"Rumors" and Halloween

I can’t believe how fast this past week has gone for me. Since its getting near the end of the first marking period, it seems like I’ve had a lot of extra homework which has kept me pretty busy. Also, I’ve stayed after school practically every day, either practicing with the Dance Club, or practicing for our first Forensics League meet which was held this Saturday.

The Dance Club is off to a great start. About 40 girls joined this year! We’re all working hard to learn the choreography for the winter pep rally, and having lots of fun while doing so. The Forensics Team has also had a big leap in new members this year. At the first league meet this Saturday, UC placed 3rd! Many solo and duo competitors “broke” into the final rounds and received trophies for placing. It was a very exciting day.

The Junior Ring Ceremony was held this past Tuesday Night. At the event, the Class of 08, along with their family members and friends, celebrated mass together and received their class rings. On Wednesday, the juniors had a “Dress Up Day” to show off their rings. It’s hard to believe that in just a few months I’ll be ordering my own class ring! I can’t hardly wait!!!

The Fall Play this year is “Rumors,” by Neil Simon. From what I hear, it’s a great show filled with lots of laughs. I know many of the cast and crew members who have been working really hard over the past several weeks to make the show a huge success. I can’t wait to see it! I definitely recommend that you see it too. Come on either Friday or Saturday night; bring your friends. Show time is at 8:00 pm!!

I guess the best part of this week will be Halloween. (Oh yea – and a ½ day on Friday!!) We’re allowed to wear costumes on Tuesday, and everyone gathers in the cafeteria for breakfast. My friends and I are dressing up in a group; it should be a fun day! I hear that some of the teachers are dressing up this year too. I’ll fill you in on all the details next week!
