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!
