Senior night

15th of October, Wednesday

Today, students took practice SAT tests, so the whole school turned upside-down. I had a Psych, but the rest of my classes were cancelled. Either because the teacher was supervising the exam, or there were too many kids missing. So I had 7 study halls.
  At 11:50, Larry picked me up, and took me to a meeting. There were very few people compared to the last meeting. I sang the national anthem, completely off-key, and I think everybody noticed. To my defense, our anthem is very difficult to sing, especially if you're alto or bass (I'm alto-1).
  At 2:30, the seniors at volleyball (including me) got together, and had a lunch at Friday's. This was my first time there. We had a good time. Afterwards, we went back to Athena for our senior night. The juniors and JV decorated the gym with the posters we made, the posters the juniors made (Lexi made mine, it's super cool, she looked up the hungarian flag and personalized it. I think I got the best one). We signed each other's posters with cute, inspirational paragraphs. When the JV game ended at 5:45, we sat down, and celebrated senior night. 108 people came to cheer for us. Friends and family. Well, in my case my host family. Also some Rotarians came too, Kim, Larry, Al, Tracy. We were given flowers, our pictures were taken, it was very ceremonial. Then the game started against HFL. They're a good team. They beat us in 3. Shame, especially, that it was senior night. Everybody played, except for me. Seniors always play on senior night, it's a tradition. But the coach forgot about me. I was very upset, but I only took it out with my horrible singing in the shower. I was dissapointed, because I invited all those people, for nothing. I wish I could have played, but things happened the way they did, and I'll have to live with that.
  After the game, the seniors sat down again, and the juniors presented their speeches, that they've wrote for us. Mine was written by Lexi, but presented by Sammi (Lexi has severe stagefright). It was really cute, though, what she wrote. I cried, but at least I wasn't the only one. We had cake, with our picture printed with frosting on it, it was pretty cool. Then we took all the posters down, and took them home.
