Hey guys. It’s that time of year again, when AP exams start coming up quickly on the calendar and senioritis is starting to set in nicely. Naturally, our biggest worries for the first two weeks of May do not have to do with free response questions, game theory or close analysis of poetry. As seniors, we are brainstorming on ideas for what to do for the roughly fifteen hours we are blessed enough to spend in the small gym with Mr. Ciasulli.
Let’s face it. Napping only gets you so far, and most of us don’t even have Block Dude on our calculators. (If you have a TI cable, let us know.) Hand turkeys are like, so Thanksgiving of second grade, and writing “This is Sparta” on your test and crossing it out was never cool anyway. Worst-case scenario, we’ll raise our heads from the puddle of drool that’s collected on our desks and actually take the test for lack of something better to do.
Meanwhile, we have a fresh set of elected student representatives to figure out how to solve all the school’s problems. It’s been a pretty heated campaign season, but we think Costa picked the right people for the weighty tasks to be taken on. We don’t know all of your new leaders personally, but they sure look like they can plan the hell out of a blood drive. And maybe, just maybe, they’ve got the grit to make a winter dance happen.
Even though we couldn’t vote last Friday, we can critique the plentiful and colorful campaign materials that have littered the campus for the past few weeks. We’re pretty sure that Trent Fujii hired Karl Rove for his campaign staff to work some fear tactics by the way. That bomb poster had some pretty serious subliminal messaging going on.
Anyway, the year’s not over yet and there’s plenty left on the calendar. One of our own is rockin’ the stage in “All Shook Up,” so we’ll shamelessly plug that. We promise the basketball game with MMN is still going down, post APs, and La Vista is definitely going to bring the Scholar Quiz heat as well. In the words of Blake Griffin, “It’s about improvement and growth on a consistent basis.” Tough it out, Costa.
