We had part two of our Sports Day at school, the main events, and my house, after 31 years of failure, FINALLY came first overall! I stayed back a bit to celebrate with the boys and girls (Yes, girls. We accept only about 20 girls at A-levels. 3nodding ) afterwards. Mosty of them were crying in joy. The teachers who belong to the house were also in tears, including myself. FINALLY! Our name is going on the Challenge Shield trophy!
We came second in the field events yesterday and second in the march past today, then we came out on top for the races and other events today. smile So overall, when all the points were tallied, we were in the lead by about 40 points!
AND I MUST COMMEND MYSELF: For the first time in my life, I actually participated! I ran in the two races for the female staff.....but placed 4th, but that still contributed two points to the house. xp
I must tell you about our team for the march past: they were dressed as a soccer team, clad in black and white silk football jerseys and silk football pants, black and white knee-length socks and black shoes. The two girls on our team were dressed as referees in skirts. They were very glittery! biggrin On all of their jerseys, we got printed in brilliant white against the stark black silk material, the house emblem which is of a posturing, roaring lion standing on two legs and facing the side. The emblem was on the left side, from under their arms and wrapped around their waist. It looked really, really cool! I don't have any pics since my camera was destroyed a while ago. emo
GO, ALISHARAN!!!
