BPA Experiance

My BPA experience was very good this year. I had a better team, and we also were all more driven to succeed this year since it is our last chance to compete. The whole experience started when we arrived at the competition. The environment was the same as last year, but it was a lot more cozy then last year, more people I know, more games, and good food. We played a couple games of Tsuro first. Tsuro is a tile game in which each person has to follow their paths around the board. The winner is the person who can stay on the longest without colliding with another person or falling of the edge of the map. I won the first game, and then Jon won the second game, but everyone had lots of fun. Then Travis, Matt, Jon, and I played some Ideology. That game basically is risk but with political advice. We didn’t get to finish that one though. Then at 3:50 we got all the equipment and our papers together and headed for the elevator, went upstairs, and checked in. The woman told us like she did last year that they were about 5 minutes behind schedule. So we patiently awaited our turn. 35 minutes later, we finally got called into the room, and we presented. We seemed to have impressed both of the judges and we nailed our presentation with no problems. We did loose about a minute though on the beginning because of sum technical stuff but I wrote 250 words so just ask me about it.
