OMG! YOu guys did awesome for your first year! WOW That's insane!!!808girl wrote:This is our first science olympiad team ever!
So whatever place we got, we were just happy that we beat Hawaii's previous rankings by 13+ places....
However, we were almost blown away by the testing events...everything was much harder than expected (except for chem lab apparently...)
Next year, we'll definitely be more prepared though....
Also, U of Wisconsin campus was amazing!
How was Nationals?

Most of us didn't even get a medal.The Eviscerator wrote:Nationals was fun, but kind of disappointing because I only got one medal.
I medaled in Protein Modeling (4th). My other events were Remote Sensing (8th), Dynamic Planet (11th), Disease Detectives (12th), and Write It Do It (47th)
Our team got 20th, which is okay I guess........

Re: How was Nationals?
Sorry if I offended anyone. I just really wanted more than one medal (like 2 or 3 would've been nice), and I worked really hard, as in I passed up on studying for AP tests and put off studying for finals and essentially slacked off in my school classes for science olympiad.Kokonilly wrote:tornado guy wrote:Most of us didn't even get a medal.The Eviscerator wrote:Nationals was fun, but kind of disappointing because I only got one medal.

Re: How was Nationals?
Erm..we did horribly. 31st, and only a first at Battery Buggy and a third at Anatomy. But next year we'll do better...
Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.
