Today was pretty lame. In the morning, I took Gene in my car (sorry Mary, but someone had to take him) and we thought that the bottle rockets were in Mrs. Dutter's room. Then we got there and it turns out that someone smarter than Gene had taken them, thankfully. Otherwise, my physics average would mysteriously drop 20 points, and Gene's would drop 17 (he doesn't have 20 points to lose).
The trebuchet launched the projectile 0, 2.9, and 0 meters. We ranked in the top 50% somehow, though.
The Fischler was somewhat useful in dynamic planet. Somehow, we did not place. The other Fischler was completely useless in astronomy, though. And somehow, we placed. I wasn't sleepy enough for his job to be waking me up, but he didn't do anything useful anyways. He didn't contribute to a single question (not even a part of one), though he had a laptop (with nothing on it) and I asked him at least 15 specific questions. He didn't even remember a single thing about what he "studied" last night (there were about 5 questions on those). And he still insists that he did study. Why did he get a 1st place medal for that crap? I feel like taking it and burning it. Actually, he did contribute a little. I just assumed whatever he said was wrong. Like how stars are not powered by the proton-proton chain. Oh. After he showed up 5 minutes late, I asked what Mo stands for, and he gave me Kepler's laws. Then he gave me a bunch of really random equations. Then at least 2 other random things followed. I got mad and then began making unfounded assumptions.
Mission possible. Ours sucked butt, but it completed the objective while no one else's did. But Parkview somehow beat us, and we got 2nd. As I walked away with this medal, I was putting it on, and the medal just falls off the ribbon and to the floor. Great.
How did Gene get top 3 in remote sensing? (What is remote sensing?) It's like Pat and I getting 1st in water quality that year. (What is water quality?)
Overall, we placed 3rd. No one expected a top 4 finish, especially Mrs. Dutter. She was very happy.
On the drive home, on the 55 mile stretch of GA 400, I fell asleep three times. Dang. The longest one was about half a second, but that'd be more than enough if the road was not as straight as it is. Gene was good enough to buy me a 2L Coke because he didn't want to die.
Then after returning to home, we pick up CiCi and go to the best store ever. I got a suit for $15. It doesn't look that bad, either. On the way home from that store, I dropped off Gene, but dumb grandpa called and made me go home before I could have mad sex with CiCi. I wore the suit home and waited for my mom to come home so I could tell her that I got it for $100. My mom wouldn't believe it, but my grandpa thought the idea of doing that to my mom was hilarious.
OH! Oops. Gene told CiCi that I hit a car, and I continued the story about how it was a little hit on the rear and that nothing happened, etc. Good thing one of us remembered to tell her that it was made up...

Don't fall asleep while driving... my dad did that on the friday before we left and he had an accident... we shelled out about $3500 to get the car back in shape... you'd have to start hunting in dollar stores for your suits then...

maybe falling asleep while driving has some unseen benefits...like surprises. everybody likes surpises.
