this saturday was the 38th annual Holy Bowl. the Holy Bowl is a big football game between Christian Brother's High School (my school) and Jesuit High School. these are the two big catholic high schools in sacramento, CB being co-ed and Jesuit being an all boys school with it's sister school Saint Francis. they've had an ongoing rivalry since the two institutions have existed. i like to think of it as a dose of good, healthy competition, but in reality it is a bit vicious. i personally feel passionately about it. this year was Cb's year. our boys were better than they've been in a long time, beating ranked #6 Luther Burbank and St. Mary's or stockton. everything was going wonderful. CB gave the first score to Jesuit but quickly took the lead and seemed to be holding it. no one expected that late in the 4th quarter Jesuit would take the lead by a mere on point. time was running short but CB still stood a chance to score one last time. naturally that didn't happen and we lost, yet again. everyone, especially the seniors, were so ready to win. since our freshman year our football players have excelled at football, beating jesuit and all of their biggest competitors, and now we lost it all to a few bullshit calls and a mere minute lost on the clock. but the most important component to the Holy Bowl 2008 story isn't that we ALMOST won, but that we played well, we came out with more spirit than a liturgy, and had a good time despite the loss...or until the loss.

SECTION 2: COLLEGE TALK
i just attempted to clean my room and a part of that is organizing all my random papers into organized piles/garbage receptacles. everything is pretty organized except for the huge monster pile of college brochures that i decided to keep. most of these are for art schools that i won't ever go to. today i was talking to luke, and he told me that just about everything i say is college related. he is probably right. i'm a high school senior in the fall semester and college is on the frontmost part of my brain. sadly my original dreams might not be realized. due to financial and practical reasons, i'm second-guessing this whole art school thing a lot. i love art, making it, looking at it, all of it, but i don't have the money to go to art school. plus, how can amy albertson go to a school without a football team? no one has the answer to that. so i still know what i want to do with my life, i'm just not sure as to how i'll be doing it anymore. it is really a shame because time is running out. i haven't started any applications. the most i've done is start my portfolio, and that is a waste if i don't end up at an art school. i'm just not sure, and i hate not knowing.
