Duke TIP, Spelling Bees, and Geography Bees-Z

I need you generous people to wish me some luck.

But before I tell you all about it, I would like to announce something(I am NOT bragging. Just simply announcing.).

I won our school spelling bee. I am actually very shocked because I was prepared to lose that thing. But if I must say, it was easier than the class spelling bee.

But I am sad to say that I lost the geography bee. It's where you answer stuff about geography and that type of stuff. I placed like seventh, eighth, or ninth in that, I think. Those questions were really hard.

I had won the geography bee along with Sydney for my team. There are two teams for each grade. Sixth, seventh, and eighth. Twelve people went to the school geography bee and the top six advance to the county bee. The question that got me out was "What country is the Cloth Hall in Krakow located in?". Turns out it was Poland instead of Spain. Sydney didn't make it either. She also had a weird question. The kid that got first used to read atlases. I'm seriously not kidding.

Now the moment you've all patiently been waiting for. Drum role please...

I have been invited to take a test...I guess that was a bit anticlimatic. Oops.

It's called Duke TIP. You either get to go because you scored above a certain point on the EOG's or a teacher recommendation.

...I got a teacher recommendation.

You get to choose if you want to take either the ACT or SAT. I have decided to take the SAT. I'm doing this tomorrow morning which I'm a bit excited about. IT doesn't actually do anything for you but it's more of an accomplishment. However, if you score really good on it, in the summer, you get to go to some camp or something like that.

Anways, I need all you wonderful, phenomenal, terrific, absolutely fantabulicious(pronunciation-fan-tab-you-lish-us. It is the word I have invented. It WILL be a word someday.), supercalifragilisticexpialidocious people to wish me luck. Thank you. =)

Remember to support D.A.B.S.

Until next time my fellow robots, with lots of smiley faces, goodbye.
