School Festival Day 1

I’m a little annoyed with myself for not chatting with Liberty after all. So I didn’t make the deadline, and I still haven’t heard from them after four business days. It seems I need to send them another email. I have been asleep by 10:00 most nights, and tired before then so I haven’t tried chatting. I’m a little worried that they might try to charge me an admission fee when I finally get them to look at my application, which would be a ridiculous result, but possible. Also, in the unlikely situation that I can’t transfer any credits, my late admission could potentially have an effect on my job prospects.

Today I went to my junior high school’s school festival, day one, which included a short kind of field day. The field day was a little long, but exciting. First, an entire class (25-35 students) jumped the same long jump-rope together to see how many times they could do it consecutively. The winning class made it to 50 times. They then challenged the teachers to beat them. I had never done it before, and some other teachers hadn’t done it in a long time. We made it to 12, so it was a bad loss.

Next there was an interesting kind of relay race, with each class competing against the other two in the same year. The races involved finding and running with a teacher, five people tied together in a vertical line, a sack race, a three-legged race, and running while jumping rope. Then the last event was a normal relay, in which every student ran, so it was rather long but still exciting.

I went climbing last night. I feel kind of adrift when I’m at home, but there is lots of cleaning to do, and today I need to cook a fairly involved meal.
