I was very underprepared for the spelling bee. Cramming spelling lists the night before, I had a feeling that I was going to lose. I had procrastinated and now was mad at myself. I printed the vocabulary lists from SpellIt and was learning them very quickly in the car ride.(Or trying to, anyway). And you know what? It was 100% accurate. But I hadn't done as bad as I thought I would. I honestly didn't want to go to the National Spelling Bee because I hadn't had enough knowledge to compete in the national level. So, we went to Madison for the state spelling bee. I was very nervous!!
