When I walked through the doors last week, I knew that many different things awaited me. First of all it was spirit week. The week started off with "Hat Day" which wasn't to crazy, but still fun. Everyone wore their favorite hat, and it was cool to see how everyone has different personalities.
Tuesday was "Pajama Day." This was actually quite interesting. I knew that people were going to get into this one, but I don't think I was expecting them to go to the extremes that they went to. As I walked through the halls, I saw people at least 20 people in footie pajamas. I'm glad that they have the courage to wear those to school! I'm not sure I would be able to do it. That same day was "Officer-Cheerleader Switch Day" which means that you switch places with each other for a day. During homeroom, we switched our huge, comfy, soft, blanket-like jackets for their tight, itchy, "cute" ones. We proceeded to wear them all day continuing onto the game. As we waited for the game we took pictures, in hope that we would remember this moment forever. We laughed, and we cried, as we thought of what awaited us. Once the game started we got into our positions, and us officers took the cheerleaders places. It was probably quite entertaining for the crowd, because we were awful. We could hardly do the actions, but luckily we knew most of the words. We probably laughed more than we actually cheered. Believe me, there was much to laugh about. During the lovely "time-outs" the non-flexable boys would go out and do multiple summersaults and attempt to do some cartwheels. It got interesting one time-out when they went out and did the leap frog game. The clock ticked and we started to get a little nervous for our half time show. We learned "The Stomp" and were planning on performing it during half-time. When the buzzer went off indicating that it was time for our "show" we all rushed over to our places. We messed up a lot, which made it all the better. By the end of the game we were glad that it was only a one-day thing. We decided that everyone is in a certain place for a certain reason, and we were definitely meant to be officers.
Wednesday was "Ugly Sweater Day" which we were all looking forward to. The previous Saturday I went to the D.I. and bought myself an ugly sweater for this specific day. I was very excited to wear the sweater I had bought! We also had an assembly which gave recognition to the Boy's Basketball Team, NAL, and the Science Olympiad. The officers all had different parts in the assembly, whether it was advertising for our fundraisers, or announcing names, we didn't really mind because we got out of class. I had the privilege of announcing the Science Olympiad team which I found out, is very big. It seems dumb to be nervous about something like that, but indeed I was. I felt bad because I was about to slaughter all of the names on the list. No matter how much people helped me pronounce them, I still failed to say them right. While saying the names, I looked at my hand holding the list and saw it shaking like crazy. I tried to stop it from shaking, but I couldn't get it to stop. I quickly finished reading the never ending list of names and sat down before I had a seizure. All in all, It was a great assembly, and really just a great day in general. I wish that ugly sweaters were in style, but I don't think that is going to stop me from wearing one every now and again.
Thursday was "Super Hero/Villain Day." Most people just wore a Superman shirt, including me. On the other hand, there were people who wore full on costumes which were quite entertaining to look at. I was glad that people dressed up to make for an eventful day. Later we had a girls basketball game at North Layton, which we won by miles! We were very excited, and had many new inside jokes by the end of that game. Friday was "Socks and Sandals" day, an idea generated from the brain of J.R. Oldham that was also great fun!
As you can see, this week was a week full of fun and adventures!
