A Time to Recollect, A Time to Collect
It’s not as if we’re doing anything in school these days. We just have to memorize - or familiarize, in teacher-speak - the flow of the graduation rites like when to move the little string on the toga and when to stand up or raise our hands so we won’t make fools of ourselves during the actual ceremony in the audi (All together now: The Audi!!!!!!!!!!!)
Only a few of us have work left: the class treasurers who have to collect money for the prom pics, the picture taking for the yearbook, and the recollection; the secretaries of the different clubs and orgs who are tasked to prepare a year-end narrative report; and the band for the farewell song. All of us are rather screwed up in our own business: the people keep forgetting to pay the treasurers, I don’t know how to make a narrative report, and basically, the whole batch is having trouble changing the lyrics of our original farewell song into something more dramatic.
See, our song was fine enough in the beginning (Jas made it, by the way, and Lloyd, Alex, Gio, JV and the others are working on the chords and beats) but the admin is still encouraging us to come up with something more… erm… I don’t know. Something else, I think.
And yes, they want us to put in the lyrics our optimism about what lies ahead of us and our determination to stand up each time we fall. Hint: Think Go the Distance.
Oooh…. and I just realized I have a very slow reaction time. This fully explains why I died more than a hundred times the first time I played Counter Strike during Alex’s birthday years and years and years ago - does anyone remember? It also explains why, in playing the PC version of HP and the Chamber of Secrets, I freaked out when I got to the actual chamber, deleted my game from the memory slots, and gave up.
How’d I know I have a slow - Or is it long? - reaction time? I tried to join a game of Heart Attack. lolz. For those who know the game and excel at it, I salute you!
Poof!
P.S.
In case anyone is wondering why I changed my perfectly fine profile pic into a logo for the Candy Teen Blog Awards I just want to tell you I did that because in the rules for the contest it says you’ve got to post the digital sticker - proof that you’re a nominated blogger - on your template. But I didn’t know how to edit my background - seeing that HTML language is gibberish to me - so I changed my pic instead. Pretty sassy, huh?
