...One Year Later

Considering how I haven't updated this in over a year, it's safe to say that I have a lot to catch up on. Don't worry, I've still be working on my goals (although less vigorously than I maybe should have), and I have so many stories to tell. Rest assured that I will be posting frequently in these next several days.

I supposed a good place to start is with Goal #21, which would be The Scavenger Hunt. Way back in... October, was it? Yes, way back in October, our entire class decided to celebrate being high school seniors by having a team scavenger hunt the night before our last Spirit Day. 250 girls in about 50 cars speeding around and running around New Orleans in the middle of the night. In costume. Our group had to split into two teams, so we decided to be cowboys & indians. Just guess which team I ended up on.

I spent the night running around in my plaid shirt and sparkly cowgirl hat, proposing to Lucky Dog venders on Bourbon Street, searching graveyards for a grave with the name of me or one of my fellow cowgirls, dancing to Sandstorm in a grocery store parking lot, yelling "The British are coming!" down store aisles, jumping into freezing cold pools, and just generally wreaking havoc on the town. It was more fun than I'd expected, and at least where I come from, a scavenger hunt is pretty much a right of passage in high school. Unfortunately, we had to call it a night when all 250 of us showed up at Ihop (the ending point of the hunt) and tried to cram ourselves into one corner of the restaurant. The staff were not happy, we were not happy, and no one got breakfast. Oh well, it was worth it.
