It's neat to be at a school where homecoming is big--the hc in the town where I grew up was crazy. They have a main street parade with the marching band. The homecoming court rides in convertibles. Each class has a float. The football team marches (I think. I never paid attention to football players), and the cheerleaders all ride on a firetruck. Then during the big game, it really is a homecoming. There are people from many many years passed that return, and the floats also go around the track at half time. So one point for the new school. I don't really like their rally system--it's optional, and the gym is really small, and there is no way 600 freshmen could really fit in the stands. I liked how my old school had a point system for spirit, and how much more diverse participation was in the school. I feel like there are two schools within my school right now, and not everyone feels welcome to participate. The school doesn't really seem spirited, and there is no way for freshmen to really get plugged in, like my old school's rush week. I seemed to have gotten "suckered" into being the class activities advisor. I get to plan a Sadie Hawkins dance with the kids. I'm off to school. I'm wearing Cowboy boots. Oh-em-gee. Cowboy up.
