Literary Rally and "Out of this World" Dance

On Saturday morning, I woke up early and drove to Southeastern University in Hammond to participate in the district Literary Rally.  I had never been before, so this was a new experience for me, and I had no idea what to expect.  I assumed that everyone would go into a big room, take the test, and just leave.  But it turned out that it was actually a big festival!  There were many booths set up for each subject (science, history, math, etc...), and there was music and games too.  I was surprised by the amount of people that were there.  I was competing in the category of English I, along with about 100 other students.  Even though I did not qualify for the state rally, I was very happy to have experienced what literary rally was all about.

Saturday night was the Baton Rouge Cotillion spring dance.  The theme was "out of this world", which is like space and aliens.  I had a little trouble finding an outfit that fit this theme, but eventually came up with something.  When we got to the River Center, which was where the dance was, we got lost in a bowling alley and walked around for about 10 minutes before we actually found the party.  I saw many crazy costumes, such as avatar and astronaut suits, and glow-in-the-dark pants!  It ended up being a really fun and crazy night!
