Tomorrow protends ominously... actually tonight does as well because it's a mischief night. My school plays our biggest rival this weekend. It's a big rivalry... HUGE! So huge, the entire town is going nuts.

As usual, the nights prior to the game, both sides attempt slink over to the opposing school to do some sort of damaging prank. If they're lucky, someone will paint the mascot. If that's not possible, they'll let loose on the rest of the popluation. Long story short, tonight and tomorrow, every kid out past 8pm will be rousted and no one will park on the street if they can help it. Tonight the janitorial staff is guarding our school instead of cleaning. Tomorrow night, the rest of the staff is holding a "BBQ" right next to our mascot statue.

Tomorrow is also spirit day. How crazy will it be? We had to warn students to be fully dressed - more than a couple planned to sport body paint while half naked. We'll also be having an assembly and the most spirited outfit wins a big prize. After school, HUGE community rally... fire may be involved. One other than the planned BBQ/protection detail.

One of the greatest thing about my school is it's traditions. There are dozens of sweet (almost twee) traditions. While I could do without the mischief nights, the rest of it is bound to be fun!

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

Tag

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
