This story is about the time I somehow made it into the Geography Bee.

Now let me give you some context. I HAVE NEVER LEARNED GEOGRAPHY. My sister over here memorized all the capitals of all fifty states while I'm like "Uhh I remember Sacramento... and that's it :)"

The reason I never learned is because of the time I moved across the country!

I have lived in California most of my life and the school I went to taught Geography in Fifth grade (When you're 10 years old for you non americans) and during the summer break after Fourth grade (When you're 9) I moved to Minnesota! I hated Minnesota, but that's not the point.

Aaaanndd In Minnesota, they taught Geography In Fourth grade. And I was starting fifth grade. So that's great. 

I have a lot of stories from fifth grade cause it was a pretty fucked up year but we can talk about those later.

Anyway, the school I went to in Minnesota did things like the spelling bee and the geography bee. So one day, my teacher was like "Ok kids! We're gonna take a test to see if you qualify for the Geography Bee! It's ok if you don't pass cause it's not a final grade."

So I was like, "Ok cool. I don't know shit about Geography and I don't want to be in the stupid Bee anyway," So it worked out. All I did was guess on every question cause I didn't care.

The next day, we get the test results back.

The teacher said, "Okay so the three kids from this class who got into the Geography Bee are Henry, Cece, and Ame!" 

i wAs sO cOnFuSeD. apparently, I had gotten 100%. 1 0 0 %. AND THE TEST WAS LIKE THIRTY QUESTIONS. AND I KNEW JACK SHIT.

So now I had to do the Geography Bee. WHICH I WAS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT. I HAD ONLY GUESSED MY WAY THROUGH THE TEST, I DIDNT KNOW THIS STUFF. I WAS GONNA LOOK RETARTED.

However, We I did get to skip some classes to study for the bee so that was cool.

Anyway the day came. It was the Geography Bee. I was nervous as f u c k.

I thought I was gonna get a simple question and not know the answer and then cry myself to sleep or something because all the other kids were answering these questions with ease and I was like "Wtf I have no clue" the entire time.

So they call me up and I'm ready to humiliate myself when they ask me this: "Which place are penguins found? South America or Antartica?"

BiTcH

So obviously the answer is south america-

But the universe kept giving me easy questions like wtffffff. I ended up getting fourth place out of ten kids.

I was like... super lucky that week. It was creepy.
