Day 144: Loss of Spirit

     Grey dress
     Today was supposed to be "Jimmy Neutron" day which would give the student body the task of dressing like nerds.  This spirit day had been very popular among Monte Vista students for a while.  It means that we can all look like idiots (or sluts, in the case that you are a certain type of freshman girl) and not get ridiculed at all just because it is so much fun to wear big glasses, running shoes with jeans, and drag a rollie backpack around school.
     BUT, the administration decided to alter Jimmy Neutron day into "superhero day" because they didn't want to hurt the feelings of those who actually dress like nerds.  Umm, I'm sorry... What?
     Now id I had time and energy, I would fight this and march into offices with strongly worded letters and petitions, but you have to pick your battles.
     So, I had more of a personal strike.  I just didn't dress up for a spirit day.  A lot of people ended up dressing up like nerds anyways, and I respect that.  Once they start to cancel days like hippie day because it could "potentially be a drug reference", then Ill step in and yell about how utterly ridiculous it is to earase history.  Until then, Ill silently continue to think wearing jeans with running shoes is comfortable, though never something you should EVER wear as a fashion statement.
