If so, why didn't make just one more appearance m ' . e out of thts'? Many of these had been asked of me, yet staff wasn't sure of the answers them- selves. So much forthe Cosmic certainty. THE ENVELOPE PLEASE. To my thrill and surprise, I made it to the top five nominees which meant I'd be in the Queens court. Alleluia! But here's where I wanted to get off the bandwagon, 'cause I'd reached my destination.' The whole Homecoming evening, in- cluding the ceremony, was amusing. Looking as if we were ready more for a debutante ball than a half-time cere- mony, we tried to cheer for our team as best we could without moving a hair or getting dirt on our outfits. Despite the cold benches and chilly weather, we got into the spirit ofthe game. Of course, there were those suffering from a feeling akin to what a lobster feels within two feet of a radar range, but the majority of us took it as it was meant to be taken, an experience simply to enjoy. Knowing that Michelle Sanchez was going to win jMicheIIe was about the only one who didn'tj, I concentrated on the ancient art of walking into the field like a normal human being without trip- ping and dragging my escort down. Un- beknownst to the sports fans, the mood on the field was not of a solemn, cere- monial manner. Behind the smile plas- tered on my face, I was dying over the comments said throughout the cere- mony by various nominees. I think the humor helped us all get through it. Was it worth going through all that hassle and preparation to put on a half- time show? l'm glad I was able to par- ticipate in such a glamorous event be- cause it enabled me to see different aspects of the Mitty community. But I can honestly say that I would not go through it again. - Shana Waarich -
