I wake up at roughly 7pm after a two hour nap after school. As I check my email I come across an ominous notice... "Your Siemens Project has been registered but was not been received by ETS". I stared. I couldn't understand what had happened. The project had been sent via overnight two days before the deadline. The delivery confirmation on FedEx said that someone had even signed and confirmed delivery the day before the due date.
As I contemplated the loss of a couple hundred hours worth of work, an IM window pops up. I had been planning to ask to a girl to homecoming and this friend had been doing some "scouting" for me. Basically he asked her about guys she would say yes to. I wasn't one of them.

At this point it's still roughly 7pm, two of my dreams are destroyed, and I have about 4 hours of homework left.
I eventually worked up the motivation to get everything done by 3AM and violently lucid-dreamt until 6:30. After taking a 5 minute shower and feeling pretty depressed, I check my email. A short one line statement from Collegeboard: "Your project has been received by ETS". It wasn't an acknowledgment of a mistake or an apology, but I was ecstatic! My adamant response back that included a picture of the delivery confirmation had paid off!

I guess the important thing is that, despite almost having two things explode in my face, at least one of them wasn't Siemen(s)

While it is unfortunate about the two "explosions," you more than make up for it with the ending. Well played, good sir

After a punchline like that, you'll end up winning both the competition and the girl!

OP today is the day you should ask the girl out anyway, with humor skills like that she'll practically jump into your arms... If you somehow get rejected remember to make a blog on TL about it, a girl blog QQ blog combo.
Edit: heh I forgot to congratulate you, nice job on getting in man.

I remember taking part in this competition in high school. Regarding my project, the only the I remember was the realization that Siemens sounded like semen(s). I remember chuckling to myself for a few moments before being distracted by something.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

ahhh good luck with siemens if you're in the southeast it's apparently pretty easy to become a regional finalist (read: 3 indiv 1 team from my school made it last year. the individual national finalist from our region was among them, and the leader of the team national finalist used to go to my school until he was kicked out for hacking @_____@)

but yeah siemens is nice because they give you free stuff. not like intel sts which gives you $1000 for semis though :/

but like I got as much money from state JSHS (junior science/humanities symposium) as siemens/intel combined which was rather dumb.
