Hmmm... I just got this email.

The following students were nominated by your class for the Homecoming Royal Court. Final elections will be Thursday during period 1B:

Brendan Forster
Andrew Harvey
Alex Isobe
Akiko Florence Minowa
Saya Signs
Rie Tai

Is this some kind of joke? Not only does no one know who I am but there aren't any of the popular kids in our grade nominated. We had the opportunity to drop out, but I thought that half the grade would be nominated, so I didn't bother. What the hell is going on?!

Oh well. We'll see what the results are before making too big a deal out of it. I used to not care enough, but suddenly I hate homecoming traditions.
