so today I had to get up at eight, on a saturday, and go to school, on a saturday, in order to take tests for the sport of my choice. That's right I am a Academic Decathlete, enjoy spending my free time studying and preparing for five hours of testing. We had our first official tests of the year today and we found that our team is going strong with three of the top scores in the state and good, solid scores for almost everyone. I have to say next to medieval re-enacting Decathlon is one of the best things in my life, I absolutely love it, being part of a team, showing how good I am at doing something, and competing in one of the top schools. I gotta say I feel both drained and invigorated right now. Drained as my brain has been thouroughly picked of all its knowledge and invigorated because I know I did a good job and I can't wait for the next set of tests to continue proving that I am good at something. It really is a lot more fun than a lot of people think though, we come up with all kinds of little jokes, have nerf fights in the hotels, think up ways to destroy scarborough, it's wicked fun and if we win states this year we get to go compete in Golden Grove, California!
