I suspect that this will be very much like my experiences as a young contestant in the National Geographic GeoBee: hours of feeling incredibly smart and popular until the moment someone asks a question about mountains in Antarctica that I had no clue what the answer was. It can be a fun experience as long as one remembers to enjoy oneself and keep fun instead of winning at all costs in mind.
I'd wish to postulate myself, 26 years in the past. If that were possible, that is.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I hope the show will be going on when I have my own children :D
