D.C.!

We're in D.C.! It's a beautiful city. This morning, we were lucky to get a tour of the White House. It's fairly limited, but the rooms that are on the tour are really pretty. They have some amazing paintings. Today was the barbeque for all the spellers and their families. I've met a lot of new people! Tomorrow I have my Round One test (on the computer) at 9:30. That's the biggest part of what lets you qualify for Semifinals. It's 50 words long, but only 25 will count. I won't know my score and won't be allowed to say a word about the test until Wednesday night, after the spoken rounds. I've been studying hard, so hopefully I'll do well. Good luck to all the other spellers taking the test tomorrow! ~Anja Beth P.S. To my friends in MN- Miss you!

  1. Hey Anja Beth! wow, I don't even know how to spell BBQ the real way! haha! You'll do great! I really hope you make it to the semifinals!! You are so good! And the white house!! I bet that was awesome! Don't feel too stressed, cuz no matter how you do, what matters is that you've been working really hard and of course you'll try your best! Plus, you've still got next year. But I'm sure you'll do really good - you're so amazing!
    Bye!

  2. I was wondering if Rounds 2 and 3 this year will be entirely words that the spellers have studied, or will there also be "surprise" words from the dictionary?

    Good luck in D.C. Anja! Have fun!
