Tomorrow is my B'day!

Yay!

But this isn't about tomorrow, this is about today!

Which happened to be the athletics carnival at school!

So, I forgot my umbrella on the way to school and it poured, but I decided to play it optimistic and kept walking, laughing and singing to myself. "It wasn't that cold!" I said as I trudged through the rain in the middle of Winter without an umbrella or jacket... It had stopped raining when I got to school, lucky me!

Next, I watched as people turned up in the craziest costumes. I hadn't dressed up, instead choosing to marvel at the multitude of fancy suits, morph suits and the like. There were 2 monkey and one Pikachu onesies along with a storm trooper and a vast array of tutus.

That early optimism had prevented me from being like one of my friends who had also been caught in the rain. I was happy I was at school, even though I could have been at home watching YouTube videos. She was somewhat miserable, understandably.

Soon the events started. I wasn't competing, so I waited for the participation events to start. The first one was the Thong Toss! It's not what you think! Unless you think that the "thong" I'm talking about is a flip-flop, in which case it's exactly what you think! It's exactly what it sounds like otherwise. You toss a flip-flop as far as you can. It's the first time I've ever tried it!

The second and final participation event was a set of ball games! Over-Under, Tunnel Ball and Captain Ball! Very basic games, and they were quite fun, and I got to talk to people I don't normally.

Then I went and got some cotton candy. Yep, my school has a cotton candy machine! I have no idea why, they just do, and they made the most of it today! There was rarely a moment when the girls manning the thing weren't busy, sticking the sweet, sticky strands on the sticks they had.

So I sat down and watched the bubbles that someone had brought float by. I had brought my drawing book today, something which I don't normally do because it does contain a few of my secrets. I was so glad I brought the thing because that's what I spent most of the day doing! All the while, music played. I sang along with my favorite songs and enjoyed my day.

Then it was time to go home. It started lightly raining, but it was sunny, and as I looked at my surrounding I spotted a rainbow. What a way to top it all off! I spent the rest of the walk home singing my songs and happily contemplating life.

What a day!

This blog post is a massive mood swing from my last one... Much, much better!
