.....cramming?
I'm pretty sure it's related to studying and learning.
Oh, and that's pretty cool, Xenos.
Uhh fixed.
Oh wow, for a second I thought I missed the word 'academic.' I know I can be airheaded sometimes but holy **** I was worried there for a moment.
But yeah, congrats Xenos.
you can win medals for studying? Man, I can only imagine what all the white kids were thinking "ugh, of course an asian wins." congrats, buddy.
nice sweater.
Studying competition? Oh man I would suuuuuck that up. Good job on winning those metals. :)
You basically get three three inch binders, absorb all information, and take a test from 7 AM to 4 AM, and a final exam where you have to answer questions in front an entire audience.
funnn
that's something I would totally lose at
BUT ****ING AWESOME JOB AT KICKING *** XENOS
Er, 4 PM. Sorry. I'm tired.
... why on earth would anyone do that to themselves. I don't get it. You won some money or some sort of scholarship, right? Something of value to make it somewhat worth the effort?
Did you not see the medals? Such glorious craftsmanship.
couldn't see past the sweatered boobs
I'm only one of two Asian girls in my class that have D/C-ized breasts. :(
And no, I didn't get any money.
That's it then, a medal? fuuuuuck that.
w-waht about the knowledge??
Haha, no. I didn't study when I had to, definitely would never study on my own accord. Then again, reading notes was never how I absorbed information anyways.
My studying consists of maybe paying attention in class and then hoping I remember enough for the tests. Notes? lol
That probably looks good to some prestigious academy somewhere, right? ...That's what my parents always told me about Knowledge Bowl.
Nice job. What kind of stuff did you have to study?
I've just about never studied for anything unless it was mandatory.
Economics, Math, Science, Art History, Writing, Speech, Impromptu, Interview, Essaying, History, and Music. Usually there is a theme that each year abides to, and this year it happened to be the Civil War.
Ah, so you really were a girl.
Sorry, I'm about two years behind on the forum's in-jokes.
Oh wow. That's something I may have done in grade school, but not really getting anything out of it? I don't think I'm that dedicated anymore. Unless I stopped playing vidya. Congrats!
I almost did it. If only to compete with Xenos. And lose horribly.
Congratulations. :3
Intense. Congrats.
i won thrid at a wrestling tourney at the 160 weight class
i weigh 144 pounds
congrats on knowing civil war stuff, i have to write a paper on grant soon.
lol id fail right out of that competition it's not even funny
I didn't do nearly as well as my boyfriend though. The guy got twice the amount of medals that I did. He's better at test taking than me because he has the ability to be more ... zen.
Congratulations, Xenos. You bring us non-Asians to shame.
And it's about time you actually got awarded for all your studying. I just hope your awards don't get engulfed by that chest. :cool:
Its not that big. :o
I woulda aced that test if it was lectures. Loooooove lectures.
