Math Bowl

Today was the Math Bowl for my area. For those who don't know, a Math Bowl is a mathematics competition. For my area, there are four divisions: geometry, algebra II, pre-calculus, and calculus. Each school sends out a team of four students (each of who are in the class for their division) for each division. These members compete in individual exams (a difficult 20-question test) and as a group in a timed competition in which speed equals points. As individuals and as a group, my team didn't do very well (relatively speaking).
Anyway, after the Math Bowl, everyone (sixteen students and three teacher chaperons) went to our local mall to eat lunch and "hang out." We got back to the school about five minutes before the final bell, so they let those of us who could (either by walking or early pick-up) go home. Of course, the sky chose that exact moment to send a deluge of scattered liquid hurtling toward the earth.
Thus, I came home [soaked], cleaned up, and posted this entry.
Wait, not yet. I forgot to mention that today my birthday gift to my mom (her birthday was the first of the month) finally came through. A charity came by while I was at school and picked up some old furniture my mom absolutely despised.
Now I'm done.
