Trivial Update

Illness has been waging a vile and ferocious war against me for the last few weeks, and it is finally reigning victorious. I stayed home from everything but chemistry on Wednesday and slept, fighting a sore throat, aching muscles, dry cough, and loss of appetite; the rest gave me the oomph to finish the week, but the common cold has caught up on me. The Thanksgiving cold is somewhat of a tradition for me, which leads my mother to postulate that it is allergy-related.

Our first basketball game--last Friday--went alright. We lost pretty bad due to a weak first half, but met most of our goals for the second. Our opponent was roughly the best team we will face this season (assuming we are not miraculously accredited and make it past districts onto state...which is disproportionately unlikely, but always possible). The last two games have been against roughly the easiest teams we will challenge, and have both been wins (yesterday's by fifty points). The climb is uphill from here, with quite a pivotal game on the 29th against a team we've never in the two year history of our Varsity program beaten. That could very well change quite soon...

Lions' Record: 2-1
