Oh, so maybe it wasn’t that bad.

Sports day yesterday wasn’t as bad as I originally expected, there was much waiting around - but that seamed to go quickly (and the day was more fun than lessons, contrary to my expectations). I took part in the form relay, since the girl who was original going to didn’t want to so they needed someone else, and I think I did fairly well helping the team to catch up even though we had fallen badly behind due to our first runner (we ended up coming fourth out of six teams in the race we did). Members of my form also took part in the shot putt (where we got full points) and the long jump. We then went on to do orienteering, this isn’t a traditional sport and wasn’t the most fun thing I’d done all day - needless to say, cheating was easy, and we lost due to our teacher prohibiting us from cheating like the other groups did. We also did badminton and football (although the format of both could have been improved).

After lunch we went outside and sat on the bank of the field and watched the house track events, I ended up doing the tug of war since we had insufficient competitors and was pushed into doing it by some of the people in my house. We won the first go, but lost on the second one. I had a nice time overall, and lots of other people did too (except, of course, the kids who had a miserable outlook of the day and were unwilling to participate - but they were bound to still be unhappy no matter what).
