High School

High school is like a big competition
Beauty contests, prom court is the mission
There can only be one queen, one king
Everyone voting, everyone competing
But these are the rule, the way of high school
If someone puts you down
That's so high school
Someone talks behind your back
That's so high school and when you you have to get them back
That's also high school
I know I'll be graduating early

Cuz, high school
Could be
A mini me of the rest of society
There's always
A prom queen
There'll always be, always be seroritys
Sadly
Some will be
Eternally keeping score of popularity
And just 'cause
They all do
Doesn't mean we have to act like we're in high school

High school is like the state of the nation
Some people never change after graduation
Believing any light you shine makes their's lesser
They have to prove to everyone that their's is better
These are the rules, the ways of high school
If someone puts you down
That's so high school
Believing they're too cool for you
That's so high school and you believe it too
That's also high school
I know I'll be graduating early

Annville's Homecoming

I used to go to Annville. Now I go to NL. These two school happen to hate each other. A lot. Tonight our school plays football away at Lancaster Catholic and, although we have an almost perfect record, it will be a close game. Last year we beat Catholic and it was an amazing upset. So this year they are out to get us. I hope we can pull through but we'll have to wait and see! Anyway, I am going to Annville's game instead of ours. Tonite is their homecoming game so it should be exciting plus my cousin is on their court so I want to support her. Annville announces their queen at the game too (which I like and wish we would do too). I am excited to see who wins. I know all of the girls on court and though I shouldn't have an opinion, I do! I hope Annville and NL both win our games this week!!

homecoming week!!!!

Hall decorating is tomorrow after school. I just got done cutting out lots of shapes to represent the sports played by each senior athlete. Every year, each class is assigned a hallway and given two hours to decorate it for homecoming week. And, also every year, the Sophomores win. The class officers from each class are responsible to get the tools with wich to decorate. Therefore the freshmen never have much to brag about. (none of them can drive, and really don't even have the motivation to ask their parents to get them supplies). The juniors frequently come in third place, just after the seniors who give their all at everything since its their last shot. Who do the sophomores always win you may ask? Simple. THE STODDARDS. They are the advisors for the Sophomores every year and are very organized. They buy supplies to make crafts weeks ahead of time and rally the troops to start painting and making signs. Every year the sophomores come in expecting to win. Well not this year!! The seniors are here with a vengeance and we plan on taking first. I guess you could say we have some pretty cool class officers =)

Revelation

My life has led me down the road that is so uncertain
And now, I am left alone and I am broken
Trying to find my way
Trying to find the faith that's gone

This time I know that you are holding all the answers
And I'm tired of losing hope and taking chances
On roads that never seem
To be the ones that bring me home

Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
Cause I've been trying
To find my way
I haven't got a clue

Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move?
Give me a revelation
I've got nothing without you
I've got nothing without you

Homecoming in the High School

Homecoming is an interesting time of year. Generally speaking, students either love or hate it. This time is filled with many social activities including car painting, hall decorating, powder puff, a bonfire, pep rallies, musical chairs, football games, a dance and so much more. The students who are "involved" tend to enjoy these opportunities. The people who you can find at the above celebrations are also the ones on the sports field and in all of the clubs. Therefore, these students get particularly stressed. As we approach the end of a marking period, they struggle to juggle (haha) keeping up their grades, getting their PR in their last XC meet, winning a soccer game, writing their speech for senior night, making powder puff tee shirts, learning the spirit team dance, learning the district chorus music, and finishing those final projects and papers. Oh yeah, did I mention getting a dress!?! These are a few things running through my mind as I try to blog.. As well as the fact that I should stop running 2 miles with my neighbor every morning during XC season beacuse I have to run 6 more later anyway. I'm a freak.

Weddings

Weddings are fun, but too long. People feel the need to have the longest weddings ever and torture their guests. All their lives they probably complained about how long other weddings were, yet when it comes time for theirs, they want it to be "the best ever". I was at my cousin's wedding yesterday and it was a happy wedding. They are perfect together and he just glowed the whole time. Their lives seem pretty much set, which is awesome for them, but kind of discouraging for the rest of us.
Last night, after the wedding, my mother and aunt and myself went dress shopping. I happen to hate shopping. With a passion. I think I tried on about 37 dresses in 3 hours and left empty handed. Dances are overrated. Girls spend days and lots of money caring about what they will look like, but no one even remembers other people because they are too consumed in their own appearance. I just want to wear soccer shorts and a tee shirt, but I don't think that's acceptable on court. Bummer.

Political Debates

Tonight is a Thursday, which means that a new episode of The Office should be on. However, the vice president debate for the upcoming election is on basically every channel. For some messed up reason this takes precedent over The Office. Some could argue that the priorities are in all the right places here. But honestly, come on. When weighing the knowledge that is attainable from watching this epic show versus a debate where we argue about the same things that we have been debating for months, I think the answer is clear. Granted this may have some affect on the nation for the next four years, but I can't vote anyway! That's all I have to say.
