Reindeer Games 
It’s now the last day before winter break, and you know what that means! That’s right, today is Reindeer Games. For seniors, this is one of the days when you suddenly become very competitive and... spirited. In other words, seniors go crazy because this is our last Reindeer Games and our last chance to win (the class of 2012 won as juniors  last year, so who knows what’s going to happen now?). At this moment I’m trying to be objective and not say that seniors rule... but there’s no denying it. Now, how embarrassing will it be for me if we lose? Regardless, let’s go class of 2012!

Diploma Paper, Acceptance Letters 
Monday morning I was called down to the office to get my name confirmation paper for my diploma. It’s basically a sheet of paper with your first, middle, and last name printed on it and a space for you and your parent/guardian to sign to verify the spelling of your name that will be printed on your diploma. It was interesting to see how a generally insignificant piece of paper made the fact that we are graduating this year a little more real. In the past few weeks many students have been anxiously awaiting college acceptance letters to arrive in their mailboxes, and some have been finishing and sending out the last of their early action/early decision applications. For the college I’m working on now, I only have to send out my art portfolio before I hopefully receive an acceptance letter. Once I send my portfolio, I will have one acceptance, one pending, and two more applications to go.

Alumni College Fair and Winter Sports 
Last week was Gateway’s annual annual alumni college fair. This college fair gives students the opportunity to talk to Gateway students who have graduated in the past few years about the college they are attending. It’s different from other college fairs because students can get a first-hand account of what the college is like from people they know. It is also advantageous for seniors planning to attend a local community college, because schools like HCC, STCC, and BCC will give students who have filled out an application an instant decision on their admission. This week began winter sports season, which means mine and four friends’ final year of cheerleading. I can’t believe these next three months will be my last cheering for Gateway’s varsity basketball teams, but I’m excited to start. This also means it is time to balance school work with practice, which means working harder to finish homework before and after practice in a reasonable amount of time. Even though we are seniors, we still have to do homework and get good grades just like any other year!
