Today was, of course, Spirit Day. It always is. That is, the fifth day of Spirit Week is always Spirit Day. This is the night of the Homecoming game and dance, and they'll be announcing who the Homecoming Queen and King are at lunch today!

No Gymnastics tonight, because I had to get home and get into my gown, and then be back in time for the Halftime Presentation of the Homecoming Royalty. Shayna Baruth won Queen, she's a senior. But I get to be one of the Apple Fair Princesses in a few weeks! There's all kinds of nifty things I get to do because I'm part of this, so I'm gonna have fun!

I pulled a fast one on everyone else, though. I went to school today in what looked like the school uniform, but reversed colors! Yellow (Gold) skirt instead of Purple. Green blouse and socks instead of Yellow. Purple scarf, hat, and blazer instead of Green. The trim (of everything) and lettering (on the pocket of the blazer) was still gray, but dark gray instead of light gray. It took me and Mom hours to make exactly the same stuff in the different colors.

Why? Because it's Spirit Day! Instead of just wearing the school colors, or not participating and just wearing my uniform, I did BOTH. I won! I won a day! And the best day, in my opinion! Go Wolves!

Matthew wore his uniform, but his face was painted. Three vertical stripes, Purple on his right side, Yellow in the center, Green on his left side, with light gray outlining his mouth and eyes. He admitted defeat gracefully at lunch (before they announced the winner) because even he knew that I had him beat.

Oh, and apparently, everyone has taken to calling him, "Goober," "Goob," or, "The Goober," because of me. But he says he doesn't mind, that there are worse nicknames.
