Tomorrow, I will be going to a school reading competition called 'Reading Olympics'. We have to answer a bunch of questions about certain books we've read, and I'll need all the luck I can. I won't be posting here tomorrow, because I'll have no spare time. Wish me luck, guys!

I've never heard of such a thing.

Good luck Trinity!

Good Luck! I hope you do awesome! I wish I had a Reading Olympics, it sounds cool!

*huggles*

Good luck, Trin! That sounds so cool! I wish we had one here...

Woot! Good luck Trinity! I wish we had that event at my school, the only test thing we have on reading is Woodcock, and the answers are the same every time.

I did Reading Olympics from grades 5-9...we had pretty much the same group every year, and we had so much fun! I've got a second place ribbon, three first place ribbons, and a third place ribbon (yeah...we weren't as motivated in 9th grade!). I'm a junior in college, and I still have those ribbons hung on the fireplace in my room at home (I live in a really old house). Teamwork is most important...if you've divided the books up well amongst yourselves, you'll do just fine :-). The Reading Olympics competition I was in was only county-wide...does it exist on a more national level too?

Whoot! I'm back, and happy! My team won 2nd place, with 49 points! Only one point away from first place! The same thing happened to my friend. My team tied the first two rounds, and won the third! My team rocks! And on the bus to school, the girls started singing random songs, after I'd sung Sherman the Worm. It was great, I'm definatly rejoining next year.

Congrats! Sounds like you had a lot of fun!

I wish they had that kind of stuff where I live..


But congratulations again!

AWESOME! Congrats Trin!

Hehe...that reminds me of my times at Reading Olympics, especially in middle school. We'd sing random stuff, one of my friends and I would quiz each other on Phantom of the Opera lyrics, and the boys would eat the cold, left-over pizza that was on the bus. Most of us were all in the PEN (Program for ENrichment) class, so we all got along really well. Congrats on second place...that's great for a first outing :-).

Completely unrelated, but is that the one about the Pepsi? XD

Er, anyway, congrats. =)

Glad it went so well!

Nope. It goes:
I was sittin' on my backporch, chewing on my bubble gum *Insert chewing noises*
Playing with my yo-yo, doo-up, doo-up
When along came Sherman the Worm
He was this big *hold fingers slightly apart*
And I said, "Sherman, what's up wit' you man!"
And he said, "Duh, I just ate a *insert random object here*

And it keeps going on and on, with Sherman getting bigger and bigger



That sounds almost completely like my day. What I did was:
-Stay after school to have a pizza party before the bus came at 5:30(I ate 5 slices of pizza )
-My friend and I quizzed each other on the books
-We went outside and saw baby ducks
-We started to wait in front of the school for the bus, and another friend randomly braided my hair
-Bus came and picked us up, nothing much happened, except my friends and I talked about PotO and sung some of the songs; and we waved to random people
-Tied first round, tied second round, won third round
-Friends and I get hyper before boarding the bus, and I call out stuff about it being 'Amegeddon Spring'(Armegeddon Summer was on our reading list) and how we'd burst into flames if we didn't stay on Mount *Insert area name here*, and my friends joined in
-On the bus, I eventually calmed down with Armegeddon Spring, and sang Sherman the worm at the top of my lungs; everyone else chimes in and we sing ramdom songs
-We get dropped off at school, and then go home

Yay for RO! And thanks for all the congratulations, guys.

Good job Trinity!

Second is like first, except for it being one number away.

Congrats Trin! Good Job! It sounded like fun! And I missed out on it...

Oh well! Glad you had a good time!
