<p>The state competition's coming up this week, and i'm already nervous. Last year, nationals (for national history day) was just an overall amazing week. How have your past NHD experiences been? And do you have any tips for the interview, besides the obvious?</p>
<p>California’s state competition, I assume? I’ll be there as well. :P</p>
<p>My friend and I had the crazy notion that doing a documentary wouldn’t be that much work, but we found out–the very hard way–that we were wrong. This project has taken so many hours of our lives that ideally, we’re hoping to win 3rd place in our division so that we don’t have to go to Nationals (granted, we still have to make finals and place well in finals, but we set high goals).</p>
