Go MERAPI!!!

Thursday was MADNESS DAY!!! It was an awesome day... one of the best days of this school year. In Madness day, there were 6 volcanos; Merapi, Bromo, Agung, Krakatau, Salak and Rinjani. I was in Merapi, which wore the green color. Each person had to participate in 2 activities, and I got chosen in volleyball and big ball soccer.

The first session was volleyball, which was a really fun sport. Merapi first played Bromo, which was not a easy match. They had a really tall and good Korean player, who was at least 20 cm taller than me. We were winning really bad until... the Korean guy served. He made 7 serves in a row, and they overtook us, and they won 16: 14, after going in deuce. We lost our first match so I was disappointed. Next match was Salak. They weren't really good, so we won by about 8. We also won by 5 the next match, which were Rinjani. The last match, we faced Krakatau. We lost 15: 11. They were soooo good, and they came in 2nd place. We came in 4th place, Bromo came 1st, and I'm not sure about Salak and Agung.

After the 15 minute break, I had big ball soccer. This was better than the volleyball, because soccer is my favourite sport. We used the BIG BALL for the soccer ball, and it was really difficult to kick!!! Lots of people fell down, and when I faced Bromo, I got hit with the enormous ball two times in a row. It really hurt. We tied all our games 0:0 so I was disappointed. I almost scored at the first match, because when I scored, the finish whistle blowed 2 seconds ago. Krakatau came first, and we came 4th (I think).

After another break, we headed down to the New Gym, to watch the Student v.s. Teacher basketball game. For the 6th grade, the students won. For the 7th and 8th grade, the students won again!!! I thought this would never happen... but it did! I hope I participated in this, but I forgot to sign up. Then, Mr. Boots told us who won the Madness Cup. "Come on Merapi... Come on!!!" I thought. Well, THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

This is the list...
1. Agung
2. Krakatau
3. Bromo
4. Salak
5. Rinjani
6. MeRaPi!!!!!
We came LAST place. I knew this would happen, because we came 5th place at the Madness 1. Agung got the trophy, but we will definitely win the next Madness!!! Go MERAPI!!!!!!!!!

Madness day is clearly one of the best days of the year. I feel sorry for those who leave school early and miss the day.

News flash: RINJANI wins the cup in June. Don't cry, you or Happy Bunny.

Nice post, and be sure to keep checking the posts of others.

Be well, Si Won,
