St. Patrick's Day

   Today is the fourth day of the spirit week, and it’s St. Patrick’s Day, so the theme color is definitely green. After lunch, most of the seniors are busy downstairs practicing Tango, which is our opening dance. I choose not to be in the Tango group because I don’t think I can do well, and it would be really embarrassing if I danced wrong. Although I’m not doing the dance, I still go and watch how the practice goes. There are only two weeks left before the prom, and I think it would quite be a tough job for them to learn and memorize the steps well. Also, most of the steps in Tango require the showing of force, and it would look funny if one showed too excess or too less. This is the difficult part of this dance. Again, the seniors have to do the dance in such squeeze time, just like last year’s Christmas Performance. However, I think they can do a good job because we already had this kind of experience before.

High School Stereotype

  Today is the third day of Spirit week, and its High School Stereotype day. The seniors are divided into three groups, which are basketball team players, emo, and characters from a movie called “Mean Girls.” Again, the seniors have the most spirit than other classes do. Whenever taking pictures, the seniors can always fill the stage, which looks pretty impressive. Although today should be full of spirit and energy, I fall asleep in afternoon’s classes. During the first period after lunch, I’m so tired that it takes me lots of effort for my eyes to open. While others are presenting their speech, I couldn’t stand the calling from the sleep, so I fall asleep. Falling asleep directly in front of the speaker is really an impolite thing, and I’m sorry for the presenters. But I truly try my best for staying awake, it’s just I fail.

Animal Day

        Today is the second day of the spirit week, and it’s called “Animal Day.” The seniors have a theme, which is One Hundred and One Dalmatians. So, most of the seniors dress up as dogs, but we’re mistaken as cows, and that’s pretty upsetting. I not only have the characteristics of the dog, but also have a tie because the basketball teams are having a game today. Again, we’re playing against the same school as last week, and the time is still late. But, today’s weather is extremely windy that the ball we shoot can be blown away from the basket from the strong wind. However, after we run for a while, our legs and fingers are warmed up. Everyone is excited, shouting out loud and jumping up high as soon as the game ends because we win! Both the boys and the girls win the two games. YEAH! HOORAY! Finally, after so many losses, the girls get their second taste of winning. I can tell that the two coaches are definitely happy, and the girls have to keep working because we need to win more games.

Class Color

        Today is the first day of the spirit week, which is class color day. I think the seniors participate the most because almost the whole class wears red. My eyes are sore throughout the whole day because I didn’t have a good sleep yesterday. Again, I slept on my chair rather than on my bed, so I can’t rest well. As for result, both my eyes and spine are uncomfortable. Originally, I decide to go back home and have a sleep right after practice. However, as I finish practicing basketball, I feel I’m not tired at all. So, I stay and finish the AP Calculus homework with other seniors. As I’m getting closer to finishing the worksheet, my mind is so happy that I shout out “YEAH!” as soon as I’m done. Exercising is really the best way to help you recover from tiredness.
