Forensics Prep

Forensics is one of the few things I enjoy about my high school experience. For those who don't know, I'll tell you that for five years I was homeschooled. It was a great cyber program where I could work at my own pace (aka work at night and not wake up at the crack of dawn... unlike now when I am up BEFORE the sun). Last year, for my junior year, I enrolled at Blacklick Valley High School. It's not bad. I would never call it fun. But it's not terrible. But, back to my point, I was homeschooled and many people thought that would mess with my social skills.

Obviously those people were never homeschooled or didn't know many others who were homeschooled.

I brought home a second place at the Forensics meet last Thursday, so obviously my social/speaking abilities are just fine if not better than some people. In fact, I've never been in anything other than honors english classes.

Alright, now that I've blown my own horn, let's get to the point.

Forensics.

I mean Speech Forensics, not Science Forensics, just so you know. I had to explain the different to my mom and others several different times, so don't feel bad if you didn't know there were two types of Forensics. Why they have the same name, I have no idea. It's anyones guess, I suppose.

Now, there is a lot of time, work, and effort that go into Forensics. First, we have to dress up. I often feel like I'm going to congress or some big cooperate meeting because I'm decked out in a suit and heels; the works. I even put my hair up in a very neat bun (opposite of the usual style I have my hair when it's in a casual bun: which is lazy and sloppy LOL)

There is also the day-before meeting.

Tomorrow I have a Forensics meet, so today, as per usual, the Forensics team met up and went over the major issues... that being where we were going to eat lunch, of course!

We had a few choices to select from. Park N Eat, McDonalds, Ryans, Hoss's, Long John Silvers and a few others were on the list. I didn't really care, though I chimed in that I'm not a big seafood fan so... we all decided to discard the possibility of John's.

We landed on Hoss's.

So, here's the lesson for the day. If you join Forensics you not only get the opportunity to earn ribbons but you can also go to Hoss's and get Steak!

Until next time,
