School Spirit

Background brief: Harbor high. School colors: green and gold. Today: "Green and Gold day" or "Pre-Homecoming Rally". Tommorow, the football team goes against their arch rivals: Santa Cruz High school. Their school colors: red and black.

Today.

I wore a brand-new sweatshirt I jacked from my work to school because everything else I had was in the dirty laundry. The sweatshirt just happened to be red with the words, "SANTA CRUZ" in big font. I also wore my black pants with a red patch of a dog saying, "can't listen, you're dumb." Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't really wear my school's arch rival's school colors, but in my mind, I sort of knew today was school spirit day. I just didn't care.

So I walk into my zero period class, World Communities with Rummens. I was late, as usual, and the second I stepped foot in the classroom, a bunch of meat head football players yelled something like, "You traitor!" I responded with, "Uhh... go fuck yourselves." And they probably did.

Anyways, fast-forward to the rally. I hadn't done my homework for English, so I decided to go to the Computer Graphics room to do it during the rally. Unfortunately, Mr. Mejia was on his way out, so I couldn't stay there and do my work. The next thing I knew, I was asking him if he was going to the Rally. After he said no, I just somehow volounteered myself to take pictures of the rally and of people on G&G day.

I wouldn't say it was a total nightmare, I actually enjoyed myself and it was an interesting and new experience for me. After I ran back and forth from the gym, taking pictures of people and the rally in different angles, I went around the school and took pictures of random people and random groups. I felt somewhat.... in control. Everyone was willing to have their picture taken, except for some loser who I almost punched because she was being a bitch--but that's another story. Ahem.

Suprisingly, the rally put me in a better mood. I don't know if it was because I was so busy doing other things than actually paying attention to what was going on, but it was fun. Pretending to be school-spirited while wearing the "colors of the devil" was nice. I'm actually thinking of being the official photographer for our school's website, and/or re-designing the school website and making it less of an eye-sore.

On the other hand, since I've designated myself to be the website's photographer, I actually have to start going to school events. For example, Homecomming. UGH. I have never been to a single Homecomming event..... EVER. I've always thought it was lame. If I didn't like taking pictures so much, I wouldn't be going tommorow. I'm actually thinking of not going, but then again Mr. Mejia would be disappointed and plus, he let me borrow the school's digital camera for the weekend. I've let him down way too much anyways.

Anyways..... now I'm just waiting for my mom to get home so I could make her give me a ride to the bookstore or library so I can look for a new scene to do in Drama. Then, I'm going to youth group for the first time in 3 months..... go me. I might actually go to church this Sunday instead of being a slacker and staying home all weekend playing games on my brother's PS2. Huh.
