> Well, My Quiz Bowl Career is Officially Over. I’m going to Miss Being a Nerd. We Went to State Two Years in a Row. We Actually had a Winning Record this Past Year. We Improved from 13^th My Junior Year to 5^th My Senior Year. Using My Logic, I’ve Decided that Potentially Makes Me the 17^th Smartest Person in the State. I’m Going to Miss Being Awesome with the Scholar’s Ballers. I’m Also Going to Miss the Geeky Calculations We Always Seemed to Figure Out on those Trips… But Like Somebody Famous Once Said- You Can Take the Nerd Out of the Quiz Bowl but You Can’t Take the Quiz Bowl Out of the Nerd.

> Dude, These are Isotopes.

> Mandatory Basketball Paragraph (I’ll Make it Short): We Played Burlingame again, last Time was a Triple Overtime Nail Biter, This Time, We Won by 19 or So. I had, to My Knowledge, My First Ever Double-Double (of which Taylor Barker Average’s One), With 19 Points and Somewhere from 14 to 16 Rebounds. Cameron had 23 Points for His Career High Night. Taylor Had 12 and Probably Another Double Double to Add to His Thousand.

> Christine’s Busy. She Will be Busy Tomorrow, and Nothing Looks Like It’s Going to Change. Wednesday is Valentines Day- We’ll See Each Other Then. But Tuesday is Two Months… and We Won’t Be able to Then (Once Again, Thanks to Basketball for Ruining Something for Me)

> I’ve Actually Done a Scholarship. Although I Still Haven’t Sent it in Yet. It’s Finished.

> I’m Gunna Go Play Pool. Bye Bye.
