What an exciting day we have before us! Winter Carnivals! Broomball matches to the death! Improvisation nights! And more! tbqh I had kind of a rough day. Started coming down with some illness, and though I played well at our school's Coffeehouse, kids playing four chord songs got more applause, making me :'(. Oh well. Things get better. I bet as soon as I get some sleep the days'll brighten up.

Day 22

Breakfast today... oatmeal. We had to prepare for the winter carnival, and Yomalis, Zoe RA, Dan and I put up signs pointing to everything. It took a while for things to get started. There was good Beatles music playing at the finish line of the snowshoe-a-thon, even if there was no snow at the finish line. People shoveled snow onto it, set up banners, burned a bonfire, and prepared Face Painting, Crafts, Psychic Readings, Cookie Decorating, and Story Corner. I had nothing to do until noon, so I wandered around, dancing and stuff. A little before I had lunch (Chile, rice, coleslaw, cornbread, butterscotch brownies), and then went to serve food with Yomalis and Phoebe. Lex wouldn't give up his post, for whatever reason. I didn't really do that much work at all... instead I visited people in Story Corner. I just pulled a pillow-like feather out of my long underwear and I don't know how it got there.

Susie babysat Neil Peart's kids, if you didn't know. Once we finished cleaning up the whole carnival I put my laundry in, and... I can't remember. I know at 4 there was broomball... but until then I don't know what I did. I suppose I just chilled with people... oh, that's it. I went back to Miles with some Tobold girls and hung up the awesome inflatable moose head Dad sent me. I also looked at the [Milton Academy] course catalogue (these events are out of order but I don't want to correct them. It was moose head->Miles->laundry->courses. I still need to get my laundry out.), and thought about taking a course in the Nature of Reality. That'd be cool.

Broomball was a long, hard fight for almost 100 minutes. We ended up losing, 5-4, but I had some nice D plays and a few good offensive plays. My highlight would be sliding in front of Lex to prevent his shot. After the game I called home and then took a shower before arriving late to a dinner of lamb roast, potatoes, broccoli and cornbread. I think I took enough for two, maybe even three, people. My plate was loaded, and I think I stopped tasting and just knew that I was eating. While I did know flavor the potatoes were full of spices, and the lamb was good. The party planners had a meeting after dinner, and while Hallie and Kyra seemed like they wanted to call it off (and Sam and I...), Susie made us stick it out, and boy was it worth it. Park bench was quality, and my slideshow group, hindered a bit by Taylor, gave a good show. Improv night was a success.

There was a sick afterparty in Miles; all of Tobold was there. I played the music, and I think everyone liked it. Once they left we discussed what songs we might want to play next for Miles Down the Road. Tomorrow I have more laundry and work... fun fun fun.
