The nerd conventions
of my life.
In Jr. High Jenna and I had to compete in the history fair.
Theme: Turning Points in History
Our Topic: Rock'n'Roll
Who knew? We won the regional history fair.
Then went on to the state history fair.
Won that too.
Then off to Washington D.C.
to compete in the biggest nerd convention/national history fair.
We didn't win that one.
So we're not the biggest nerds in the nation--just the state.
Side note: You haven't truly experienced a nerd convention until you go to a national history fair dance. For real, we went one night. We told our moms to come with us. Haha!!! We just wanted to check it out. We walked in got a cookie, and by the time we were done eating our cookie we were ready to go. Steve Erkel dancing X 1000=national history fair dance.
In high school, Becca, Ash, and I
won the regional science fair.
We were supposed to go to BYU
to meet with some professor
to perfect our project
because then we would have been a shoe-in to win the
state science fair.
We didn't really feel like it.
So we just took our project to state as is.
We still won 2nd place.
Now I'm 4 credits away from being done with college.
Did I make it through without a nerd convention?????
Nope.
Introducing Beta Gamma Sigma
An award for only the top 10% of senior business students
At certain accredited universities.
I got it.
Beta Gamma Sigma sounds like a nerd sorority to me.
Andrew and I went to the "induction ceremony" on Friday.
We didn't think it was a big deal, but then as Andrew put it.....
"All the sudden there were people & family members everywhere
whipping out their professional cameras and taking pics."
We didn't even think to take a camera with us.
We hung around log enough for me to
take my PLEDGE
and then to walk across the stage and receive
my medal,
my key,
and my certificate.
Then we skipped out on their cheap refreshments.
And went to Outback.
Now THAT's a celebration.
Yeah me!
Hopefully adding Beta Gamma Sigma to my resume
will provide me with some benefits.
Because otherwise, I'm just a nerd.

Once a nerd, always a nerd.
Way to go Britt. See all that hard work is DEFINITELY worth that key. I wonder what it opens.
What makes you a BIGGER nerd is that the certificate says Tarak Birish Mobi.
Congrats on being such a nerd! It's interesting to me that the history fair dance was nerdy because the international science fair dance was quite scandalous when I went! I guess historians are more nerdy than scientists...who would've thought?
yeah, thank my computer crash and loss for the "internet generated" photos.
Yeah for you!!!! great use of the internet for the photos. I was wondering when you had the time to go to Georgia state, and the name I thought it was just Brittani Ballanyne Dibb in some other Iranian form. heheheh
You are awesome Brit! Way to go! Your mom was proud she told me the other day! :)
Great job, Britt! I won a national award a couple of weeks ago...a "Do Gooder" award. It's a teacher award..."Recognizing Excellence for Doing Good." No one cares! I got a certificate, but no frame like yours!!! ...and, no Outback for me!
Your such a smarty pants!!! I think you should hang the certificate up in your front room. It will look good there.
