In July and August 2006, fourteen talented teenagers came together to study the craft of essay writing at a "nerd camp" in upstate New York. This is our blog. Bow.

School Spirit!

Today was school spirit day! woohoo! Meaning that they asked everyone to wear black and gold (our school colors...even though we're the *seagulls* which is a really silly team name anyway, because, I mean, seagulls just have no fear surrounding them. Although our mascot is awesome, it looks like a giant chicken. Except more seagull-y.). But I didn't have any gold, so I just wore black and light brown which looks kind of gold when it's in the right lighting. And I got my face painted by the cheerleaders at lunch, and I bought black and gold balloons, but they flew away. Which made me sad. Anyway, each period was five minutes shorter so we finished school early and went to the football game after school. We had to stay until 2:30, after that you could leave, but I didn't 'cause I was having fun. Not that I was actually *watching* the game...I can't follow football; I just cheer when everyone else does. And WE WON. Everyone was shocked because, y'know, my school is a *technical* high school. We're known for our lego-robotics team. Our football team is a bunch of nerds. And the other team were these huge guys from Harlem...and we beat them like 20-6 or something. Heehee. Then I stayed for xcountry, but we did an easy run today, so we were only there for an hour or so later. And then I went to Applebee's and now I'm home.

Go Seagulls! FEAR THE FLOCK!
