Spirit Week continues with Backward Day, and then tomorrow will be Decades Day! It’s backward to the future. . . . Get it? Anyhoo, I’ve made an outfit with a backward collar and buttons in the back instead of the front. Pretty crafty, huh? I’m going to wear a long string of beads down my back, although I’ll probably have to swing them to the front when I sit in class or else I’ll feel like the princess in “The Princess and the Pea,” with all those knobbly things distracting me. I love thinking about clothes being backward. It’s totally looc! (“cool” spelled backward). It makes me wonder about turning clothes sideways and upside down and inside out and even slantways (like the Wonkavator in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). How looc would that be? It’s nice to have a fun project to distract me from everything else going on. Life has been feeling pretty back to front at the moment, to tell you the truth. Spirit Week has felt more like Spiritless Week. But at least I’ve got the karaoke competition on Friday to look forward to.
