Quizzing!!! - bronze round

After having a nerveracking participation round experience, I never wanted to have to be in a tiebraker again. Three is just a few to many...
We went on to bronze round where we did okay. We had a bunch of questions that we got right (including one that Rachel made the answer up on the spot) but got some wrong. One of the questions we got wrong was a Bible Summary, that I had everything right on, except the date. When I buzzed into this question, I was thinking, I have to say this really fast, because while I was sure I could get it in the time by having it perfect and speaking quickly, I knew that if I hesitiated, I might not be able to finish. So I stood up and said the answer (the author, theme, date, and summary of Nehimiah). While I was still answering, the timekeeper called time, but appearantly, it had been decided that if someone was answering a Bible Summary, as long as they were still going, time was extended. I think that if I had known this, I might have changed the date, but at the time I was still freeking out. Another question that was in this round was from Rose's lesson and asked what the purpose of, what's God's view of, and what's our response to the government. I don't blame her at all for messing up on this question, because it was so freaking long! The last question that I remember that we got wrong was a list of Shaney's. She thought, our team thought, and even our coach thought that she said everything correctly, but appearantly, instead of saying the five ways God judges, she said one of the twice. In this round we missed a few paddle questions because of lack of studying, but we still managed to go on... in last place...
Why we had to move on through the first two rounds as the last team to move on, I don't know... but for me, it made me happy with however we would do.
