A little late, but eh.
Bear Pascoe Day:
Bear Pascoe Day was definitely one to remember. Let's recap: the rally was held in the amphitheater where all of the students waited for Bear's arrival.
When Bear was giving his speech, you could feel the change in atmosphere.You could tell that each and every one of the students were in awe at Bear Pascoe's journey. Bear's message was plain and simple: just because you come from a small town, small high school, it doesn't mean that you won't make it far. Bear's career is the perfect example of that.
Spring Sports Rally:
I can honestly say that I wasn't that happy with the Spring Sports Rally; I'm content. It represented the Spring Sports athletes really well. Actually, let me rephrase that. It's not that I wasn't happy with the rally itself, I'm just not too happy with the audience, with the students. It seemed to me that there wasn't a lot of support and "spirit". It may be due to the fact that the rally may have been "boring" or "not that exciting", but come on-__-.
ASB works really hard on these rallies; the least that the audience can do is clap. SMH.
Grizz Games:
OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH. For the first time in all of my four years, I'm on a team. I'm excited but at the same time...I don't even know, nervous? .__.
It'll be fun, I already know it! :)))
I'm really hoping that everyone will enjoy this week!

Another Blunder?
So I heard that the Neon Explosion Dance wasn't that great - "lame" to be exact. -____-
That's a little disappointing. I wasn't able to go because I was out of town for family.
Because of the terrible turnout of this dance, there is a higher chance that we might not
even have a black light dance. Yes, I am very serious. Serious face ---> -.-
I do have to say that it is somewhat our, as in Student Council as a whole, fault.
Besides the fact that we did not get approval from the "head honcho" until a little later than
expected/desired, we did not advertise this dance as well as we should have.
HOWEVER, although this dance wasn't a success, I still have hope for upcoming events.
BY THE WAY! Powder Puff, girls? Is that a yes? Or is it a yes? :)

Valentine's Day Dance!
Awesome. Just awesome.
So the Valentine's Dance is FOR SURE a go! (Well, that is, of course, if certain things get done.) I am so happy! Every year, there is a Valentine's Dance - tradition is kept here!
The only upsetting thing that usually happens is the lack of students at our dances. WHAT MORE DO KIDS WANT?! I always hear "Granite sucks; we never have anything going on." And blah, blah, blah. However, when we DO have dances, hardly anyone shows up. -___- Very upsetting.
I actually LOVE our dances - the music is great! Especially when we have our amazing DJ, Gaby! She's so awesome, I just wish that everyone would appreciate her as much as I do!
It truly is all up to the person though when it comes to our dances. You can be extremely lame and have your back on the wall or you can have the best time ever. IT'S A CHOICE. It really is! Even if the music isn't "poppin'" or there really isn't a lot of people dancing, it's up to the person to determine whether that $5 that they spent at the door is truly worth JUST STANDING THERE for a good two and a half hours. Come on people!
Goodness, kids these days.

SHE Strikes Again -__-
So I am a little upset. Last year in ASB, our class had the opportunity to go to [insert name of] Convalescent home and decorated for Valentine's Day. We bought Valentine's balloons and made a little under a hundred lovey-dovey cards. We came a little before it was time for them to eat (lunch, I'm going to assume) and just went all out for them.
The "old folks" really enjoyed it. I even had the chance to have a heart-to-heart with one of the older ladies. It was honestly really depressing actually. She confessed to me that the rest home is "very lonely" and that she doesn't get a lot of visits - rarely in all reality. (Yes, I did forget her name which I feel bad about.) She also told me that she loved what we did for not only her, but for the rest of her neighbors; seeing them conversing with people, enjoying the attention really gave way to a better outlook for what time they had left.
AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THIS AGAIN IS JUST TERRIBLE. Due to it being "last minute," ASB will not be able to do this. It is also because we would not be able to get out of class and students would not be able to drive students. I'm certain, however, that some counselors/teachers who are not busy during fourth period would not mind taking us to the rest home and back. It truly is a heartwarming experience that everyone in their life should go through (a little dramatic, but whatevers).

It's Spirit Week!
To show how much appreciation not only Student Council, but as a school as a whole, has for all Winter Sports athletes, we're having a Spirit Week! On Monday, we're jammin' with basketball - we wore Pajamas. On Tuesday, to support all Winter athletes, we FAKED an injury and wore band aids, casts, crutches, etc. I found it extremely awesome that a student actually brought a wheelchair. I now have to find out who that was :)
On Wednesday, Soccer is going to hit them so hard, they are going to see multiples - students tried to match with as many friends as they could! After so many frustrations and "OH SHOOT's" with mishaps with paint, ten of my friends and I all pulled off "SWAG" sweaters. On Thursday, wrestling is going to slam them so hard, we're sending them back to history - students are going to wear togas! (I just hope that it won't be too cold that day.) On Friday, students are going to rock school colors!
This week shall be awesome. I am really hoping the Winter athletes will feel the love <33

Upcoming Rallies ;D
Even though graduation seems to become closer and closer for the class of 2012, there is so much more to do, to work on, to create! We have four rallies coming up: the winter sports rally, the spring sports rally, Battle of the Sexes, and the Senior rally. I can feel the stress, worry, and exhaustion already building, but in the end, I know that it’ll all be worth it!
It’s really cool that, like the fall sports athletes, the winter and spring sports athletes are finally going to be recognized this year. It is not ONLY football that is being appreciated and I can honestly say that this change was the best one made.
I can not say it enough; I love, love, love, love, love the Battle of the Sexes rally. It is just another opportunity to show that girls are WAY MORE SUPERIOR to boys ;) Guys on one side of the gym and girls on the other; the very best time to let all the stereotypical insults to come flying out. But, literally, all of the “make me a sandwich, woman” remarks do not start at the rally, it initially starts when everyone in ASB are painting the signs. Brainstorming for all the rally necessities is so fun because all of a sudden there is this tension and rivalry between the guys and the girls. But of course, these rude statements are only “acceptable” for this special occasion. ;)
Senior rally? We’re not graduating this year, what the heck? |:,’
Gosh, I am so excited, like unbearably excited for this rally. One of my favorite parts about it is when they show how much the students have changed from when they walked the halls as freshmen to the now, fully changed seniors. Putting this rally together, I know, will bring every one so much more closer. It’s the realization that this is actually happening. This is real.
