Three Points

I can't help but obsess over this. I lost FBL to this guy from Walnut HS by THREE POINTS. AND. I got my score sheets today from the two different judges..I got one 173.5 and one (edit 3/11/10*) 153.5*...I'm like...WTS? I got a 7/10 on professional appearance..T.T QQ! I can't really say anything because I actually KNOW that judge, I actually knew both of the judges, but yeah. I don't get it. I would've won FBL. I feel so shitty for not placing first because our chapter has placed first in this event for soooo many years!

The Gold Coast Section Leadership Conference. I'll start from the beginning, yeah?

Got to Alex's house around 4:30ish with Jennifer Friday night. Alex has such a cuuute house! So Arcadian. haha. Finally left around 5? I think? Anywayss. Got to West Ranch HS and began setting up tables in the gym and it wassss kind of fun? haha. I've missed GC kids :)

Went to the hotel, practicedd our scripts and put together stuff. Then. Actually got sleep that not! Not much though, maybe only like three hours? Idk, I slept late. haha.

DAY OF. Woke up an hour late! At 5AM! btw, Holiday Inn Express is pretty niceee. hehe :) I love how Gold Coast is so loaded. Went backkk to WR and set up HQ and errthang elsee.

It rained on us ): Andd my feeet were killing me! It started raining while I was waiting to be interviewed for FBL. I was sooo nervous! But it went pretty well! I felt, at least. Sigh. Stupid 124.5 D: After, I sat in on Blane Vedros's workshop. He's cool! haha. Thenn it was caucus session that I fell asleep during..hehe.

THEN I TOOK MY FBL TEST. AIYEUH. I regret so much not studying at least a few more of those sample tests! As I actually DID see many sample test questions on the actual test! Or just like info from my study materials! Ugh.

So. AWARDS. Totally anxious and it's time for them to call FBL right. The whole time, while on stage, I'm like slowly hyperventilating. Actually, not really. I knew I was going to cry one way or the other, if I won, happy tears. If I lost, sad tears. As the called the places until only two of us were left, my eyes were already watery and my fists were clenched. When they didn't call my name for first, I just broke. I just took the plaque from Leslie and ran backstage and just broke down with another anxiety attack. And not even like a minute later, I had to go back on stage for the outgoing officer team! EVERYONE saw how I was crying and shiz. And my attack actually worsened while I was on stage - I almost had trouble standing. After we got to walk off, I just ran up the stairs to the restroom. Ugh. I calmed down though. Karen, La C, and Ms. Stalley talked to me. I think Leslie was there..? Yeah. Oh, and we got 6th in sweepstakes -______-

Dheemanth promised me dinner at state for all my hard work. I am totally holding him to his promise. hehe.

It was freaking POORING rain outside after awards! I dropped my phone in the rain ): But then I rice-d it and wow. AMAZINGG. It worked! But my laptop is now fucked up ): I don't know what happened. Because I didn't put it in a proper case, just a regular messenger bag. I made sure it was totally safe though. But when I got home and took it out, like half the cover was wet (not really wet, though) but it didn't seem like any water got in..but then, my laptop doesn't stay on for more then 10 minutes at the most. ))): I'm stuck with my brother's old, gross, laptop D: I need to buy a new one.
