High School (Not A Musical)
This past Friday and Saturday, my speech team and I hosted our annual high school speech and debate tournament on campus. Here's a rundown, by the numbers:
980 - Dollars charged by my campus catering for morning beverages of coffee, tea, juice, water, and warm (supposed to be hot) chocolate
320 - High school students on our campus
240 - Donuts purchased each day for morning snack
232 - Trophies that were given away at the awards ceremony
150 - Bagel purchased each day for morning snack
80 - Teachers/coaches/parents that accompanied the students
20 - Length in inches of a teacher's hair - he wildly shook his hair while dancing on stage to "Bohemian Rhapsody," as part of the pre-awards time-killer musical listening enjoyment-fest
16 - Hours that I worked per day on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
14 - Hours that I worked per day on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
4 - High school coaches who helped me in the tab room
2 - High school coaches who helped me in the tab room who were effective
1 - Migraine headache that I had on Sunday
0 - Complaints from people on my campus - normally I get 3-10
Next January we're slated to host a high school tournament, and a college tournament - but not on the same weekend. I can't wait.

ASH:
You are special - so special that this teacher was trying to be as cool as you and Jess. (And I didn't say his hair was gorgeous...ugh, as in lee)
As Dwight Schrute once said, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Jim." And after Jim pulls out a bobblehead, Dwight adds, "Identity theft hurts thousands of families every year." Don't forget these little gems of wisdom.

Ummm.... Who does that guy think he is? ME? ASH? What a weirdo... I am glad that the song is still in the pre-show pre-funk.

Good times. Bohemian Rhapsody will forever be in my heart (insert dramatic hand gesture) thanks to the speech team.
And tacky shirts, but that's all you not the rest of the team.
PS I saw a guy at a Mcmenamins last weekend who looked like you.
PPS I don't think I saw your mother in law but I might've passed by her room...Did they give her a sock aid?

Scandal, all around. Armark is no better than a loan shark or the registrar.
Question.
Here I are.
