   Neh...
Hey everybody, not much today, but guess what?! I finally got to row! YAY!! ok, really not that big of a deal. It wasn't actually that great. Well the initial stepping into the boat wasn't too bad. And then we practiced rowing, which also wasn't too bad. The waves were kinda big because of the wind, which was why we couldn't really go very far away from shore. It was pretty much ok until it started to RAIN!! Ya, it wasn't that much at first, you know, just a few sprinkles there a few here. But then..... BOOM! *thunder and lightning!* ....just kidding. It just started raining. Really Really Hard. So, being smart, we decided to stop and take the boat back in. Now all you people who have rowed before know that to pick the boat up, everyone gets out, reaches over the boat, grabs both ends... and lifts it above their head. Now think about it.

Water in boat.
People raise boat over head
Water falls on peoples' heads.
Not very fun... and the boat is heavy too! After all, yesterday, my arms were sore and all i did was help carry in the boat. O well, so then we all were sandy and wet and we got back onto the bus and everything was happy again. Then I went to my Quiz Bowl meeting, yes i'm such a geek. Of course everyone else there is like super smart, except for Carlen and I of course. Dan knows practically every math and science question, Jamie is just smart, Yuyin's the president and he got into harvard, and Nick knows all but is pissed because Yuyin got into Harvard and he didn't. It's actually quite funny at the meetings. First Yuyin reads questions, then dan, jamie, or usually Nick answers all of them. Jackie and Carlen sit doing nothing. Occasionally Carlen and I answer a random question or two. Then Yuyin goes to another page and Carlen begs him to let her read but he doesn't let her because he want's her to get better at answering questions but carlen says that what's the point she's not going to get any better at it, then Yuyin pauses to consider it, and then after a moments of perspection, gives carlen the questions. Of course by now my fingers are dying so i'll write again some other time...
