Well, it's been a long time. Where should I start?
School has been mostly uneventful since returning from spring break, with the exception of a few events, which I'll list right now:
On The Not So Silver Screen
GNT Productions, which is mine, Kevin's, Jakrin's, Brandon's, Edy's, and some of our other friends' movie productions name has just completed its latest and greatest film, "The Interviews of Death" ["Los Entrevistas de los Muertos" for the international release].
It was an intensive 2 days of filming, plus another day to complete the script and its subsequent spanish translation, and an especially grueling 7-8 hours of editing on my part.
The movie premiered with great success in places like Lever's class, the cheerleading room, and Mendelsohn's room. Look for it online, courtesy of our good friend, Alvin! =]
AcaDeca -- "WTF Its JACK!??"
Saturday was the final competition for this year's Academic Decathlon. [Unless you made it to state..]
It started off at around 5 am when I had to personally go inside Kevin's house EARLY in the morning, practically at night, and wake him up. I hope I didn't make anyone mad.
Thirty minutes or so later at Denny's where we celebrated Gamer's birthday while making sure we had a good breakfast before the competition.
The competition itself was in UCLA! I really really like the campus, albeit its the first one I've ever been to... but I love how there are so many things to do in one spot, and you're surrounded by so many cool people.
The first thing we did after checking in-- well, AFTER Lucero had her trainwreck interview with the newscaster there, was go to the arcade!
You'd better believe Verdugo's team would be the only one in the arcade while everyone else was frantically cramming for the coming tests, but we were already prepared =]
The arcade was sooo cool, it had puuuure japanese games haha.
After the tests, we were granted a break-- and we saw something that raised our morale---
...Jack!!! lmfao, it was so random. But after a grueling day of tests it was nice to see him, in his cortez's. It really energized the team.
After that, we wandered around campus, going back to the arcade, or jamba juice or whatever, and saw this huge class of japanese high school students, presumambly on a field trip. Ehehe, there was this one reallyyyyy gorgeous girl, like the only pretty one in the group. I think her friend noticed me gawking at her, lol.
Super Quiz was the fun part! We had a fun time just waiting to go out there, constantly making fun of this one team that had a pretty dumb outfit.
When we finally got into the gym, it was really amazing to see all the people, and the camera's. There was dramatic music.. cheering, and the room was packed with signs from different schools, and banners, etc.
I was up first for the Super Quiz, and I wasn't one bit nervous! I aced the quiz pretty much, getting a pretty decent score on it [7 out of 10].
Verdugo was right behind some of the best teams for a while.....
...until Honors team came up and choked. For a while, Verdugo was holding up a bunch of ones, sometimes even NOTHING. Gamer was pretty much the only one to score anything.
Still though, I was just glad I did well...
Afterwards I met up with my parents, and the whole team took a bunch of pictures. I didn't know where to look with all the cameras everywhere... sorta felt famous ahaha. Maybe they saw my movie?
Anyways, this post was long as hell. Sorry!
