I was so shocked to hear that I was nominated for Homecoming court. It was the most random moment of my life. I was in Mrs. Bergeski’s class -3rd hour- and we were listening to the ten minute annoucments and they were talking about homecoming court. I heard the name Matthew Mar….ar…arldo. Of course they messed up my name, and when I finally figured out they were talking about me my mouth dropped. Everyone turned around to look at me, and I just started to laugh. I have no idea who nominated me, and I really want to know. I hope I win, I don’t know what they do, but it is probally something awesome.

I went over to Heather Coppola’s this past weekend, with Heather, Paige, and I, and it was a blast. First, we went to the movies. We saw Fame. It was a really depressing movie. I had a meet Tuesday and it was really funny. It was raining and we were at Cass Benton. The ground was muddy and we knew that it was going to be bad news. We went for a warm up jog and it was raining so hard. About five mintues into the warmup we heard thunder. All of the cross country team cheered because this meant we could go home. But it was short lived because we still had to run. It didn't thunder or lightning again so we had to run. It crushed my spirit and i knew that i was going to do terrible, and i did. I got to the line and i was standing in mud. The gun went off and i started to run... but i slipped. Thankfully i just got my hand and leg and missed hitting my face. I got up and started to run, everyone was laughing because it was so ridculous. I was getting done with the first mile and there was a lot of Novi kids in front of me. We rounded a sharp turn and one slipped. This caused a chain reaction of them to all fall. I was fortuante to be able to get around them. I finished the race with the time in the 20s but i was glad that i didn't break, sprain, or strain any part of my body on that rainy, muddy day.
