Especially when we have this toward the end of the school year, there is a lot of anticipation for it. This is something to set goals for. Both schools get together; there's a little rivalry.

Our staff is anticipating a really great year. The first day of school is an anticipation of good things to come,

I felt like the first day of school or something. My heart was beating a little faster, my anticipation was building up. It was like the first day of school when you go to kindergarten or something.

When I was in high school, I started writing a serial novel, longhand, set in the Arthurian mythos, and influenced not incidentally by Marion Zimmer Bradley's 'The Mists of Avalon.'

This whole day is a great experience for the kids.

I'd say it's about 20 percent who are athletes and 80 percent students who see this as a good opportunity to compete. To some, this is like their sport.
