Homecoming!

Greetings!
I apologize for the long delay between posts, but the past couple of weeks have been extremely busy, this week especially, since it was homecoming week!  There were a tremendous number of events this week that were both competitive, between fraternities, clubs and such, and other events not so competitive.
Unfortunately, I was not able to participate in all the activities because of my schedule (here's the link to all of the events: http://gtalumni.org/homecoming_events) but some of them were just fun to watch.  There was a game of tag throughout the entire week that used squirt guns, which was hilarious; also there was a scavenger hunt over the campus (for which my friend planted a fake clue for, and it worked).  Each team got so many points for each of these events and the teams were some dorms, clubs, fraternities and sororities.
The two events which were amazing was the freshman cake race and the Wreck parade.  The freshman cake race was held at 6:30 in the morning and you had to run about half a mile all the way up freshman hill.  The winner got a kiss from Mr./Mrs. Georgia Tech and the second and third place got full cakes.  The rest of the contestants got cupcakes.  The Wreck parade, which I marched in, took place a little while after the cake race and consisted of various designs and contraptions that were judged by three judges.
There was also the homecoming game vs BYU, which sucked since we lost, however, we made an epic 100-yard return which hasn't been done in a really long time!

Anyway, thats all I have for now, I'm gonna try and make sure I update this weekly, so stay in tuned!
