so anticlimatic
So this post is kind of long overdue, but over these past few days I couldn't really bring myself to sit down and actually write about Battle.
As Amanda so perfectly put it, the outcome of Battle kind of felt like being dumped by a long-term boyfriend - you put so much effort, time, and work, hoping something good and rewarding will come of it, but in the end you're just left with disappointment.
In other words, it was not a mutual break-up.
If anything I am grateful for the people I've met and friendships I've gained. Don't think just because Battle's over I won't say hi to you in the hallways. Regardless of what anyone else will tell me, I will always believe that we deserved 1st place. Not because of our amazing skit, or the fact that we dominated in games, but because our class literally came together and unified, grew friendships and showed love for one another. I saw it first hand, and I'm proud of my class on so many different levels.
You guys are the best.
I know that 1st place next year is obviously ours - it just kind of sucks feeling like we'll be winning by default.
In any case, I honestly love everyone who came out to support 09, all the people who participated in Battle, and especially my officers for putting up with my bullshit throughout the entire process.
Regardless of the tears and disappointment that came afterward, if I had the chance I would do it all over again.
