Me: 133</p>
<p>barely made the cutoff. 126.5</p>
<p>has anyone recieved any information about travel arrangements, plans, etc? are they going to contact our school, or do we have to do that ourselves?</p>
<p>no, ihaven’t. I’m a little worried about the pace of this information.</p>
<p>scraped in: 127</p>
<p>just got an email today, saying she’d be working on our travel arrangements.</p>
<p>Well, that was a fun time browsing the 9-odd pages of this crap… you guys are way too serious. Virginia’s nice this time of year. The finalists are still hanging out here, plotting ways to beat the Chinese. We thought of writing “Zhong Guo” on a clam shell and then smashing it onto a bench top to begin the dissection. The noise alone would make a few high-strung competitors burst into tears. Hmm… Steven just said that if we don’t beat the Chinese, this statement is going to come back and bite us in the ass. We finally did identify all 18 pairs of biramous crayfish appendages. </p>
<p>Hello to Ono, Pea, Scorcher, Perla, and our dear departed Biomaster. We enjoyed reading it all. Should we tell the story of Scorcher’s foot, the blood, and the staph infection? Nobody got laid this year at USABO, I think. I might be wrong.</p>
