Alright everyone... it's spirit week here at BYUI! To some, that means absolutely nothing... but to my roomies and I, it means an excuse to celebrate the fabulous school we attend and just be silly.The spirit rally was last night. Every ward is a different color, and 50 people from each ward run a relay, each person runs a lap around the track. AND- as for the rest of the ward that doesn't get to run, they are up in the stands cheering for their ward. Just imagine a filled BYUI stadium full of different colored wards screaming for an hour and a half as their ward runs a relay. It's a wonderful thing. The 31st ward always wins, they're good... i'm not gonna lie! Married wards even did it too this year... BUT- they only had to do 30 laps! WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!!! when you get married to you instantly lose your ability to run so you get to cheat?!!!! It sounded a little fishy to me! SO- my ward this year... unforunately = no bueno. They didn't sign us up!!!! My roomies and I were naturally very upset about this. sooo... about 10 of us took it upon ourselves to sign ourselves up. So, we signed up the 18th ward about 10 minutes before the relay and declared our color pink! Now, remember the part about 50 laps??? yeah- we had no where near 50 people so... let's just say we all got our work out last night running multiple laps each! BUt boy oh boy did we finish that relay and we were dang proud of it! It really was SO fun, and it was a nice night and if you ask me, the people from my ward that didn't sign up were misssssssing out!
I don't know when the last time your ran on a track was... but one lap is longer than it looks!!! So I start off sprinting, everyone is cheering and I'm super pumped and the adreneline is goin... then about half way around the track, the smile leaves and i'm like... crap this is no sprint man- i'm getting tired. There are tons of people on the side of the track so I try to force a smile when I run, but I'm really just trying to force the oxygen into my body and breath hard so I have like this crazy "i'm trying not to look tired" look on my face, as I run with my pink pom pom for our baton. hahahaha, it was a comical night.
Yay for college and random crazy stuff that makes me feel like I don't have anything to worry about atleast for an hour or two :)
