I drooled.

D'aw.

Sick glasses!

And... omg... you get the good chairs? :O

Dude. Those chairs were the best!
Especially during the 5th Issue part of the competition where all you do is write out an essay.

I KNOOOW!

I've been able to get one for a day or two in some classes but for the most part its those stupid one piece plastic ones with the metal legs bolted to the bottom.

Sorta like that but more comfortable, I hate those ones ^

How long did you have to write that essay?

An hour and a haaaaaaalf.
It was killer.
Thankfully, that was another kids specialty.
My specialty was wildlife.
Go figure xD

I've written 3 hour math/science exams yet I still find 1.5 hours on a single essay exam style too much...

So what exactly was this whole thing? You worked as groups?

And wildlife means? XP

Sorry for the questions, just little lost here. XD

Each APES class from the different schools in Anne Arundle county puts together a group of reliable kids who know stuff about each section in the Evirothon competition. There were five sections.

-Wildlife - You look at pictures and have to tell the proctors that animals Complete scientific name while looking through a book/Answer hard ass questions about different wildlife issues/Do map questions (really hard to explain the map questions)
-Aquatics- You answer a whole bunch of questions about the different water issues and other really hard trivia like questions/dissect a fish and name and explain all of its inner and outer parts
-Forestry- You do logging stuff, like using different tools to determine how high a tree is with out ACTUALLY measuring it from the ground up and you determine how many logs can be made from it/identify different species of trees.
-Ground/Dirt- Oh gawd. This was the worst. Honestly. You get into a pit of dirt and answer a bunch of questions about the dirt itself/identify the different levels of dirt types/and do pH tests on each different level/answer questions about different land issues like how, where, and when placing different buildings is best for the environment.
-5th Issue- The essay part that touches down on ALL TYPES of different Enivronmental issues.

My group ended up placing specialties on each kid in my group depending on which part they are best with. I got Wildlife and some Aquatics.

It was a really, really fun competition. My school's group came in second place.

" like using different tools to determine how high a tree is with out ACTUALLY measuring it from the ground up"

I spy trig...

"You get into a pit of dirt and answer a bunch of questions about the dirt itself"

This one made me laugh... XD

Congrats on second place! My school didn't do anything even close to that cool. :C But as a school we were pretty decent at sports.

Yeah.
With my school it's the AP kids that do all the cool stuff.
Right now, actually, the AP European History kids are in Europe for two weeks.
Lucky bastards.
I didn't have the balls to take that class. xD
It's hard as hell.

Yeah see... at my school, you have college and university level courses.

Uni's are actually difficult and college are a joke. But they're still not as hard as AP classes... O_O

What parts of Europe did they get to go to?

They are going to Italy, Germany, France and... Uh... One other place.

Spain? Switzerland? =D

Still all very nice places.

Is this a private school or public with high costs? XP

Public in a redneck city actually.
We have barely ANY money.

Then i guess the Europe trip came outta the students/parents pocket then?

Yup.

Its funny how it can be "car or trip"... or even part of a years of post-secondary education.

Hmmm, all in all, you´re a QT (honestly).

Thanks? Lol.

EnviSci is beast

Indeed!
That competition was so epic.
I was rocking the Wildlife section, yo.
