Home of the Red and Blue

Senior year is, naturally, a year of lasts.

This past week was my last, and favorite, Homecoming Week.

I've always felt that Homecoming is one of the prime weeks of the school year. It's almost like Christmas. Everyone is just very jolly. I have to give a huge thumbs-up to O'Hara for an awesome Homecoming Week. Everything from a pep rally to a contest to be the mascot to Clash Day (look for pictures tomorrow) to Spirit Day was a blast.

I tried to take in as many of the Homecoming festivities as I could, this being
(sadly) my last chance to do so. After a lovely Homecoming Mass last night, a jovial student section crowded into the bleachers for a bonfire and then migrated into the cafeteria for the annual Homecoming Dance. I shuffle up a storm with my friends before retiring home for the night.

Unfortunately, I had to skip the football game this afternoon. (Way to go, Lions! a 60-24 win over Carroll does a student body good.) I'm leading a Kairos retreat this week and I have a lot (a lot, I mean a lot) to do. Speaking of which, I'd better get back to that. Until the future!
