Knowledge Bowl and calc

I think we're doomed to having one really sucky round each meet. This time it happened to be the first round where my scrapped together a measly 11 points. The next round was significantly better with 21 points, and then the next two were pretty even keel with 15 each; although that second fifteen was probably the most impressive fifteen points we've pulled all season long.

We played Jason's team for the last round, and managed to get 15 points; the first fifteen questions were pitiful, they got nine, we got three; but the next fiften were amazing; we turned the tables and got nine and they got three. It was just an amazing set of buzzing and guessing. In the end we cooled off and only got three more in the final fifteen and they got eight, but still, since our goal was ten, the extra five was a nice bonus.

We had our second straight day of calc study sessions; I have to say when it comes to calc teachers, Jason definitely wins out of the three we've had (Tay, Logan and Jason). He stays on task, knows what he's talking about, and does not get involved in petty power struggles with other members of the group. Basically, these two weeks will be calc heavy because I'd like to have the chapter eight test done before Tay and Crystal go to Germany.

I am in complete agreement on the Jason-gets-to-teach-from-now-on principle... well... only if he agrees. but really, Tay has too much of a power struggle thing and Logan kind of loses track of where he is sometimes... *shrug* oh well.
