Usually, I find Spirit Week really irritating.

The weeks move so slowly after winter break that I'm usually not in such a good mood. I'm tired of waking up early, coming to school, doing homework, and sitting in classes full of teachers and students who are in just as lovely a mood as I am.

Remember all of those old High School movies? The ones that supposedly depict the average American High School where the cheerleaders, jokes, nerds, and dorks all fit into their own cliques. The school where there are no empty seats at home games for any sport and everyone in the crowd is dressed in school colors, shouting and cheering at the “big game.”
