So, I feel a little bad, because being the "token male" of the group, I should have taken on some leadership and written first. Alas, I did not. Also, I have no pictures, which makes me a whole lot more boring.

I am failing already. Oh well.

I was trying to figure out something to write about, and settled on Convocation. Sadly, there is no category for that, so I picked "Extracurricular", seeing as you didn't have to actually go. If you didn't go, then I feel you missed out. If you didn't go because you have no school spirit and prefer to sit in your rooms doing nothing in particular, then that is your problem. I, on the other hand, thought it was pretty awesome.

The speakers were great. Not in that "OMG this is so profound" sort of way (though there was a little bit of that), but rather the speeches were short, sweet, and to the point. Funny without feeling disingenious. Then, of course, came the movie about what we can do to help our school, with The-Lion-King-meets-Prince-of-Persia, Disney-esque inspirational music that made me want to save a child from being hit by a bus, find the cure for cancer and fall in love all within a 10-minute time span. It was good: reversed graduation, kind of, but better.

Then, of course, came the Memory Walk - at least, I think that's what it was called. Anyways, hats off to the upper-classmen: I had no idea that was coming. I thought it was cool, personally. I was cracking jokes and feeling awkward just like everyone else, but overall, it was just nice to get a bit of respect for a few minutes. Maybe it's just me.

So, yes. I am now, along with everyone else, an official member of WWU. Congratulations to us all. Now all we have to do is not fail. Our classes, that is. This blog isn't graded or anything. Just so you know.

Edit: Yes, the bagpipes did, in fact, make the entire event. Thank you for noting my lack of detail.
