I'm sorry for my inactivity as of late. If you didn't already know, I'm joining my Academic Decathlon team at my high school. We ranked 7th place in the nation last year, so the coaches are really getting on our cases about spending a lot of time studying so we can do better at the end of this year.
If you don't know what Academic Decathlon is, its like a team of smart people who compete with other schools to see who can memorize facts better. There are ten subjects: Super Quiz (this year its knowledge of the Italian Renaissance), Literature (Shakespeare), Art (Renaissance), Science (Physiology), Music, Economics, Math, Speech, Interview, and Essay writing. My strong points are the last three, so I really have to get better at the scholastic portion of the tests.
If you care at all, the site for more information is
