Day 7 - Funstravaganza

Our one-of-a-kind distance sticker

We gradually wrapped up some more boxes of folders of exams in the morning. It was encouraging as some of the readers receives breaks when the room is not receiving any more boxes. We were told to bring our belongings to lunch and meet at a hall as a group at the convention center. During lunch, I attended a briefing of Question 5. The meeting after lunch gave each of the six question leaders a chance to share with us some of the things that students did well and didn't do so well. The end of the meeting concluded our reading and we were excused thereafter.

Tim and I did some shopping at Raygun, a local novelty shop.  We also stopped by the Rally House before returning to our room for a quick rest prior to dinner and the Funstravaganza. The Funstravaganza was great fun. The new readers (Acorns) put together some humorous skits. Other skits include Family Feud, Holy Son of the Majestic One, What Goes on Downstairs in the Alternative Test Grading Rooms, and Fun Run Awards Presentations. At the end of the night, Tim, Daryl, and I enjoyed a great conversation. We wish Daryl the best as he begins his new journey to earn a doctorate in statistics at Ohio State University.
