math geeks

So, Wednesday I got to skip school because of the state math competition. It was...interesting...
Well I went with Beli (anna meredith) and mckenzie. we hopped on a bus and picked up some kids from bountiful high and mueller park.. and guess who hopped on the bus too?
taylor shaw.

if you don't know who he is, doesn't matter. but he got on and was like "Oh my gosh, hi!!" to someone you probly don't know. i'm like oh great let's have a blast.
Then we got to utah state an hour later, took the test for 90 minutes, that's not the creeper part. You had to stay in the room for at least 90 minutes, but you had 2 1/2 hours to do the test. it was really hard and we hadn't learned any of it yet. but anywho, after 1  1/2 hours, me and beli left. you could go get lunch after that.
so we got our little sack lunchies and sat down. All around, i noticed the other kids who had taken the test from different schools ALL HAD MATH SHIRTS... 
ex. there was a shirt with one stick figure and then part of the stick figures legs. on the back it said "5/4 of people have trouble with fractions" there was another guy w/ a shirt that had a sq. root sign with a negative 1 under it, then a heart, then math. I heart math. Oh dear these people need a life. And then there were just plain pi signs. i thought oh crap what have i surrounded myself in...


so i ate lunch with beli when this guy with a black beard turns toward me. he's like "name someone that plays on the jazz" i'm like "uhh kirilinko, derin williams used to, and went to new jersey.. whY?" he turns to this kid and whispers "see she even knows what team he went to" he turns back to us. "now name a mathmetician" beli said someone who i don't know and he said "no living." we're like "idk, why??" and he tells us how he was talking to the kid about colleges. and how you only know what people are talking about unless you're familiar with it. and then he said we probly have no idea what basketball is and called us math nerds and said if he went to a basketball team they would know what he's talking abou.t
i interrupted and said "uh i was on the team!!" But he ignored me. loser.


then i was saying stuff about square roots and he asked me to say radical instead of square root because it sounds so much cooler. i was creeped out. and he asked me if i've ever felt like i've been punched really hard in the stomach. and i think he was a teacher because teachers were called up to get answer keys to the test and he went up!!!!!!
Creeper.

Then on the way back, the bountiful high kids started doing weird things... they were all zitty 11th grade boys. i suddenly heard "okay the alto part will be 'ttttthhhhheeeeeeyyyyyyyy'rreee happy!" "the bass part will be 'happy happy hapy happy' " "this part will be 'there are squirrels in my nose-there are-squirrels in my nose' "  "and my part will be They are friends with the chickens that are in my nose, they are friends with the chickens that are in my nose" So they started singing this song about squirrels in your nose and how they're friends with the chickens in their nose and how the squirrels are happy.......



then they sung "save the wwwhhhaallleees!!" and this song from veggie tales that they had completely memorized...


I'm traumatized.
