Update: Destination ImagiNation

Okay so Saturday Hannah, Michelle, and I went to the Regional tournament for Destination ImagiNation. We honestly had a lot of fun. We did our instant challenge at 8:45 and then our main challenge at 10:00. After that, all three of us were hungry. So, we walked to Subway. THAT was a lot of fun. We sat there at a stop light waiting for the crossing sign to change. After about 10 minutes, we realized we pressed the wrong button :3 We kinda got screwed on our sandwiches too. But, oh well. It was still fun.

So, after we finished eating, we went back and took a nap in the hallway. Then Mr. Mowery comes to get us. He takes us into a room and was like "How do you guys think you did?" So we answered alright because that's what we thought. He pauses then says "Well, in reality, you didn't do well at all. In fact, you didn't meet the minimum points to go to State. You'll still get your medals though." Then the girl that was with Mowery was all "Yeah we don't want your school to have to spend the money to send you to Denver just to have you guys embarass yourselves."

Honest to God I almost turned to her face and said "Okay honey, listen up. We wouldn't 'embarass' ourselves in front of the 'pros'. We places 4th last year at State, alright?! We were one place away from going to Globals. Kthanks(:" However, I did not. I really wanted to. But I held my tongue.

So basically, we got screwed out of our points. In one part of the scoring they gave us an 84 our of 240. In another they gave us 2.5 out of 30! The appraisers screwed us up the arse and frankly, I'm pissed about it. The best part, was them giving us the 1st place medals. "Oh yeah you can't go to State but we'll give you a 1st place medal anyways." The only reason we got them was because we were the only team in our challenge. I wanted to throw it back in their face and be like "Oh sorry. You basically said I didn't desreve this."

I'm just beyond mad at this. I know we we're as prepared as we should have been but who cares? We still did GOOD. And ya'll made us feel like sh!t. So, thank you. Peace(:
