Six Flags & the Competition

May 22, 2005 12:09

Did you know a tablespoon of sunflower seeds are only 2 pts?

I was really surprised, after listening to one of the schools we were up against singing a flawless Mozart piece, that we did so well! And after all V's gloating over last year's awards and saying how it was a once in a lifetime teaching career opportunity and she'd never see it again... Well guess the frig what. We did it again. Select came in first in the madrical choir level with a rating of superior, general came in first in whatever category they were in with a rating of superior, and then select won overall grand champs with a rating of surperior!! We are just so totally awesome. V: "Juniors, you've got some big shoes to fill next year!" She's so right, it's gotta be our class!

So other than the V drama, the rest of the day's excitement came out of Six Flags, New England. Maria walked around all day with her points system for her new diet. "Chicken strips? 8 pts??... Oh, a salad is only 1 pt, I'll take that." Although Marc and Babe hate big rides, Shane, Nany, and I worked around that. We did Babe's favorite ride, the baby roller coaster Poison Ivy, and that made her happy. It's the biggest thing she'll go on, and omg she was screaming her friggin' little red head off lol. But she was wearing her BE BRAVE bracelet for a reason lol. And then I feel really really bad that she and Marc had to wait an hour and a half for the rest of us to go on the Superman. I had no idea it was going to be such a long wait, and I stupidly left my cell with Maria. And then right before it was our turn to get on, literally right before: "Um... we're experiencing some technical difficulties. Please wait patiently." It got stuck. People were riding it, and it got stuck. And then they had to take it for a few test runs, testing the ride and the seatbelts!!! And they're doing all this right in front of my face!! Well, I was seriously ready to walk away and not do it--it's not worth my life! But no one else seemed to care, and Shane was saying how he'd been waiting for so long he wasn't about to turn around now, and Nany said she could care less if she fell out and died, as long as she rode it... So... I decided what the heck, and went on. Well, it was actually a very pleasant ride. Nothing broke down, and I don't think I've ever had such a heavy adrenaline rush on any ride ever before!! It was soooo awesome!! 221 ft drop!!! Right next to this big body of water, too! Omg, Nany flipped out right as we were coming up over the top for the first drop. That's when she lost her cool lol. It was pretty hilarious actually. I think I might have screamed, but I couldn't hear myself over hers lmao. Wish we weren't all so poor, I would've loved to have bought that hilarious photo they took on the third drop.

Bus drama. Don't even let me get into that. Let's just say that the chaperone on our bus decided to play this wonderful game--she calls it, everyone puts their name on a dollar and puts in a bag and she picks it and whoever's name it is gets to keep all the money... I call it the lottery. And I seriously wouldn't have done it, if it wasn't for that shy little greedy part of me that knows I'm desperate for money and a job and could seriously use that $42... I counted the ppl on the bus... Well, I put in my dollar, "Babe Russell." Guess whose name gets picked........................... KELL-JO's! "OMG THAT'S ME!! I should become a professional gambler! Oh, thank you all for your dollar! Tee hee hee!" Well, think of the way you contort your face when a nasty smell suddenly enters the room... Yeah. That was basically mine, Babe's, Marc's, Nany's, and everyone else on the bus who played. I'll be darned if anyone ever plays that game again. A precious dollar... foolishly wasted... I could've cried.

Further bus drama. Someone was foolish enough to let slip the bus drama that happened last year with the lottery winner and a boy... and something that happened on that bus, right in front of everyone. Well, I have never wanted to disappear faster! "I am f***ing K**** D******! I will say whatever the f*** I want!" Omg, that was about the time when Babe and I put our sweatshirts on backward, covered our faces with the hoods, and took a nap. That feeling of invisibility never felt so sweet, let me tell you!

Awards Banquet drama. "Let's send the President and Vice President up for the awards." Great idea. That would be, of course, Marc and Nanishka. Well, who comes back holding the big award proud and clear? No one but the lottery winner. Maria asked her if she could hold it, since she's a senior too. "Um... well, you can look at it." Somebody took the trophe from her for a picture, and she snapped it back. "Where's my trophe?" MY trophe. Ya gotta love it, she's like somethin' directly out of a movie. So Nany, right in front of her, goes, "Hey, let's call all the officers for a picture with the trophes so ***** can't be in it, and she'll have to put it down." Hahaha!! That was priceless right there. And we did it. And then Babe held the trophe with a huge smile on her face and I got her picture. Yearbook material, right there. And then I held the trophe like a champion, high above my head, with a look of sheer determination on my face lol, and she took my pic. That one will be a big blown up poster for V's wall. And maybe we could fold it up and give a copy to our friend as a gift. "To KJo, love the Babes." Oh, God, I can be evil. But so can so many other people.

But it does feel good to be back to normal. Too much excitement and drama all in one day. And I'm a hormonal teenager still, for God's sake! Sigh... I'm actually just relieved that's my last school trip. They can get annoying after a while. Too many people for me. And now if you'll excuse me, I want a cookie. 12 1/2 pts.
