Homecoming Game and such.
Today was an okay day, for the most part. Classes were shortened because of our Pep Rally we had at the end of the day, so they weren't totally unbearable. =p

The Pep Rally itself was great. ^_^ Normally our Pep rallies are stupid, with a demonstration by the cheerleaders and random other inter-class activities. So, yeah. Pretty lame.

But today's; today's was good. ^_^

The inter-class activity was a game of volleyball. A certain number of volunteers from each class were called down to the floor and competed against the other classes. The winning class went on to face the faculty. :0!

And the faculty won! (Due in part to some shady dealing, I'm sure) o.<

After all of the planned events and such were over, the Student Council simply opened up the floor to anybody who wanted to dance. We had a local radio station handling the music, and so we had some good and loud music. At first, it was just a bunch of cheerleaders dancing about. Then some more people went down and joined them. Then some more, and more, and more, until all manner of people were jumping up and down to the music.

What was great, though, was when the good dancers got to the floor. Sickened at how those already on the floor were performing, they showed them how to really dance. A couple of these kids were really great dancers, and had great control over their bodies. Like Michael Jackson-ish control.

To top it all off, though, one of the Seniors went down and did a rapid series of back flips across the gym. I don't think anybody realized he was capable of doing something like that, but it was pretty darn cool. :D


This evening, I went to the Homecoming game and had a great time. I hung out with all of my Freshman friends that I'd not seen for a long time. Christina, Paul, Tyler, Ivan, Isabelle, and some of their new friends that I hadn't met yet. A great time was had by all. Our team absolutely devastated the visitors, winning 41-0. Which is great, because for a number of years our team hasn't been all that great.

After the game, we went to a huge bonfire being put on up on the hill over the football field. The radio station had a table set up there and was blaring music out for all to hear. The fire was its usual impressive self, and people danced the night away as the fire slowly burned to sparkling cinders.

I got a bunch of hugs tonight, heh. Amanda is always glad to see me, and grabbed me almost as soon as she saw me. Jane, one of Amanda's friends who no longer goes to St. Bernard's, saw me and ran over to give me a hug. Later on, Megan tackled me in the midst of dancing and dragged me away by the arm. She and I watched the fire for a little bit, and then held hands as we walked around all of the crazy dancing people. ^_^;;

Oh, and by the way, I bought my ticket to Homecoming today at lunch. This'll be the first Homecoming dance I've been to in my three years at St. Bernard's, and the second dance in total. (The only other dance I went to was a fund-raiser for my class that I helped organize and set up)







ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.......



*shakes himself awake*

Oy. I'm thoroughly worn out. I was up to 1:15 this morning writing my English paper. It did get done, though, and I think it was done acceptably well. What seemed like an unkindness was when Mr. Lamoureux informed us that the thesis for our next paper was due on Tuesday. (We don't have class on Monday :p)

Gah. Tired-ness and happiness. I love my friends and my school.
