^ Yeah its funny
It got boring after the 3rd or 4th round...
I loved how Diane Roberts and the other announcer guy tried to make it sound like some sort of sporting event, giving us the play by play:
"oHH, she's asking a lot of questions, let's see if the judges will answer."
"Ohh, you can tell by the tone of her voice and that second's hesitation that he didn't know the word."

I ahve both of you beat..I made it to state when I was in 6th grade. I was a total nerd back then. I thought I was so cool...
I was in Orchestra, Chorus, the Kids who Care club, the Hispanic Action Club, the Drama Club, the Debate Team, the Spelling Team, and gifted and talented. in middle school.
and I had no delusions about being cool.
I had no idea you were Hispanic, Obi!
In fourth grade, they were going to take the top two from my school on to the next level. The final three were me and two girls. I missed a word, the first girls missed it too, and the second girl got it right. They gave the first girl second place. WTF???I made it to state when I was in 6th grade. I was a total nerd back then. I thought I was so cool...
Oh, and math team IS cool. I was on the UIL Slide Rule team all through high school and went to state my senior year. It may have been nerdy, but from March to May I only had to go to school Mon-Thurs because Friday was travel day.
I had no idea she was gifted and talented. :p
I could never be in any clubs that met after school until I got a car in the 11th grade. We just lived too far out in the sticks, and if I didn't ride the school bus home, I didn't get home (but at least I didn't have to walk 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways to get to school like my parents did). My family only had one car and my Dad drove it to work. By the time I had transportation of my own, it was much too late for me to try out for a sports team or the band (they would have laughed me out of the county). When I was a junior in high school, I did join the Spanish club, FTA (I thought I was gonna be a teacher
I was in a spelling bee once when I was in 7th grade; I was the third to last one to the end and I don't remember the word I misspelled, just how humiliated I was because I missed it.

In 2nd grade, I was in this mini-spelling bee and won (it was just something for the lower grades).
The guy who came in second misspelled condemn. He spelled it C-O-N-D-O-M.
well there is some Cuabn in my Heinz 57 .. .somewhere.... but really the club was open to anyone who wanted to participate.. .and get out of last period
Oh and I made it to state in 5th grade.
I'm pretty sure that I was more nerdy than anyone here.
Luckily I grew out of it though and became one of the coolest people I know.
Unfortunately, you guys got caught up in Harry Potter and Star Wars and still haven't broken free.

Actually I wasn't that nerdy in high school, though I was in AP History, AP Calculus and AP Physics. I was on the Debate Team for a year. I was in the Math Club, Spanish Club, and Key Club. I was on Student Council for two years but I got kicked out. I gave someone answers on a history test (a guy who had the class the period after me) and when he got caught, he told them I was the one who gave him the answers
I was also one of the girls who came on the field and gave the football players water during timeouts for a short time.
But one cool thing was I banked a lot of money by tutoring the football coach's son in Chemistry and Algebra. I think I made about $500 a month
When we filled out our Senior Biography form for our yearbook, we had to list every thing we participated in, etc...since my friend & I jokingly put everything we could think of in ours, including some club for African American Students and ones that were for the guys. So they ended up leaving ours out completely.
I was mostly a band geek to the core and have a bunch of accolades from that....and I was in Honor Society and Spanish Club. Most (if not all) of my friends went to different schools, so I wasn't inclined to stay there any longer than I had to outside of normal school/band practice hours.
Every teacher I had hated me. I wouldn't pay attention in class (I even had a couple teachers who called me the most disruptive student they ever had
High school was fun. However, I do apologize for being a teacher's worst nightmare.
Don't you know that being a nerd is the new cool ?
Band, orchestra, latin club, science club, history club, math club, UIL number sense, UIL science, computer team, student council, national honor society, who's who, national merit scholar, that's all I remember.
I'm calling myself out -- I was (and still am) a total nerd.
I took every freakin' honors class I could from elementary school through the end of high school, save one: I was honestly embarassed that I didn't have honors Alegbra II, because I didn't think my nerd friends would take me seriously anymore. I actually whined my way into the higher track (and much more difficult) Calculus class. I was Mr. Honor Society, too: National Honor Society, English Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Math Honor Societyn (Mu Alpha Theta, as I recall). I was so nerdy that when our football games were broadcast over the radio, every time that Gary DeLaune would refer me, he specifically called me "the Honor student."
I was the last cut from the Academic Decathalon team -- an effort to further my nerdiness -- and then only because our football team made the playoffs and I couldn't "practice" consistently with the rest of the AD group. It was honestly a monsterous disappointment.
I had English Honors something or another all four years of high school, National Honors Society, Spanish Honors Society, Spanish Club Officer, Student Council all four years, and now I'm in like five different college honors societies, the Deans list and am going to go for it again this year. But speaking of spelling...I went out in fourth grade on magazine. Damn that girl who won.
In college I was Delta Mu Delta Secretary (National Business Honor Society), Alpha Chi member (over-all academic society), on the Dean's List a few times...and Accounting Club President! I only graduated laude, though ... good enough to graduate "with distinction" and get to wear the special sash thing-y at graduation and a cool little sticker on my diploma...but considering how much I partied in college, I can't imagine how I'd have done if I'd applied myself.
All of that and I still can't spell worth a damn. I {heart} Google tool bar spell-checker.
I was in the Chess club, and all we did was play Magic all lunch period. I waited in line for 6 hours to see the first Lord of the Rings. I used to play more video games in a summer then most would their entire lives. I was also a pretty disruptive kid, but would always get good grades on tests/standardized tests. The councelor hated me.
I was...but then, I now have a kick-ass job and make really good money, and can afford a good hair dresser...and make up. User has lived with me for over a year, and I still haven't let him look at my yearbooks...even though he graduated from the same school as I did, seven years later.
