First of all, I haven't been very active and I feel bad, but I'm only 8 days in and school is kicking my butt. I have a four day weekend for Labor Day though, so I'll be writing a lot. If anyone reads my story, it should be updated tomorrow.

Secondly, tonight I'm going to a football game. I live in a pretty rural town and football's a big deal. Tonight we're playing at a school that's right outside of our capital city. We like to call it a 'ghetto school'. It sounds mean, but that's what it is.

I'm scared to go.

I have reasons though.

Basketball teams have to be escorted in and out by security guards/police officers. You can't bring a bag over a certain size to any sports event.

You have to walk through a METAL DETECTOR to get into the game. Apparently they've had a few incidences of students bringing in knives... and using them when angry.

We're all still gonna go and have fun, but we're all gonna be a little wary.

I really hope I don't get stabbed.
