Last night was our playoff game against Franklin (semi-finals). It was absolutely insane. One of the most entertaining games I've watched in a while. We we're tied 7-7 during the final quarter. Then we lost possession without 3 minutes to go, so we were all getting more and more nervous. With about 16 seconds left on the clock, they were around 20 yards away from the end-zone with a fourth down. They brought out their kicker (who had already missed an easy one earlier in the game, due to nerves most likely). So in attempts to psych him out again, we used all of our remaining time outs. And then, instead of kicking for the 3 points, they decided to go for it on the fourth down. And to our luck, they didn't get it! Bring on the overtime. So for the overtime, both teams got a chance on the 10 yard line to try to score. Franklin went first. They got the touchdown on the first down, and then the extra point was good. On our turn, it took us 3 downs, but we got the touchdown and the extra point. Bring on more overtime. This time we went first, and it took us all 4 downs to get it, but we got the touchdown and extra point. Then, Franklin once again got it on the first down. Then, I guess they decided they wanted this game to end on their terms, so they went for the extra 2 points and missed!!! Thus we won! It was crazy, everyone rushed the field, so excited. Next weeks we play White Station, and if we win, we go to state!
After the game, everyone went to Starbucks. We were sitting outside, and we stayed forever for some reason. We ran into a couple other people, and for some reason we ended up sitting in the middle of the parking lot until around 12:30. We had dance parties to people's car music, drew with sidewalk chalk, and played with bubbles. I love my friends.
Dad and I have watched Star Trek five times since it came out on Tuesday... my schoolwork has noticed =].
This week, our school put up all of these tape people things, representing people killed through smoking, and had little informational sheets in them about the dangers of smoking. Here's an example of one, which happens to be me! They traced me during my first period (when I office work for guidance). Aren't I cute?
Anyways, so every day during seventh period (my other office working period) I always meet up with a lot of people and have fun. Kelsey, Mariam, Melissa, and more people also office working during that class (although for various teachers) and Nikhita and Carolyn both of study hall. So oftentimes, we go to Adams room and have an impromptu dance party (since thats his planning period and nothing is happening in there) or go to the senior courtyard and do other various, equally random things. Its definitely my favorite class of the day. So anyways, on Wednesday, we were feeling especially energized. This was around the time that all of the tape people went up, and some how, Kelsey Mariam Melissa and I came up with yet another ridiculous passtime. Here are the results:
It was incredibly amusing, and for about an hour, there were two tape people of me in our school. Unfortunately, it got taken down about halfway through eighth period. We were bummed. We thought it was a good-natured joke, apparently the administration didn't agree. Ah well, what can you do? Clearly, I'm enjoying senior year. I love my friends. We're so comfortable in our nerdiness.
I'm so so thrilled about Thanksgiving coming up. I still have a bunch of work to get done before, but that's okay. I can't wait to see all of you, it makes me so happy thinking about it. I love you, and will see you soon!
tape people/wizard thing is best freaking idea! how could the admins not have liked it. he must've disapparated, don't worry.
