<p>Im back :)</p>
<p>Anyone nominated for any end of thte year awards?</p>
<p>Me! A bunch actually, for some very odd reason.</p>
<p>Nominated for: Outstanding Scholar-Athlete, Excellence in Instrumental Music, Excellence in Art, & Kindness/Friendship Award in memory of a teacher who passed away.
Probably won’t win any of them though, I don’t think I deserve them at all.</p>
<p>I got highest average in history, algebra, science, and honors English, mathcounts state, all a’s, geo bee. Meh.</p>
<p>Woah, that’s a lot! Your school has some interesting awards! At my school, every teacher basically chooses their teachers pet to win an award. Not really any nominations, except for some community service thing I was nominated for. Not sure exactly what that entails… But whatever. The awards don’t mean too much at my school anyway.</p>
<p>Spelling bee, NJHS, stu co, 4.0 gpa honor roll, presidential award, knowledge bowl. They don’t mean much, the school just does an awards ceremony to appease parents.</p>
<p>Wow you guys start school early. All the schools in my town, probably in my state, start the tuesday after labor day. Maybe a few the week before.
I find out if I won any awards next tuesday night at the awards thing. They don’t tell you beforehand if you won or were considered or anything.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t give out awards. My high school starts on August 20th.</p>
<p>I’m watching the national spelling bee right now. I feel stupid. It’s on espn in case any of you want to check it out. The little sister of the 2009 winner is there; she’s doing pretty good so far.</p>
<p>I’m watching it, too! I love the national spelling bee. It’s fun to try to guess the words (and then feel stupid when you’re completely wrong, but whatever.)</p>
<p>I didn’t know that the National Spelling Bee was today!! Who was the 2009 winner?</p>
<p>Haha I can never watch it because then I feel bitter. Just kidding. Maybe.</p>
<p>Foodlover - I don’t know who the 2009 winner was, but the finals are still tonight! The semifinals were this morning.</p>
<p>I’m going to try and watch tonight! I wanted to watch the semifinals today, but I was in class…grrrrrrrr.</p>
<p>The winner in 2009 was Kavya Shivashankar. Her winning word was laodicean, meaning lukewarm.</p>
<p>Haha, that reminds me. This kid from my school was in the National History Bee this year.</p>
<p>And an Indian girl win. Desi pride. The word was Guetapens, which means an ambush, snare, or trap. Congrats Snighda!</p>

<p>My sister and I had a lot of fun watching/guessing the spelling!</p>
<p>Who else watched the Spelling Bee?</p>
<p>Did y’all get any words right?</p>
<p>Good luck incoming freshmen! High school…is going to be the craziest, hardest, and the most fun time of your life yet! So proud you guys are already on CC :'D</p>
<p>Darn, I didn’t know the spelling bee was on! </p>
<p>Notional history bee? I’ve never heard of it. Also I dislike history.</p>
<p>A music theory bee, now that I would like!</p>
<p>Hi Guys! I’m a '16er, too! I’m so relieved that there was a thread for us for once!</p>
<p>So what do you guys think about my 9th grade schedule:
AP Biology
Algebra 2 H
AP World History
English 1 H
AP Environmental Science
Orchestra</p>
<p>Ohohoh! Also, I enjoy Math and science competitions!
Thumbs up if you took the AMC 8 or 10!
Any suggestions?</p>
