Thursday, March 13. This is the last day before spring break here so we don't need to be absent. Flight is at 6:46 and flight num is which is xonks. on the way to austin bergstrom i finish my sol to 2024 u2 (took 3 days oops). Flight is southwest airlines and I sit with 3 other austin rbos . In the middle of the flight we get showered with free pretzel bags and for some reason got an autograph from some random southwest airlines rbo . We arrive at hotel and xook around with others on the smae flight in one room for a bit . We discuss watching eclipse but decide against it (one rbo had pictures of partial however).

Friday, March 14. I (as well as everyone else) wake up late and eat tiny breakfast in room and lunch at pamelas with austin . Then we go to phipps botanical garden and everyone else takes pictures but I couldn't bc my phone died .
At 3pm is practice at cohon university center. I do a team and tcs practice with texas ampere which consists of stqrlight, a_smart_alecks, shendrew7, anakinwang, epicbird08, and myself. We get 9 problems on team and something on tcs which I forgor . after practice is mini events . I do int bee and badge on p6 (I cant integrate) and get 17th oop . Then we do estimathon in a 5 person team (everyone else went in first slot) which probably contributed to our rank of second to last :sob: and just badge . after this is dinner at subway and we return to hotel at approx 9:30 . during the ordering process i was solving 2013 u1 bc I need geo practice for jmo . after this i ask shendrew and epicbird who admit geo main and they introduce me to spiral sim . (2013 u1 isn't really spiral sim but it looks vaguely like it so xiooi .) I return to room at 10:45 oops.

Saturday, March 15. I wake up at 8 and eat breakfast . texas goes to dh 2210 and we start rounds . First is tcs and I work on the luigi problem which is impossible and we get 20 points on this problem oops . Like last year, stqrlight carries and we get ~80 on p1 thereby placing us . next is team and I contribute nothing due to spending all time on p10 and getting it wrong oops . We still get first tho which is xonk.
Then we have lunch. I get pizza for texas ampere and line is quite long . After finally getting pizza we eat it and return to dh 2210 for indiv . on algnt I saw p1 "Dave is twice as slow as Charlie" thereby Dave is twice as fast as Charlie so answered 3/16 before clarification was added . p2-p4 is fine, idk how you do p5 it is impossible . I see p9 and realize that this is identical to a past woot potd and spend 10 min trying to remember sol . final distrib is 11110 00010 . on geo I do p1 and p2 then realize I got both wrong so I do them again. then I do p3 to p6 and silly p5 oops . Distrib 11110 10000 . Combo round is susus and I take too much time on p1 and p2 and badge on p3 for some time before seeing the symmetry . I then do p4 and p5 and look at 6-8 and realize that p8 is trivial by engineer so I do it . somehow no sillies and distrib 11111 00100 .
Then we wait for award ceremony and I get geodash up and get 94 on nine circles in two attempts . I kind of expected to place sweepstakes bc i thought 556 + p9 algnt would place . however I'm badge so I do not place in anything other than combo round . our tcs score 135 was much higher than expected which is xiooix. we get first in team and second overall where we get mogged by xor . After this we get takeout from a chinese restaurant and return to cohon for exploding kittens. I predict a victory by epicbird08 and he gets second so xonk.
