Current Events

Last week was probably one of the most stressful weeks i've had in a long time. It started out okay.. being homecoming week everyone was a little more excited than usual. Every year for homecoming we have what is called a "Court Game" to get the couples put together. This year it was my friend Sara and my job to figure out what the game should be and to get it all organized. When i accepted this task in the summer I thought it sounded like a lot of fun.. Was i ever wrong. It turned out to be stressful and extremely hectic.

For our game we decided to have baby pictures of all of the girls with the boy's heads photoshopped in. This would mean that the boys would have to try and figure out who their date for the dance was. It became stressful when i had all of my regular classes w/ homework to keep track of + cross country practice every night, and also staying after practice to decorate the windows, then going home and having to do my chores. It was really hard to get all of the pictures and questions back on time because I couldn't get ahold of all of the girls.

Along with getting everything ready for homecoming and making sure that it ran smoothly.. I also had to worry about my boyfriend being upset with me because I barely had any time to talk to him. He got upset that "he was the only one trying" and that I wasn't making any effort to talk to him. What he didn't understand was that I had all this stuff at school to take care of along with stuff going on with my family (which is a whole different story completely).

So without any hesitation I am glad to say that homecoming week is OVER!! I have never been so excited for the end. I realize now, going into my junior year in HS, that things slowly start becoming more responsibilities than fun. Having to basically plan the whole dance made me realize how much work goes into even the littlest things. It really gives you a new perspective on things.
