Guess What!

Okay, this is about that fine arts meet last Saturday.
We finally won our first game!
(Actually, it was technically the second game we had won, but that other one we won by forfeit. Cause the other team didn't show up. So yeah...no. This was our real triumph.)

It was our very first game of the day, and we dominated. Between me and another literature geek, we DID IT. (the other two kids on the team answered a couple of questions and really did well for us in the freakishly hard written round. But in the oral, it was all LG (literature geek) and me.)

After that, we proceeded to lose the other two games in our round robin and our first game in the single elimination bracket, in other words, our ONLY game in the single elimination bracket.
But hey. The team we beat ended up as the 4th seeded team, and the other two teams we played ended up 1st seeded and 2nd seeded. Since we were 7th (of...yes, that's right, 7), we had to go up against that 2nd seeded team...again. I don't remember which time we did better. It didn't really matter, cause we felt like total winners anyway. It was GREAT.

I mean, how can you not feel like winners after (a) getting up to be at school at 7:30 am, (b) realizing that because the bus barn is locked you have to smush together in a teacher's car and you also have to wait out in the cold and wind for said teacher, (c) you win your first game of the season, (d) you eat at Steak & Shake instead of delivery pizza, and (e) you laugh way too much?

OH yeah.
