Cheers
Cheers to Beyonce. Queen Bey won four Grammys at last weekend’s award ceremony, pushing her Grammy count to 32, which is the most ever held by an artist.
Cheers to English teacher Patrick Cheney. The man delivered his own daughter early Saturday morning. Congratulations to Patrick, Tara, and PK Cheney on the birth of Charlene!
Cheers to nature. Let’s try not to mess it up more than we already have, because it is a pretty neat thing.
Cheers to Starr’s Mill athletics. Four of our wrestlers are moving on to sectional competitions, and the team boasts two area champs and two runners-up. On the swim team, sophomore Braeden Roach placed third at state in the 500 freestyle. Also, the Pantherette dance team placed first in jazz and pom last weekend at McIntosh, but is placing first for them even a surprise at this point?
Cheers to Panera. Specifically because of the calm atmosphere it provides to complete schoolwork. I do not know what it is about that place, but I grab a charged lemonade, snag a booth, and the homework just gets itself done.
Jeers
Jeers to Harry Styles. Not him exactly, but his Album of the Year award at the Grammys was questionable.
Jeers to the traffic rush at Chick-fil-A on Friday afternoons. I know you want your spicy chicken sandwich ASAP, but I want it more.
Jeers to the golf cart breaking down or running out of battery on the way to an important destination. It is not my fault I forgot to charge it. Kinda.
Jeers to rule breakers. We all do it sometimes, but there are some rules worth following. For example, use the roundabout instead of dropping off your kid in front of the “NO DROP OFF” sign. We can do better, folks.
Jeers to shin splints. There seems to be an epidemic of it on the track team, and that unfortunate malady can keep you out for weeks. Get better soon, runners!
