IronNerd II

I am back in my dorm room recovering after completing the IronNerd for a second consecutive year. The event was similar to last year; although, my performance was a bit worse: I was nearly 2 minutes slower this year than last.

Now, I need to get ready for Senior Ball. What's the point of balls and proms? You get dressed up to go and eat with a roomful of people, many of whom you do not know, maybe dance and go home.
