U.I.L. and the Cancer walk

4:30 in the fucking morning really? it should be illegal to make kids get up so early. Yesterday we had the regional U.I.L contest and i had to get up at 4:30am. yes that right 4:30 Ugh i was so tired. Now being a sophomore of course i had to sit with somebody so i didn't sleep on the way up there. I sat with Jake though and he was really nice. We science teamers have to stick together. He offered to let me sit by the window and use his pillow so i could get some sleep on the way up there. Then he offered to put my purse on his stuff so it wouldn't be on the nasty floor. and talked and joked with me on the way up there noticing my obvious boredom. He was really sweet despite his inner hate for me since I'm top of the class and he is second. and the boys in my grade are very competitive and annoyed by my lack of interest in their trivial competitions.
The ironic thing about my being on the science team is i hate science. I hate all the boring rules and process and all the bizarre theories. I hate hearing this and this is true b/c this whack job scientist says so but has no proof. Yet I'm intrigued by the stars and the way two things can mix and be something completely different. I hated biology with all its crazy details that never seem to stick but find myself wondering how it all works. Chemistry bores me out of my mind and surprises me with its little fact and experiments. This crazy mix of feeling toward science and my teachers request led to my joining the science team. Ah well.
As for the competition it was a total fail for me *sigh* There were so many question about plants and i know nothing about plants. and out of the 20 physics questions i answered 1. It was a really hard test. My genius bother bobby made 2nd in physics with a 34 while the 1st place physics had a 66 that's like unheard of this kid must of been some kinda genius. *sigh again*
I was there from 7am until4 pm and i had one event that lasted about an hour and a half the rest of the time was spent reading manga. I read two skip beats and one Ruroni Kenshin. I'm almost done with Ruroni Kenshin and i must say its amazing i absolutely love the series and would definitely suggest this one as well.
Once we got home at like 6:30pm i went home long enough to grab some tennis shoes and water and went straight to the cancer walk which goes from 6pm to 6am and planned to stay the whole night. Me, Kayla and Steven walked until 8 at which point we worked the concession stand for stuCo for 3 hours talk about boring. but i got free food. Steven had done wondered off my then (he's not really in StuCo) They had Randi speak and the ceremony was really beautiful.then more walking. And then the beauty pageant in which the guys dressed like girls. One of these guys was my older brother whose girlfriend had to help arrange his temporary boobs(made out of balloons) The guys had to walk around in their dresses and raised money for the cancer society. Another one of the guys who dressed up was Jake same guy as earlier. Some of these guys got a little to into. And Bobby's girlfriend got mad b/c Curtis grabbed his boobs. It was really funny I'll post pics as soon as i get copies(my camera was dead) Bobby just carried a bucket for the money but Jake had people putting money in his bra and one guy had some in his thigh high stocks. It was a rather disturbing sight the winner raised $957 and got a pink tiara. About midnight we got bad weather warnings so we packed up tents and tables and began some cleanup(also working for NHS) at about 1:30 hardly anybody remained and our NHS sponsor told us to go home so we left i crashed at about 2 am.I watched the sun rise set and almost rise again. And after such a long day my mom calls and wakes me up at 7am so today will be another long day.
Plan for the day: Going out to my mom's place. Gonna play games and hang out and have family time. Then spending the night there and returning some time tomorrow. Fun.Fun.
