I'm back after my week away. Just for the record, ill probly be doing this once a week for the time being. not much goes on to write one of these every couple of days. but in the past week, ive had alot of fun. it was homecoming week, so school didnt feel like school. everyone just goofed off and i dont remember doing much work at all, but then again i never do anyways. monday was pajama day, and i represented nascar with my dale sr. pajama pants, which i got last year for the same day, and ive only worn them two times now, once then and once last week. we had a speaker named ron white (no not the funny one, unfortunately) to tell us about abraham lincoln. apparently this dude has been doing research on lincoln for awhile now and he has been on about every big news station in the country. CNN, ABC World News, etc. he also teaches at UCLA, so this dude is hot shit. also monday, the homecoming week dodgeball tournament started, which all of the homerooms eventually played in bracket style. i didnt play till tuesday, so i just watched all the underclassmen run around.
tuesday was sports day. rocked the Metal Mulisha that day, and i got alot of what team is that and what the hell is wrong with your hat, because i have the bill flipped up, moto OG style. that day i got the first out of my homerooms game in the tourney. i ran up to get a ball for some reason at the start, got one, and nailed a chick who slid out. i was pumped up about that.
wednesday was cowboy and indian day. i was gonna dress up as a mexican, but i couldnt find one of those cloaky things, so i said screw it. i just wore my homecoming shirt that day, and honestly, thats all i really remember of wednesday.
thursday was class distinction day. i had been planning up mine for a couple years now. the seniors get to be old people, so i was gonna spray my hair and goatee gray, but i didnt search very hard and couldnt find any gray stuff. i also wanted to cut my hair into a crown, but my mom wouldnt let that happen. so basically two years of planning ended up with me wearing my homecoming shirt again. my homeroom played dodgeball again, this time if we won, wed be in the semis and wed play again right after the first game. we played a junior homeroom, and it was looking bad early. basically we had two people left, and they had a pretty good chunk left. we ended up holding on to go to over time, the people who were still in knocking all but two juniors out, making it a tie. in overtime, it came down to one person on the other side. we had both people and we just had to run the clock down, but one of my friends who was on the court threw the ball, hit the last junior, and we jumped up cheering. then we see the other kids do the same and run out to the one kid. apparently it bounced off of him, but he caught it. i was so pissed.
friday was blue and gold day, a big school spirit day. wore my crusader cru shirt, some blue and gold basketball shorts, and some blue soccer socks. (i do not condone soccer, its jsut wat i needed.) my hair was sprayed yellow, as was my goatee. that just ended up being a mess. me and jovany tried spraying each other up, and i got the most yellow not on my hair. it was a mess really. i dont know how i pulled it off so well last year. it was perfect.
so on friday we were on a half day schedule, which means classes are over at 12:30. the rest of the time was going to be spent on the homecoming day activities and pep rally. something i was really pumped up about was they brought the pudding eating contest back this year. they had it sophomore year and my team got second. i felt like we could definitaly win this time around, as we had all but one original member on the team. i found out that we were the only team that signed up though, so it was cancelled. we could either get the $3 we paid for the team back or enter the relay race. we did the latter of the two obviously. we (well I) brought the team from last (4th) to 3rd in the last leg. it was a sack race and some how i stayed up and caught my friend who was in third.
after some introductions of season sports teams, it was time for the 6 on 6 boys vs girls basketball game. i told one of the kids i went to grade school and played basketball with in 5th and 6th grade who was running it to put me down on the team, but i was half joking. he put me down on there and i was thinkin, alright this should be good.
it was, and it was a blast too. i ended up gettin a basket and made some turnovers in the first half, but i was tired as hell. i hadnt sweat that much in awhile. i forgot how tough it was to run back and forth too. it was much harder because you were constantly moving though. its not like a legit game where the ball is passed around and you stay on a side for 30 seconds. it was pretty much pass and shoot, then run back within 10 seconds, if that. it was intense. in the second half i got a breakaway, but i was afraid of something like this happening. i can dribble, but im not coordinated enough to do so and run. i dribble clumsily twice then kicked the ball out of bounds on accident. all in all, it was alot of fun. we ended up winning 13-6 over the girls.
that night was the football game. it was a pretty good game but we ended up winning 51-26. the team is now 4-1, the best since my freshman year when we were 9-2 and went to the playoffs.
last sunday we got dirt 2, and ive been having fun with that. some races are starting to frustrate me though, and it gets tough, but its still a blast. its still as much fun as the last game, but i wish they had real tracks in there. thatd make it alot cooler.
so basically, it back to school this week. not looking forward to being back in a uniform and having to act serious, but its alright. senior year and im gonna enjoy it. so thats it. ill be back next weekend. later
