Long title I'm sorry. But there's a lot of content here, they might have to make it into two movies. Ahahahahahaha.
Ok, so this first one was at Fairview Elementary on the night of the Friday Night Jam, otherwise known as FNJ, and it was supposed to be Alexis and I working for free food behind the counters, like handing out the food and that kind of thing. But it was also a chance to see my favorite school on the face of the earth. I was pretty excited and 6:00 could not come fast enough.
When it did and we showed up the first thing I noticed was that Baillee and Alyssa both had dyed hair. Alyssa's perfectly black, and Baillee's her bangs were just died and her hair inserts we bought at the mall were in. We caught up on things, chatted and got our food. There were people I recognized like Quentin, Baillee and Alyssa. A few people I'd seen but never actually knew like Marcus and Cameron who were a grade below me and were in the fifth grade with Baillee and Alyssa. Baillee and I chatted while Alyssa was on her "shift." I felt pretty grown up using that word all the time, like it's time for my 'shift.' Or let's get going and do our 'shift.' I kept glancing at the door looking for Alexis to come in, but she didn't. I finally saw her step dad and Frankie and Kenna, her little siblings. And my first guess was that she was in line getting food. There was a lot of people so after about 10 minutes I kinda figured maybe the line was really long. But when Baillee dragged me out of the gym, and went out to start our 'shift', I saw the line really wasn't that long. And then I knew she bailed on me.
But when we started our shift, it became a battle between nachos(me) and hotdogs(Baillee), I would have done the hotdogs because all you had to do was hand them out to people but Quentin said that eighth graders have to work the nachos because of the hot cheese. But then after awhile I kinda think he was foolin' me and just wanted me to get stuck with the hard job so he could come harass me for doing a bad job.
But anyway, the battle, everytime someone would walk past I would hold my ladel of cheese dripping and smile and nod at the person and say, "you know you want some nachos." They would either be like, uh nooo. Or ew, and make a face, because even though I was Team Nacho, they were pretty gross looking, and the cheese smelled really bad. Then Baillee would respond by taking a hotdog and shoving it in front of my ladel and say, "no way you want a hotdog." It went farther and farther, until they were talking MONEY here, saying like "If you pay me a dollar I will give you a hotdog for free!" Which doesn't make sense. Or "You can get a 2 hotdogs for the price of ONE nachos!" Which was true, but weirdly enough more people bought the nachos then the hotdogs. At first I was so bad at pouring the cheese into the little plastic container that I gave Marcus one and I was laughing and I was like HOLD IT FROM THIS END, and faced the non drippy cheese end toward him. 5 minutes later he comes back with a fake angry expression, "I need a napkin." And he has cheese all down his hand, I laughed again, and said "I TOLD you to hold it from THAT end!" And pointed to it again, "And plus, I don't know where any napkins are! I don't sell napkins, I sell NACHOS." And then he walked away, 5 more minutes later, he comes back up "I found a napkin."
Then Quentin does the same thing, only it gets on the side of his pepsi can. Finally I was like "I DON'T SELL NAPKINS! I SELL NACHOS!" Someone gives me a weird look as they pass by, and I go "Want some nachos?? You know you do."
And this whole time I'm getting cheese on my gloves and it's getting inside my gloves and making my hands all cheesy and sweaty, and finally I'm sweating over the bowl of cheese, and all I want to do is run outside with a bag of ice and rub it all over my face and get away from this cheese!
Even though that cheese was the scariest cheese I've ever dealt with in my entire life, it was super fun.
And even though Alexis bailed on me, it was still super fun.
And even though this little kid got his fingers pinched in a door and was screaming for like 10 minutes before my mom helped him(this is how LOUD and crazy it was, a little kid couldn't even be heard screaming) it was STILL super fun.
Now get this, I have another story! MORE CONTENT PLEZ!
So that night I had to go to bed like a school night, 10 o clock, lights out because I was getting up super early in the morning to go to an MSU football game when the kick off wasn't even until 12:00.
When we woke up we had to go to my school to meet up with Mrs. Walker who was our chaperone for the hope scholars to go to the football game. I knew Alexis wasn't coming (she bailed on the game too (she told me on Friday before the jam) even though she was like the first one to hurry and run and turn in the permission slip apparently she'd rather go to her dad's which is fine) so I was planning on hanging out with Katlin, she's nice and quiet and Cassandra was gonna hang out with Mariah and Samaria.So I was like, hey what the heck.
We got there around 8:00 in the AM because that's the time that the slip said to be there, even though I told my mom that Ms. Cheadle on the announcements said to be there around 8:30, we still got there in the early of the morning.
