Winners

We all know what the most exciting day of every quarter is: the multiple-choice game. This day also brings about stress, fierce competition and dirty looks. For the third quarter, “Team Toast” could sadly not be together. Instead, Jillian, Kathryn, Mariel and I put our heads together and took on the other teams, which did not include the self-proclaimed “Dream Team.” As we stressed over questions, not sure which answer to use when we had various one, we came to quick conclusions, knowing that “Hesitation of any kind is a sign of mental decay in the young” (Wilde 45). Then, Ms. Serensky revealed the answers; everyone could see that it was a tight race. Each team had already missed a couple. Our group tried to remain enthusiastic and cheerful, even when we missed one, because “you have to laugh at the things that hurt just to keep yourself in balance” (Kesey 250). Finally, it came down to the last question and our team won. All I could think about were those ten extra credit points. We could hardly contain our excitement, ignoring the unhappy faces of our fellow classmates. Our victory was made even sweeter with the fact that the “Dream Team” had only come in third place in the other class. Of course, “anything, anything, anything is possible” (Currie 302).
