Every  year, in school, there’s a week when we drop all school materials and play to our heart’s content. More popularly known to the students as the sportsfest, the intramural this year will happen on the 16th to the 19th of February.

Once again, there will be four teams competing for the title of best group for the year – the Red Minotaurs, the Blue Harpies, the Green Hydras, and the Yellow Djinns. The colors basically remain the same but the names of the teams change based on a yearly theme. This year’s theme is mythical creatures and unfortunately I was selected to head the Green Hydras with the help of my co-coaches, Teachers Ayi and Erik.

I don’t know how things in the intramural are going to turn out. I’m still just thankful that the Science Week is over and we were able to pull things off. I plan to take it easy this time and let the high school students and my co-coaches take over the supervision of the team. I’ve given the kids instructions on how to manage themselves and given them some tips and strategies for the games. I hope everything works out well. I don’t want the sportsfest week to be as draining as the previous week. I’ve had enough alli diet pills in the form of schedule conflicts and last-minute finding of judges in the Science Expo. I’m not gonna make myself any thinner, at least not that way.

I’m vowing to enjoy myself this time. Winning would be the icing on top, but a break from all the work is rewarding enough.
