<p>im a regional finalist for the b of a scholarship in fine arts...i just got the invite today for the final competition in LA, and ii really sucks because it involves public speaking...im really scared and dont want to do it, but of course i really should because i get 500 dollars just for going...ugh has anyone ever gone to this before? they give you like a question and u have to write a statement and then discuss it with people in front of judges or something...ACK...anyone been? please?</p>
<p>I'm my school's plaque winner for math/sci, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I think I should have made it to regionals, since the liberal arts plaque winner, who isn't very accomplished in the liberal arts(just got the nomination because I happen to be better at math/sci) is moving on to regionals... Uhm. I don't really know what to tell you, but I might see you in LA!</p>
