Spiritness Week of All the Spirit Nobody Wanted (I changed my name to nobody for the duration that you are reading this blog)

Last week was spirit week. Last week I was absent Monday through Wednesday. Basically, I missed most of the biggest event we had. The one thing that I wasn't looking forward to, the cheer off, was on Friday. I still had to do it. We had to be at school at 6:30. Who in the world would wake up and get to school at 6:30? I wake up at 6:30, and it takes me half an hour to get ready! I guess there were these point things and it was a competition. So everyone put money in jars for points and bout chain link things. We had a nice dress out week, but I missed a lot of it. We needed to give everyone who was dressing out wristbands, which also gave them points. I was there on Hawaiian day, which is tourist day for me, and team colour day. We just wore our team shirts. Avoid being competitive at all costs because I get worked up.Not much happened on Thursday. On Friday, we had the cheer off. Every team did a cheer. I hated all of them, including ours. The only people who used a song I like turned the nuanced lyrics to a brainless cheer nobody liked. Yay! Spirit Week!

BOOOO 0/10 cheer!

A highlight of the week was Thursday. Why is Thursday a highlight? Nothing explicitly bad happened with the spirit week stuff. Nothing explicitly good happened. Judging by the way everyone else talked and acted over the past week or so, I'm going to assume that it Thursday was pretty much as normal as spirit week gets. A lowlight would be the cheer off. Trying to be "cool" when I hate the people that are "cool?" Not fun. Using some of my least favorite types of music? Not fun. The whole competition thing? Not fun. Making us have "attitude" when I don't know what "attitude is? Not fun. Being forced to take part in it? I REALLY HATE THIS THING ALREADY! The world would be a better place if the cheer off didn't exist. The other teams' cheers weren't much better. I did like the first part of ours. That was fun.

Look at how bored everyone is of the cheer off.

I learned that sometimes you have to do stuff that you absolutely despise. For example, the cheer off. I hated that SO MUCH! Yet everyone at Ilima could see me dancing during the cheer off. I did it for the like 130 kids (approximately) who liked the cheer. I wasn't about to ruin the cheer off for everyone because I personally didn't like it. How selfish is that? That's like something a 5-year-old would do.

GLO #1: Self-Directed Learner: I was self-directed when I remembered to come to school early.

GLO #2: Community Contributor: I participated in the cheer off for everyone else in my team so I didn't ruin it for everyone.

GLO #3: Critical Thinker: I was able to figure out how to put wristbands on people in the most efficient way possible.

GLO #4: Quality producer: I did my best on the cheer-off and I put on wristbands carefully and with precision.

GLO #5: Effective Communicator: I told my period in advance that I was sick on Monday through Wednesday since the doctor diagnosed me with the flu and said I was good to go back on Friday.

Hey look that's My back on the left.

GLO #6: Effective and Ethical User of Technology: I used the Leadership Facebook page to be updated on what was going on while I was sick.
