Chess tournament on Feb. 10

There was a chess tournament on February 10th. It was a rated tournament. I went with the team. It was a rated tournament where you play only people in your rating group. The rating groups were: 0-300, 300-400, 400-500, 500-600, 700-800, and 800 and up. I am in the group 800 and up. And at the first round my rating was 821. And out of the group of 8, I was the 5th by rating. I won two games out of five and got a fourth place trophy. My brother did not go to the tournament. Our team got first place (as it normaly happens.)

What Inspiration Can Lead To

Today, in class, we were all reading Julius Caesar. The majority were not very interested. However, one of us had the brilliant idea of talking for the rest of the day in Shakespearean language. Not all of us did. The result was very funny, for example:

A: Have you any tape, my most of dearest friends?

B: What, tape do you desire of my locker?
Well, then away!, for I posses no tape.
Inside this locker, inside its dark abyss,
You will find nothing of the sort,
As this is a cowardly locker.
It is an infinite abyss, into which
All things fall but to thier peril.
It takes in all that is bestowed upon it
Yet, greedy by its nature it will not give nothing back
When it is needed.
It is a black hole (perhaps of not Shakespearean origin)
That suck in all, and yet lets nothing out
If tape is what you truly do desire,
Go ask it of the teacher she has tape
For...

A: All right, all right, I get it!

Truly a wondrous creation of the bard.
