.....cramming?




Posted by Omni

I'm pretty sure it's related to studying and learning.




Posted by Omni

Oh, and that's pretty cool, Xenos.




Posted by Xenos

Uhh fixed.




Posted by Roger Smith

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.

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

TWENTY ONE HOURS OF TEST!?

I'd probably kill myself. Or kill everyone else in the room, and then kill myself.



Posted by Xenos

Er, 4 PM. Sorry. I'm tired.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

... 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?




Posted by Shade

Did you not see the medals? Such glorious craftsmanship.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

couldn't see past the sweatered boobs




Posted by Xenos

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.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

That's it then, a medal? fuuuuuck that.




Posted by Xenos

w-waht about the knowledge??




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

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.




Posted by Shade

My studying consists of maybe paying attention in class and then hoping I remember enough for the tests. Notes? lol




Posted by Slade

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?




Posted by Omni

I've just about never studied for anything unless it was mandatory.




Posted by Xenos

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.




Posted by Dark

Ah, so you really were a girl.

Sorry, I'm about two years behind on the forum's in-jokes.




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

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!




Posted by cool gamer dad

Wow. That's really impressive, to be able to endure a nine-hour test, in addition to a final, etc. I bet your brain hurts after that!



Posted by Xenos

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.




Posted by Iris

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:




Posted by Xenos

Its not that big. :o




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I woulda aced that test if it was lectures. Loooooove lectures.
