Bot.
Dick Smith Invitational B-team
NOT C TEAM!!!! RAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
funny name heehee

| 7th | tedtheli has received a 7th place medal in Codebusters at Dick Smith Invitational in 2021. |
R.I.P. my previous Crave partner Jason, who went onto a better place (A team)
On a happier note, I grinded Codebusters all summer and it actually worked.
Finally, screw those sweaty Sierra Vista kids. Nobody on the team was salty. Nobody at all.
LISO A-team
For some reason scio competitions and music festivals always conflict. In fact, if I had a nickel for every time a music festival conflicted with a scio competition, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
A TEAM!!!!! RAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Yeah this was just because another kid had to go to the music thing.
| 1st | Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School came in 1st place at the [[LISO]] in 2022. |
| Gold | tedtheli has received a Gold medal in Codebusters at LISO in 2022. |
| Gold | tedtheli has received a Gold medal in Disease Detectives at LISO in 2022. |
Huge props to my partners: Ryu for Disease Detectives and Eric and Joon for Codebusters.
Ryu gave me her notes and made me study a lot
I swear I obtained eye and neck problems trying to read the font size 3 notes she had.
Eric and Joon were actually good at Codebusters; no hate for the B team kids though.
1st 2 gold medals woo!
Cornell Invitational B-team
Back to B but I don't really mind.
| 5th | Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School came in 5th place at the [[Cornell Invitational]] in 2022. |
There were only 16 teams holy shiitake mushrooms
| Silver | tedtheli has received a Silver medal in Crave the Wave at Cornell Invitational in 2022. |
| 4th | tedtheli has received a 4th place medal in Codebusters at Cornell Invitational in 2022. |
| Gold | tedtheli has received a Gold medal in Rocks and Minerals at Cornell Invitational in 2022. |
I think my heart rate reached an all-time high during the Codebusters test.
Shout out to my Crave partner Kevin who knew some obscure knowledge but it helped a lot for some reason.
Shout out to my Rocks partner Jane who carried.
We got spirited on by Hola and never recovered from that blow. I'm pretty sure the entire Gelinas scio team is still scarred.
Regionals B-team
| 2nd | Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School came in 2nd place at the [[Eastern Long Island Regional]] in 2022. |
We got so scared when Gelinas B wasn't on the leaderboard. Turns out they didn't put any duplicate schools up there.
| Silver | tedtheli has received a Silver medal in Codebusters at Eastern Long Island Regional in 2022. |
| Gold | tedtheli has received a Gold medal in Rocks and Minerals at Eastern Long Island Regional in 2022. |
| Bronze | tedtheli has received a Bronze medal in Bridge at Eastern Long Island Regional in 2022. |
Gelinas Codebusters popped off that day. A, B, and C got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. Massive W.
Another surprising 1st at Rocks because as usual, it was mostly my partner Jane's work.
Bridge lol. I got assigned assistant randomly and just stood there. Later at the awards ceremony I walked up to the podium knowing full well I didn't do shiitake mushrooms. I will take the 3rd place though.
