Newspaper, Awesomeness, and Forgetfullness. Oh my...

Wow, I haven't written a blog in forever. I really need to remember I have one... But that's beside the point.
Updates:
Monday, The EDGE Newspaper staff journeyed to Lipscomb University for the THSPA awards. We were a mixture of excited, nervous, chill, panic-attack mode, and rawr. After being second in the state to Harpeth Hall last year, all of us wondered if we would reclaim the #1 All-Tennessee title again.
Well, guess what.

We did!
(cue fireworks and feeling of Awesome.)

But honestly, it doesn't take a shiny golden star trophy to assure me that we're the best newspaper in Tennesee. Just reading it and being with the other staff members tells me that. We're all like a big family. At the Mexican restaurant, we had one of the greatest times. Nathan brought (delicious) cupcakes, and somebody tipped off the waiters that Amanda's birthday was the day before that. Needless to say, a large, pink sombrero and a surprised expression were involved. :)
After that, we went up the road to play lazer tag. Good news? Private party, no terrifying children (you had to be there to know.) We had codenames such as Sherlock, Watson, Mr. Sideburns, a trio of wizards: Merlin, Gandalf, and Dumbledore, and Bob!!
It seems as though every time we go to lazer tag, our advisor, Mrs. Lockhart, never fails to prove how awesome she is. All of us who thought we were good were completely blown out of the water by "Spiffychic." Now, we are convinced she was a WWII sniper in a past life.

Sadly, after lazer tag, tragedy struck.
The leftover cupcakes were dropped. Not one, not a couple. All of them. This called for a moment of silence followed by a quick cleanup.
At the end of the day, we all came back with a few awards and the satisfaction of another day with our newspaper family.
Best day so far? More than likely.
