*Smashes head on desk a few more times*
Note: The following paragraph has a lot of sarcasm.
Well, wasn’t that fun? I’m sure all the members of my Tournament of the Minds would agree… We did so well in our presentation of our long term problem, I’m so happy! We completely kept to that four people inside the square at all times rule, none of us forgot their lines (especially not me!) and we had very smooth transitions between scenes! I think we did really well in our long term problem, and I have absolute confidence that we will be marked rather highly for it.
Sarcasm ends.
*Runs to corner to cry a little bit more after smashing head a little more*
Our Long Term problem’s content I believe was half decent, and had we got a little more time, our presentation could have been a lot better. Throughout the time given to solve the long term problem, we were rather lazy and didn’t do much. We really only started actually working one week ago, and things weren’t completely, and fully finalised until about a few minutes before our actual performance. As a result, we weren’t able to view other people’s performances… If any other group saw our performance, I’m sure they’d be laughing at us or something because, unless they were terrible too (which I would find hard to believe), our performance was so crap compared to theirs! I could go on about it for a while, but I guess I can’t be bothered, and I’m sure you get the idea…
Our spontaneous problem went really well, personally. I wouldn’t be surprised if we were scored highly for it. Our teamwork and answers were really good, and we I would believe we met most of the marking criteria very well. Our team should get a fairly high scoring for the spontaneous problem. As for whether we advance to state finals is a different matter. The long term problem performance, and how it was rather terrible, means that I doubt we’ll get into state finals. =( However, if we do move on to state, I would be absolutely shocked! I would probably be huddling into a ball and sit in the corner! Although I really wouldn’t mind going to state. *sigh* Oh well there’s always next year. My head hurts and I’m rather tired, so I think I might finish this off now. I might add more to it some other time…
Oh, and as we were preparing for the challenge, our organising teacher said “As long as you don’t procrastinate, you’ll do fine!” … … … … … Yeah… … … No procrastinating… … …
Nice, did they read out the maths and engineering team?
Billy Bob – Hehe, No idea… We were too busy finalising our presentation…
