This past Saturday, LASA took two teams to a new competition in A&M, the DOE (Department of Energy)-sponsored Science Bowl. The format is really dumb, really formal, really bad. Buzzer races are the only things that matter. LASA was completely new at the competition. Of course we took first place. And with it, a free trip to Washington DC. Sadly, though, I shall not be going. I was booted off the top team at the last moment, to make place for a senior who definitely deserved to be on the team more than I did. As it is, I headed the B team consisting of two sophomores, a freshman, and a penguin (yes, Sergei Wang the penguin held a buzzer) to a 7th place finish, eliminated in the quarterfinals. Pretty good, in my opinion.
Of course, Science Bowl still sucks.
