On Wednesday, I went to a FPS competition.
And no, I don’t mean FPS as in first-person shooter. I mean future problem solving. Yes, I know that I sound like a really geeky person, but FPS is actually pretty great. You get out of school for 3 days to go to competitions, which involve 2 hours of work. After that, you can go wherever you want and hang out at the hotel you’re staying at. Sweet! FPS is also super-helpful for your resume and college applications, so I had to go for it. Right? Does FPS sound fracking awesome or what?
Anyway, we attended the awards ceremony on the last day (today) and guess what we won? 2nd place. I’m talking 2ND PLACE. 2ND FREAKING PLACE, out of about a hundred teams. That means that we get to go to Cocoa Beach (yes! yes! yes!) for the statewide competition.
When I got home, I recieved even more good information. A month ago, I entered a talent search, where I and other kids my age would take the SAT early (ugh, I am so, so geeky). And I got a 1600! Can you imagine it? I’m not even going to have to take the SAT again for years, but I got a 1600! What a beautiful number.
I deserve a hug.
