Yeah, so?

For one thing, the HWJH Academic Team is totally going to kick butt in high school... Even if we kind of got our pretty posteriors handed to us today.
We went into Brink Jr. High naked in knowledge. We hadn't had any practices, reviews, or anything that would even qualify as training, so we basically were on our own for the whole tournament --- four teams to face, meaning four rounds of intense loser-dom.
But no.
The first round was tense... At, no pun intended, first. We went through ten questions, in which each team could buzz in to try and get it right. When we reached lightning round (where the winning-so-far team goes first, picks a category, and answers as many questions as they can cram into a minute), everything changed.
It began when the other team made us go first (suckers...), and our category was "Capital Cities."
No big, right? WRONG.
They didn't give you the state. Ohhh, no. They gave you the river it was by, or how it was founded, or whatever else involved long words and intense listening skills. As team cap-i-tan (scary story --- I was elected five minutes into the first round), I had to say either the answer or pass.
There was only ONE time when we DIDN'T say pass. Pheonix, I really owe you.
Continuing.
What reallyreallyreally got the whole HWJH team to have fun, was when one of the other teams lightning questions was something involving Lake Titicaca.
I swear, we all just about lost it.
It wasn't that we're all perverted, or just happen to be the type who laugh at anything, but we were really tense, and that was just one of those things that really made us all let it out. :D

Awesome.

Anyways, we lost - big time. But we had the most freakishly awesome fun out of any team there.
