SEA OLYMPICS

yesterday was sea olympics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you know how i explained in the beginning how everyone is divided up into "seas" which is like a certain group of rooms like deck 4 port side (me) we are the RED SEA and then the other side is a different sea and so on for each floor... there were 10 seas including the life long learners/staff/kids on the ship that participate..let me explain.. sea olympics=color war but with 10 teams... each sea was given a different color and we competed in sooo many different events.. each sea has two captains ours was my friend david stone aka stone and this other kid conner... sign ups for events happened lonnngg before the games began and like our sea just wasnt into it at all our llc (living learning coordinater) is like the worst of any sea on the ship bc she like doesnt do anything for us at all and all the other llcs got soo into it and basically my whole sea did not want to partcipate besides for a few of us of course.. we jut never knew what was going on or where to be or what to sign up for it was like soo unorganized... the night before was opening ceremonieseach sea had to do their team chant... we had NO idea we were supposed to do this... so all the seas come in the union with craaazzzzy decorated banners... team mascots.. like such loud cheers and formations and we had NOTHING. except for the ONE cheer our llc janelle taught us on the first day on the ship that went R-E-D S-E-A red sea red sea all the way!so thats what we didwe left there feeling so shitty lke we have no idea whats going on were gunna get murdered.... the dean announces that the winners get to get off the ship first in florida and elianas birthday is that day so i was SURE they were winning because she was threatening them ALL that they had to win hahaso one of the events we actually had to do somehting for was lipsyncing because we couldnt go up there with nothing and didnt want to make fools out of ourselves so about 9 of us stayed after and i coreographed a signing dance to the yellow submarine which was the song our captains selected out of a hat. (besdies im a professional at airband from my 8 summers  at vega) we did a silly dance (i have the whole thing on video) but this well come back to laterso by the end of that pratice we were fine and felt greatanother thing that HAD to be done well was synchronized swmmingand we have ALOT of boys in our sea... more than most other seas do.. so 4 of them insisted that they do itnow i had seen another group praticing early and theyw ere HISTERICAL so i challenged our boys cause the ones doing it are my really good friends and i told them they needed to make it funnnier than the other teams and they accepted the challenge but it was also 10 pm the night before they had to perform and they had nothing and the pool was closed so they couldnt pratice.. they say meet at deck 7 (pool) at 9 am adn they look at lili and i and said ... u guys are coming...wait i said... you guys dont have a song!!!! they were like oh yeah we need a song... and i had my ipod with me (which means i have a techno remix to every song possible) and is start thinking ... what kinda song has a story line/is a classic/will make people laugh... MY HEART WILL GO ON TECHNO REMIX.... i played it for the boys they said perfect done greatest thing everso we all call it a night and lili sets her alarm for 730 so she can get up and go to breakfast i set mine for 8 am because thats what time i usually get up and dont go up to breakfast... lilis alarm goes off at 730 am i JUMPPPP out of bed sooo excited for the day and lilis like omg please let me sleep and i just wake up and start coloring and making signs untill she gets up and we go to the school store and get red sas tshirts and cut them up and put on all our red gear bandanas tape ribbion my sequin hat everything! so great! then its allmost 9 so we go and meet the boys upstaris by the pool.. now this is their first time ever praticing and the actual event is scheduled for like 2 oclock..  theyre pratcing out of the water because another group is using the pool and the whole point was for them to be the first ones up to the pool so they can have dibs on it! so anyway all morning we got them to finalize the whole routine and it seemed pretty good and they were gunna be fine....then about 10-1030 the real events started...first was hula hoop and THE GIRL WHO SIGNED UP TO DO IT DIDNT SHOW UP so it was right infront of me and obviously i stepped in for her because i always rather do something myself then watch epople because i always think i can do it better than anyone else (haha) so anyway i was the first one out because we had to do it throwing a ball on one foot with hula hoops that werent even round they were like semi circular and it was retarded so i got out firstthen was limbo which me and lili signed up for but there were also other events going on at the same time so everyone was all over the place and all the sudden lili tells me shes not doing limbo anymore and instead is going do to the sponge thing and im like great lili thanks and im so embaressed to go limbo alone but i think i might beable to get my team a spot in this eventso that was my goaladn were going around and arund and my back starts to hurt and im dying and hurting and then its down to three and my friend lucas is like MOLLY SPREAD UR LEGS WIDE and i got down and started doing my crab walk under the limbo stickk and my whole belly hit the bar and so i got my team third place! which was better than nothing because we had not yet won an event...i go to report back to my team.. obv i had many supporters there at limbo but i go back to find out that lili and her crew got first place in the sponge relay! and that we had one first place win one second place and two third places before 1130 and all the sudden my whole team is like WOAH lets actually TRY now and maybe we can win!1130: TUG OF WARwho knew our sea had THE BIGGEST GUYS ON THE SHIP?!!?!?!?sooo out of the blue three massive guys come out and step into play tug of war and three pretty girls tooone team down... second team down... third team down... then it came down to us vs the adradic sea (white) who became our main competition for the day...WE TOOK THEM DOWN IN SECONDSand tottttally killed tug of war like in 5 minutes it was over and we took the winafter lunch we were in second place to the white teami cant even tell you how suprised we all were and all the sudden we like came together as a team and decided we can/are going to  do this!!! we were down like 40 points from white at lunch timefirst event after lunch was the singing sasers which was the lipsingwe went last which sucked because we had suchhh a silly routine to yellow submarine...teams weer coming out with thriller, lady gaga and we had YELLOW SUBMARINE AND WE ARE THE REDDDDDDD TEAM like that just doesnt make sense. the white team, they had spice girls and had 5 guys dress up as the different spcice girls and lipsync every word of the song... the room was cracking up dying and our mouths dropped like for sure for sure theyre taking the win for this... we were last and did our little gitty song and dance flawlessly but it wasnt as extravogant as theother groupsnext was synchonized swimming, i dont even remember which one was hte white team and what they did so that was good for us the boys we saw earlier werent as funny as the other day and let me tell you... SOMEONE SPRINKLED SOME MAGIC DUST ON OUR TEAM BECAUSE OUR BOYS KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEDDDD it in the swimming they were perfectly in unison didnt miss a beat everything was perfect they were histerical and amazing i cant wait to show you the video of thatso our team is now SO PUMPED UP one event left to go... apache relayi was doing flip cup and we were pratcing for sooo long just flipping cuups and all the sudden dver shows up passes me the tshirt (baton) and ew were off boom boom boom boom four in a row we finished the flip cup i POWER WALKED (be were not aloud to run) to the tieniments square for the last event to finish off the relay we picked up a fish with a magnet and then ran straight into the union for our final time 7:31 ... then the second heat went... the first team finished at 7:33 which meant we got first place in apache by 2 secondsand that was sea olympics.. delish barbeque outside by the pool with veg burgers fruit desert corn potato skins everything u could think of sooo nicely set up by our wonderful crew and then we all anxiously awaited 8 pm for closing ceremonies where we did a final cheer and they announced the winners of the lipsyncing, synchronized swiming, spirit points, banner and of course over all winner..lipsinigng we took a tie for second place- adriatic (white) got NOTHING we were sooo shockedspirit we got nothing.. cause we really didnt have alot of team spirit from the start so wasnt suprised adriatic took third..
