Recent Events - 9/22/07

Now that I actually have time to blog (Yay weekends!) I'm pondering just what to write. I suppose the most recent of events should suffice.

• This was the week of HHS' '07 Homecoming. There were, of course, various days of special dress and hardly anything was accomplished in regards to classes.
  
• I saw a school performance (Not kids from HHS, some other school.) of The Taming of the Shrew. It was decent and the performance would have been better if the audience wasn't so disturbing. But I don't guess I should expect too much from a school performance.
  
• On Wednesday there was a assembly on "Being a Winner" and a man named Steve Hale spoke. His message was well spoken but personal experience in the areas he spoke about (Drugs, alcohol, and suicide.) is always going to be a better teacher, sadly. He also spoke at Parkway Baptist Church that evening and the turnout was pretty good. The authenticity of the supposed salvations at the end of the message was a little questionable though.
  
• Thursday after school a note was found in the commons threatening the life of a staff member, several students, a bombing, and the suicide of the writer. The response to this threat was rather interesting; people were actually some-what scared, the pep rally was nearly canceled, and lots of people were checked out of school. Oh, and there was a SWAT team, snipers, metal detectors, and a helicopter at the school Friday morning. I rather doubt the writer is going to do anything now. :)
  
• Did I mention I got my braces off Friday morning? 2.5 years of mouth pain out the window. Yay!
  
• Homecoming Game against our "rivals", Desoto Central. DC scored early on and the game and the score was 0-7 for most of the game. Then, finally, HHS evened up the score. Guess what happened then. Overtime, baby. And we scored twice, winning the game. The crowd freaked out. Seriously, some Juniors with painted bodies (And even some people that looked less school-spirited.) jumped onto the field and moshed with the football players. Good times.
  

So there's the news for this week. Rock on, cool kidz.
