We Are The Champions (of AP English 12 8th period)

Cat dedicated To Mariel ^^

The best day by far was the 3^rd quarter multiple-choice game day. My team (Kathryn M., Kelly O., and Mariel M) won if you had forgotten. There was suspense as usual, but our team was confident.  We still had our doubts though – Sarah Greenlaw with her National Merit Award was still giving us grief.  But, we just remembered, “there is always doubt and fear, even among philosophers, fanatics, and triple amputees” and even AP English 12 students. And, in the end, we won, “At last!” (Wilde, 54).  We knew we had a good chance, considering the characteristics of our team.  Mariel continually said, “’They’re wrong,’” they’re all wrong. She didn’t actually, but considering she got the highest score, she could’ve said this with no protest from anyone (Currie, 136). So, after all of our hard work (and Mariel’s genius mind) and contemplation of what metaphysical conceit meant, we won. This was not only the best day of English, but also possibly my life (kidding, I’m not that obsessed). But, I can truly say, that for the first time in English class, I was “in a state resembling happiness” (Currie, 196). We were so excited that we won, we busted out of the classroom bragging to everyone. Of course the Dream Team was bitter about losing; they were probably saying demeaning things to us females such as, they “rise to play, and go to bed to work” (Shakespeare, 2.1.113). But, obviously by winning, we proved them wrong. Thus, when the 4^th quarter game occurs this week, you know what team will win again, and hopefully, it will be even better the second time around.