Just to find that army people had invaded our school, apparently they were having a ceremony for veterans. . . . . . . . .at 8 IN THE FLIPPIN' MORNING???
There was a couple of older gentlemen in front smoking, and my mom goes up and asks them,
"Do you know if there is another program inside?"
"I haven't the foggiest idea." Haha, foggiest idea, I didn't know people REALLY said that!
"Oh, well do you know if there are any people in there not for the army thing?"
"Oh sure, there are rafts of people in there." What kinda language was this??
We get in there and there's Josh Blake and some other girl who plays clarinet she's in the duck skit for the talent show.
They're saying how they've been here and Mrs. Walker is no where to be found. More army people come in, and my brother starts talking to them, about swords and weapons and stuff.
Steadily people from our group start to come in, and by like 8:05 a bus comes in and I go and say hey look a bus! And everyone starts running toward it, maybe Mrs. Walker's on it?? And we mob outside and my mom asks the lady if it's our bus and she says no. Awwwwwwwwwwww.
Instead she helps off a disabled person into the school and drives away and now we're all outside because we're all too lazy and tired to go back inside. A couple of us go sit on the cement benches, and they're cold. After like 20 minutes we go back inside because it's cold. We mess around and watch the people still outside play and more people come, and finally at 8:40 Mrs. Walker comes up, and we're like HEY!! Oh my GOSH! WHY ARE YOU SO LATE!!
Apparently she wasn't late, we were just unnessecarily early. We were probably just getting there when she was WAKING up! Appalling, I know.
So we finally get everything situated and we get to MSU, and then we get to eat breakfast. WHOO! Quentin keeps talking about how he wants waffles, and I start to thinking, mmmm waffles sound good. BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THEM!! They just have icky tasting scrambled eggs, a han sandwich which I didn't get, but Katlin said was nasty, some sausage, and tater tots.
The only thing remotely good was the tater tots. Then an MSU student starts coming over to our table and sits down, she asks us what we like to do, what we want to be, and basically asks us about our whole life. Leaving breakfast I feel as if I've been interviewed. We go onto a seminar thing and some athletes tell us about their times at college like how long they have to practice and how college is so fun. Around 11:15 we leave and start walking toward the stadium, by the time we get settled, I'm sitting next to Katlin and Quentin, and I have the TALLEST ATHLETES SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! It was like that until half time, when they left. But as soon as I sit down I realize that I have to use the bathroom so bad! But I get through until around half way through the second quarter. Then Katlin and I were like lets go get our free hotdogs, and I HAVE TO FIND A BATHROOM! So we go to get our hotdogs, and I get mine, unwrap it and start to head for the ketchup. I was trying to get the ketchup out but I was like WHAT THE HECK! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!! And finally I pressed the top so hard it squeezed out onto my hotdog wrapping and partly on my hotdog bun, so I was like ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's how you work it! So I have to position my arm totally backwards and underneath the spout and I'm almost doing a limbo number, and pressing it really hard trying to get the ketchup out. I finally got it out but there was too much on it. And it was all in the wrapper and EVERYTHING.
But then I figured we should have found a bathroom before we got our hotdogs. But Katlin didn't need to use the bathroom so I set my hotdog and drink on my coat and went inside. GUESS WHAT?? THE BATHROOM WAS HEATED! When I got out, I came out through the entrance. Dummy. When I came out I grabbed my stuff and found that there was ketchup on the BRAND NEW WHITE T-SHIRT THEY GAVE US! I mean I know I'm a little messy when it comes to eating food, but this was the dispenser's fault. I hadn't even put it ON yet and it already had stuff on it! A new record for me. When we got back up I finished my hotdog and drink and I noticed now that I was comfortable and no longer miserablish, I enjoyed myself a lot more, it seemed to turn sunny and the athletes had left, and they had a really cool half time show. Then Katlin had to use the bathroom about 3 quarters of the way through the 3rd quarter. Samaria was texting me from two rows up begging me to buy her some popcorn. I was like fine, I'm getting up anyway, so I figured I would buy her some. I did, and when we got back she was like here toss it. So I did, and it was a little off, and apparently it hit the guy in front of her's head. When the game was over, (MSU won 31 to 8), we came back and went home.
Then my aunt was over while my uncle rotatilled our garden, and a few times she tried to thief our candy.
But now I'm really tired and this blog post took me like an hour, so you better have liked it.
And then GUESS WHAT ELSE ELSE?
Tomorrow I'm splattering my dresser! It's gonna look so cool!!!
Waited forever for tomorrow I think I'm tired of waiting,
Delaney
