the weekend comes to the rescue.

if i had another day of school to suffer through, i do believe i'd go into a coma. the beginning of this week was wretched, and i'm pleased to say that it slowly improved up until the peak of the week (that rhymed), friday, today.

today was MS/HS Field Day at my school. i originally thought that it would be a disasterous event, but it turned out much better than expected. i participated in 4 events, and i plan on describing a few, if not all, in the following paragraph(s).

first event = the wheelbarrow race. i just completely butchered the spelling of that word, but i'm too tired to find out how to really spell it. or maybe i spelled it right, but i'm so tired that it looks wrong. either way, i'm tired. RIGHT, so, i was originally paired up with fle, but i switched to be brandon stanford's partner, and fle was shurden's partner, because they are both smaller than either of us..so..it would be easier. brandon and i went last. and when it was our turn to go, we rocketed from the starting line to the cone, and flew around it and made our return to the line. that's when i realized that brandon's legs were myseriously slippery and hard to hold on to. this was about the time that brandon decided that we were going too fast, and wanted to let his hands fall limply to the ground and faceplant himself into the grass. and then i let go of his legs, due to the amount of difficulty i was having in holding onto his legs while trying to push his face across the ground, seeing as he had stopped "wheelbarrowing". once i let go, my momentum enabled me to continue moving forward, and over brandon, doing a twist in the air before making contact with the ground. how exhilerating that was, but we obviously did not win.

second event = volleyball i'll make this quick and just say that we beat the freshmen, juniors, and seniors, and took first. we worked it.

third event = tug of war er. we killed the freshmen in the first round...then went against the seniors and lost bitterly, but recieved 2nd place. humiliatingly, the juniors lost to the freshmen (!), and recieved fourth.

fourth event = egg toss this was a very interesting event, to say the least. it seemed absolutely ridiculous when they were explaining to us what we were meant to do, but it turned out slightly more humane than expected. each class were to make a vertical line down the field, each person in about 10 foot gaps between the next person. the first person in line took hold of his/her egg, and launched it backwards to the next person. the next person would frantically dance in circles trying to catch the egg without it breaking it, or dropping it. the catch: everyone throwing the eggs would for some reason throw them 50 feet into the air, hoping that it might make it easier for the person catching the egg. i was amazed at the lack of reasoning. what was funny however, is that some of the eggs were dropped at least 100 times without breaking. i was close to accusing the other groups of hard-boiling them, but by that time, the suspect egg had broken in some fashion or another. after the eggs had been sucessfully passed down the line of 15 people without dropping, we were meant to go all the way back. well, our group made it to the end, and were on the way back when it was my turn to catch. alison was throwing to me, by the way, and i noticed that she looked at the egg questioningly for a moment before throwing it. i thought nothing of it, and prepared myself to catch an egg from 50 feet in the air without breaking it. to make a long story short, it broke. and she knew it was cracked when she through it. and i ended up with egg all over my hands, which was quite an unpleasant ordeal, so i wiped my hands on tyler's shirt, and he was happy to be a help.

after the whole field day thing, us varsity guys left for our game in greenville against Pleasant Grove, we beat them 5-1, and i played better than usual, so hurray.

we ate at arby's on the way home, and had a heck of a time. and now i'm here, with my newly installed windows xp, and new chip with more RAM. this makes me chuckle with delight. and i'm EXTREMELY tired, so i believe i'll be going.
