The main topic of everyone's conversations today is Homecoming or the lack there of. So since our homecoming always takes place the first or second Saturday in December, the weather is never very good. Every year since my freshman year has been ridiculously icy. There are always rumors of blizzards and the cancellation of the dance/game. This, however, has never happened. They have both always continued on as planned.
This year the weather-people are saying that we will have a winter storm advisory on Saturday. Rain, snow, ice, wind. The whole shebang. The organizers of the dance are worried that due to the possible formidable conditions, the roads will be too bad for around two hundred people to drive all the way to Armstrong. So, to prepare for this, they are thinking of having a casual dance after the Homecoming Game on Friday. This would be something similar to Freshman Dance. This is just a thought. This does not mean that Homecoming will be on Friday. Think of it as a pre-Homecoming. If the weather is not bad on Saturday, the dance will be as scheduled.
I have heard two things about the actual Homecoming dance. I heard from a reliable source that, if the dance is canceled, then Homecoming will be rescheduled to some date after Christmas break. I have also heard, from a not-so-reliable source who heard from a semi-reliable source, that if they cancel it, there is no other weekend for them to have it. Thus, there will be no Homecoming.
I'm not sure on any of this. I'm just soooooo sick of all of the spazzing about it. Please please please spread the word.
My apologies,
