This week has been so exhausting. It was really fun don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed it... but oh my god this weekend has not been even close to being long enough so that I can recover from everything.
I'm very sorry about the fact that I have been so inconsistent the past week or so, I just haven't been able to just sit down and work. I promise that as soon as things start to calm down that this will all change. It might be a few weeks considering college apps are due very soon, but it will happen.
Despite the fact that this week was homecoming week, and considering that usually entails a lot of excitement of some sort... it was fairly dull. Sure, the Giants won the World Series and everyone was pretty hyped up about that, but since I have been at Sequoia, this was by far the least spirited homecoming week. Of course, I tried to be just as spirited as always, regardless of what everyone else was doing.
My two highlights of the week were Halloween and hall decorating...which I guess were in some ways the same thing this year since they fell on the same day. Halloween was amazing because of my friends. A group of 8 of us dressed up as the different characters from Alice in Wonderland and had a tea party at lunch. We were absolutely adorable and had the most creative group costume in school by far. And then hall decorating has always been my favorite thing to begin with, but we managed to make our hallway absolutely amazing this year, to the point where we topped our spongebob hallways last year. But, apparently, the judges didn't agree on that... so we tied for 2nd... with the Sophomores, who had a horrible hallway... and the Freshman won. So we will forever be known as the first senior class to ever lose to freshman.. I cried. It was not only embarrassing but ridiculous, we had put so much more time and effort into everything.. only to have that happen. I don't even want to think about it anymore... it just makes me depressed.
Also... there was a bit of a surprise for me by the end of the week that I wasn't expecting. So Lorenzo had invited his friend who is a German Exchange student at a school in Petaluma to our homecoming dance... and my friends took this opportunity to decide that this kid... whether he liked it or not, would become my date for homecoming. I met him the night before at the football game. His name is Luca, and he is very, very attractive (not to mention about 3 inches taller than me)! I have t o admit, I honestly didn't feel like I deserved to be set up with someone like that so I was nervous to talk to him at first... only to find that he was either incredibly boring or incredibly shy. Honestly, after two days I couldn't tell.. he was very difficult to read. I had a lot of fun with everyone though, even though there were a few rough spots, the past 2 nights were so much fun it feels like its happened over a span of like half a week and not merely 24 hours.
So yeah, that's a very brief and positive summation of everything that happened. I'll bring everything back to normal soon.
