X-MOS!

Not too long ago, we had a huge day to celebrate the last 100 days of school, called x-mos. The whole point of the day was to put on a show (with music, dancing and small acts) to make fun of teachers and show talents. Also, we were able to trash the school and paint faces and hair of the younger years.

Everyone was given a whistle and a black hat to decorate however they chose. I did mine with all of the colors of the American and Belgie flags. We all got sweatshirts and t-shirts with our names on them, which the whole 6th year wore on Friday (the day of the show). We had to go to school at 7:00am on Friday. Which meant waking up at like 5.. good thing the day was worth it! When we got to the school, we all ate breakfast together. Once we were done eating, We went outside and set everything up for the show.
When all of the younger grades got here, we pretty much attacked them with lipstick and hairspray-dye. When everything was ready for the show, the whole school was outside waiting to see what would happen. It began with the principal carrying a torch like in the Olympics to the center of the field. There, they lit a bunch of really beautiful, small, fireworks.
The theme of the show was Circus, so there were people dressed in animal costumes running around, people doing flips and tricks in the middle of the crowd, and a ring master in the center. The show consisted of the ring master sliding down a rope from the top story of our 3 floor school, and a group of guys stripping into their boxers to I'm Sexy and I Know It - yes, just like the music video. The last thing for the show was a huge dance by all of us 6th years to Party Rock Anthem. That was probably one of the best parts. It was the entire class, including the box head like in all of the LMFAO videos.

After we were done with the huge act, all of the kids had to go to their classrooms. The night before we had lined the intire second floor with balloons. All you could hear for the entire day was POP! POP! POP!
Each person also had a bag of confetti that we proceeded to dump in everyones hair and throw down their shirts. It seems mean, but they were having just as much fun as us! After trashing pretty much the whole school, we got to go prepare for our second show while all of the younger kids had to clean our mess.. haha!


For the second part, we went inside to the stage and put on a big show with music and dancing and acts to make fun of the teachers. Here, I was in one act with my friends in my class. We sang Mama-Mia and had to wear really funny things on our arms and legs.
After the show, we went as a class to get something to drink. By this time, it was like 4 or 5. Our class met up with our class teachers in a nice cafe and we all, had a really nice meal.

After the meal, it was 8pm already. So we started walking to the party. The party was a lot of fun. I spent most of the nice with one of my best friends, Elise. With the exception of it being really really hot, it was a good party. I was certainly tired afterwards and for the next 3 days I didn't have much of a voice.
