This picture has to be in there because these are the people I've devoted my life to for the past 7 months. And you know how we bonded? We STUDIED together. Three cheers to Academic Decathlon -- if there was ever any doubt, it is gone now. I AM a dork. We did get cool lettermans though. Okay, starting from the left botton. Cody ( the only person who, in my opinion, is allowed to have a rolly backpack without deserving death), Elaine (the only other girl), Afshin ( the Junior), John (even sitting down he's posing), Mr. Van Loooooooo (ya gotta love this guy, it's impossible not to). Top row: Miss Newbill (the other coach, and way to cool to be on a dorky team like this, but we like her), Eric S. (who I've known for almost 7 years now and who is really cool to have as a friend), me, Eric J. (also very cool, not to mention the smartest person I've ever known), and Jesus. Jesus is always in his own little world, but that's fine because he busted out for State and made us all proud. OK, think I've written enough? This is just my little tribute to the event that not only stole my senior year, but had all my friends chanting "Death to Acadec" on a regual basis.
