My First Week of High School

All righty, I know you are all DYING to hear about Magnificent Mikayla's first week of high school... Let's just say it involved my first F in Civics, a car in a lake, and spandex. I know, I know, you're all TOTALLY interested. So lets start from the beginning, shall we? We shall.

My Civics teacher, the one and only Mr. Fulton (name has been changed to protect the innocent)spent the first day telling all 58 people in my Pre-AP/ Honors Civics class that we WILL fail our Civics pretest, and not to worry, the highest score last year was 41%. Okay....
So yesterday I got my pretest back. There were a total of 50 questions. I got 15 correct, earning me a total of 30%. I was SO proud of myself (my goal was a 4%)!!! That was all fine and dandy.

On... when was it... oh yes, Thursday, a rumor was started in my school. Apparently, someone had driven a car into the lake on the west end of campus near the ampitheater. Personally, I thought it was a load of dung (I'm SO British) and I basically ignored the rumors.
Lo and Behold, on Friday, there was a story in the local paper about a car that had driven into the lake on the west end of campus. Based on the reports, the young man that drove the car was fishtailing and lost control of his car, causing it to end up in a lake. However, the young man and his friends continue to claim that "the brakes went out." Haha, sure.

I am on the Freshman Volleyball team, and I'm having so much fun! Last night, we had our first game, and we won!!! WOOT WOOT! Some of you may not know a lot about the game of volleyball, so I'll tell you this....
There are 6 players on the court at all times unless there aren't 6 girls to play (ie, one got hurt and can't play anymore, one isn't there, etc.). There is one ball, and your team has three chances to get the ball over the net. It can be very simple. Anyway, as with most organized sports, there are jerseys that match. As a league requirement, everyone must wear some type of pants (obviously). The players all have to wear... (I know Hannyloulou will roll around laughing) black spandex. Spandex is a type of cloth that attaches to you like a leech, so going out in public wearing spandex is somewhat similar to going to school in your swimming suit. Some of us are just not okay with that.
However, I wanted to play, so I wore them anyway... It actually wasn't too bad.... Take away the fact that we all got really sweaty on the bus so we looked like we'd just been in a swimming pool, and there were a bunch of guys in the crowd, and it's really not a big deal.... :)
Our team won, and it was great! The spandex wasn't too bad, and it was a lot of fun!!! Toodles!
