Academic Decathalon Classes

[Arlen]

So is anyone taking the academic decathalon classes next semester PLEASE? come on guys we need a team that can kick some A** and the only way to do it is to have experience come on guys don't fail me now

[Nicholi]

I thought that Mr. Bailey had to cancel the class because not enough people signed up? I have other classes which I'd rather take, otherwise I might have applied.

[Arlen]

i haven't had to change my schedule and i signed up for them but i don't know he might have.

[Kimato]

If I were you, I'd double-check with Mr. Bailey or your homeroom teacher, Arlen. The staff of our darling school has this annoying habit of not informing you if there is a problem with your schedule until you're already in the class and it isn't there, is too full, or you're not qualified to take it. Get it straightened out NOW before it's too late, because if you wait until next year your rescheduling choices will be so very limited...

My choices were Child Development (already taken), Auto Tech (no way in h3ll), or Floral Design.

Now I can make really pretty flowers for my friends.

[Arlen]

Well hey flowers are always nice I mean hey where would the world be without something to make it beautiful!!! ;D

[Whitakker]

I would take it, but it is a year-long class, and you only get one credit for that class, not two for every semester. Not to fear, though, because I will probably be on the team next year.

[Arlen]

Very nice Whit I also hope that I may count on Nicholi and Thanatos to help the team get a good base for it come on don't let me down

[Kimato]

Hey, with such an intelligent group, I would sign up for this class, and credits be hanged! It would be a most refreshing break in the long line of imbecilic classmates I must endure all day long.

However, I have already signed up for all my classes next year, and I fear I have no room for Academic Decathalon in my schedule. The sadness of this overwhelms my heart.

[Arlen]

not enough people signed up for the class so unfortunately I will have to change my schedule but I hope that the people that I listed previously will be on the team next year.

[Whitakker]

You really should join the team, Kimato. The experience is for the most part enjoyable, with the majority of the competition being Scantron tests over English, Science, History, Art...the whole nine yards. Besides that, there's the Essay Writing and the Speech and Resume, which are pretty ok. It's a really good time where you get to see how unbearably smart Berkmar High School is... We can always use another bright mind like yours!

[Argis]

Though I am in Academic bowl I do not think I would like to be in that class. From what I have seen and heard it really not that enjoyable.

[Arlen]

and your just plain crazy when you say that because the class the team and graybeard are all awesome

[Argis]

Well.. if you really want to attract new members you might want to tell them what H*ell you do, because from what i have heard and seen it seem more like a work place readyness thing (resumes, selling yourself and stuff like that)

[Whitakker]

The resumes are only a small part of the competition, Argis. Most of the competitions revolve around scantron test-taking, with the full spectrum of subjects. I think I described the competition a few posts up. Read that, and you'll get a good idea of the work involved. If you study the massive notebook that you get with the team, you shouldn't have a problem with the tests. All in all, it's a pretty ok experience. But I only do it out of respect to Graybeard.;D

[Arlen]

First off I do it because of respect for myself because I know most people look at me and are almost astonished by my intelligence level and the fact that I can change my personality depending on who I am hanging out with Secondly because I have respect for graybeard. Oh yeh what the hell we do is have fun without actually having to bust it to learn everything we don't need to know because we have the notebook. ;D
