Four Rounds

This day shall go down as one of the most memorable in my schooling. We had a whole day of review (oral recitation). And it's probably the longest to date. Imagine the whole day being at the edge of your seat murmuring grace to yourself while waiting for your popsicle stick with your name on it to be called. When you don't get it, you remain standing till you get a question right. Three unanswered questions and the three knockdown rule is official-one page paper. We usually have this for an hour on Mondays. So when you get it right, you're safe the entire time. This day was like forever. We each had four rounds of it! Good thing I made all four. Grace.
What I like though, is when my classmates applaud when you get it right (You don't experience that elsewhere). They look at you when you're wrong as if wanting to tell you the answer. The "C'mon! You can do it spirit" is there! Goodness, that' s rare! I'm wowed.
