Academic Decathalon is great!

Okay, so we didn't win every event, but we did well enough to get second place over all as a team, and there were 11 schools there. I got first place Frosh, and in the Quiz Bowl section we got second place.

Matthew was up to his normal stuff today at lunch. Halfway through lunch, he stands up and announces, "In view of the recent developments in the rumor mill, I shall make it easier for you all. Yes. Courtney and I are what you may call an 'item' now.
