No, I'm not talking about the match of American Rugby that was played yesterday. I'm talking about a real man's sport, that requires determination, intelligence, team spirit, and dance moves.* I'm talking the knowledge bowl.
Today's meet was the semi-finals, and our team was the only one from our school that managed to get their. The actual meet was at Blaine High School, which is in Blaine, Washington or Blaine, British Columbia, depending on who you ask. The school is pretty nice, but I think whoever decided the mascot should be the "borderites" should be shot.
Anyways, we arrived at the school around 9 o'clock, and had to wait a while for the written round. It was long enough for me to play a game of dots and boxes on an 8 by 8 grid and win. Our team got 38 points on the written round. That got us into room 2 (and 5th place) for the first oral round, where we scored of 12 points, which got us into room 2 (and 6th place) for the second oral round, where we scored of 12 points, which got us into room 2 (and 4th place) for the third oral round, where we scored of 12 points.
In the end we managed to snag 74 points and end up in 3rd place, which good enough for us to go to state next month. Go team!
*Yes, that's me.

Checked out the sweet moves. You ought to consider engineering a new wave of modern dance--The Alex.
Way to leap way outside the ordinary bounds of teenage socially acceptable behavior.
A true pioneer.
