Track Banquet: A Review

Last Friday was the Winter Track Banquet, a horribly unorganized affair where half the people came late because of misleading schedules. On the official invitation that was handed out to everybody around a week beforehand, it was clearly stated that the Banquet would start at 6:00 pm. This was not so. Not only did the Banquet start at 5:00, that was not told to around half of the track population, who walked in at 6:00 during the presentations very confused and hungry. Another ill planned aspect of the Banquet was the fact that they ran out of food for the people who were there. Weak with hunger, frustrated, and extremely disappointed at 6:00 to the surprise of the not late people and the coaches, the late people who thought they were on time walked in to the High School's cafeteria, among which I was present, expecting food a mingling only to be sadly disappointed. I had made a track slide show of pictures taken throughout the season, mostly by me. I got nothing to eat but a tiny half-cooked brownie and all I was there for was to have a varsity certificate thrust in my face and then my slide show, which I manned because it was really a Powerpoint (I have very limited technology at my house). Because I was handling the Powerpoint/slideshow I didn't even get to have the dessert. I was forced to squat in front of the laptop ( the person behind me couldn't see ) hungry and harangued while I thought over why a Certain Girl who shall remain unnamed had gotten an award and the people who in my personal and observent opinion deserved one. Everybody really did appreciate my slideshow though. However the night was not meant to end well and the sweatshirts that we ordered at the beginning of January and payed 30 dollars for were Men's which is a problem really because we happen to be a Girl's track team. You'd think maybe someone might notice a huge extra large sweatshirt with a name like "Sally" embroidered on the arm. I think we should hold another, different Banquet where we hand ot our own awards to those whom we see fit to get an award. Over the matter of the Banquet I am deeply let-down. That's all for now, I have to get back to my class.
