today was meet me at the pole!
it's a nationwide event where all the schools in the nation meet at their school's flag pole and they pray for the nation and for the schools around the world.
it's only once a year;;
i didn't go as a freshman and sophomore, b/c we have to get there at 7. and i thought that was waaay too early and a waste of my late start xD
but idk, this year, i decided to go :D
i woke up at normal time and i brushed my teeth/changed.
then i left for school
however, i got there at like 7:15
and when i got there, everyone was already there, singing and stuff
so i was like oh shooot, i'm LATEEE.
i didn't know they would be so punctual xD
what can i say? i'm asian.
asians are late. LOLLL
anyways, we sang songs w/ 3 people playing their guitars- the president of christian club (senior girl), and 2 guys (i think they're both underclassmen) :]]
after singing, we held hands around the flag pole and prayed for the school and the nation and that we'd be a light for God. it was freestyle praying, so you would just pray if you wanted to or if the spirit prompted you to :] but..i didn't pray x__x
after the group praying, we divided into 6 smaller groups to pray about our personal prayer requests.
then we had some food- bagels w/ cream cheese. i also had some orange juice (which explains why i had to go pee so badly later on in the day xD).
and then it was 8:15 and i had to leave even though school starts at 8:47 for us on late start days (every wednesday). i had to go do an ap chem lab at 8:15.
but i definitely do NOT regret going there today;; i was not tired at all for the rest of the day; i felt a great surge of energy through me.
of course, now it's like 9 pm and i'm tired xD
anywayss, i'm gonna do this next year!
and bring my sister w/ me since she's gonna be a freshman! hahah (:
meet me @ the pole (:
@ 9:02 PM
