Updates and Intensification

I don't know about the rest of you on the team, but I am just starting to get pumped up about AcDc this year. Sure the summer stuff was fun, but none of that was serious. At the beginning of the school year we didn't do that much and most people still didn't have their guides. Then we started tackling the SuperQuiz at practice and soon the guides came in. Then just last week we took that first practice test. My friends, as John McCain would say it- my friends, the season has now really begun.

I would like to say that in all honesty both Mr. Powell and I, (as well as Elliott and other past decathletes I'm sure) are all extremely impressed with those first scores. For a first practice test, 300 (the lowest score we had) is not a low score, especially for a SuperQuiz test which is out of 800 instead of 1000 since the other 200 points are distributed in Oral Superquiz. And there were lots of 500's and above! If you got 500 or above you could possibly get 700 or more total on the SQ, which is definitely a competitive score for a medal. Great job team! Now we just have to do as well on all the other topics as we did on the SQ. Next comes Language and Literature.

This morning I have updated the blog as well as The Captains' profile on Blogger and now I plan on working on the website as well. I will see all of you in just about 12 hours, I hope, when I believe some of us will be giving impromptu speeches. Keep up the good work and remember- only four months 'til state!

The School Year Begins!

Our first practice is this Monday. Think of it! The first practice of the year! How crazy is that?

The basic plan has been we have practice Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week for an hour right after school in Mr. Powell's room. See you there!

Third and Final Meeting of the Summer

It will be after the 16th of August! Not on the 16th of August, and not after school starts. I think the start of school would call for a party to really kick off the season. But that's in the future! First- the future of the last summer meeting.

Saturday, the Seventh of June, 5:00, 3818 Fairview Ave.

That's the information for the first meeting. Be there!

Setting the First Meeting Date

I actually think I'm leaving on the 8th of June, so we really need to set the date for the first meeting. And if people can't work it into they're busy first week of summer vacation, too bad for them.

BAH!

kk, hi other peoples! if you see this wave plz

Blasphemy!

Of course people will look at this- especially if you link it to the Google pages. It may very well amuse people and improve morale.

Wait a minut...

First Post

Elliott made a whole bunch of Google Pages and Peter went over them.
