gotta love it here

As I dropped Jordan off at school I looked around to make sure there weren't any kids crossing in front of me. Of course, being my nosey nature, I took a quick scan of the kids walking into the school. There was Jordan, a couple kids dressed up for Rock Star day (homecoming week) and a guy wearing a cowboy hat. I love it. They can't wear hats in class but are allowed to wear them in the hall and I guess this guy couldn't go the morning without his stetson.

Homecoming week is really, REALLY big here. They have dress up days and different activities, like how many kids from each class can they cram into a vehicle, each class decorates a hall, and they have a parade. Each class has a float plus each sport has a float as well. They have two classes on Friday then the rest of the day is devoted to Homecoming. Yeah, they are major football fans here too. Our school parking lot (overflow as well) fills up before the game begins. They have around 1000 fans in attendance on a regular Friday night game. Yeah, I really don't get it. Jordan is excited to be getting out of classes on Friday and she will be riding on the soccer float.

Devan said his school isn't doing anything to celebrate homecoming or any sort of spirit week. Probably because the kids will split up into at least two different high schools.

Jordan had her last regulation game tonight. She was a beast. She played great. She had a rough start but has remained determined to get on Varsity next year. She averaged at least two shots on goal per game and her playing time increased to the point that she was getting tired and was thankful to be taken out. ;)

I am still unemployed. I will follow up with my recruiter tomorrow.

Well, I haven't been able to get my computer to communicate with my printer so I have to go to Kinkos to type a paper for Jordan. I type much faster than her.
