A Day in the Life

I don't know if Quiz Bowl was ever that fun or if there really is something different about it this year. Being on the varsity A team probably makes the biggest difference. On the B team we got away with everything...we could enjoy doing well without any pressure, and not mind much when we lost. This year, though, every time: "Well, now our record's 42 and 4...that's still a pretty good seeding for Sectionals..."

I can never decide whether I'm an optimist or a pessimist. As for seeing the proverbial glass half empty or half full, everyone has been talking about how nice it feels to have a semester of junior year done with, but all I can think is that we have a full semester left to go. Plus, now that finals are over, it's going to be back to the ol' routine, without even the usual respite of Casmir Pulaski day to break up the drudgery. Now I actually have to start working on my word paper.

I don't really know how this blogging thing works...I just decided to give myself a place to rant. I hope I'm doing it right. Maybe there is no "right" way, though. I'll have to see how it goes.
