Boy was I right about my weekend spiraling downwards. After everyone got back from exploring it was lights out time and we went to bed. In the morning the gardening club had to get ready for the expo and competition. The Japanese club didn't have anything starting until later that day and stuff the next day. I would go to the next day events for that club. Today was about the gardening club.
So I got dressed in a very nice Chinese outfit that was very professional looking. Then I grabbed my flower pot and got ready to leave with the rest. When we reached the expo center we had to fight to get me in. Apparently the other schools and event officials thought I would eat all of the plants. Seriously people?! I am not that big of an eater. I am so annoyed with how people are reacting to my appearance.
Finally we were let in and I took my plant to the competition as the judging was first on the agenda. I barely made it in time but I stood proudly next to my pot. I glanced around at the other plants but none of them had grown like mine did. Some were half dead, others weren't as colorful, others only had one flower.... you get the picture. When the judges got to my pot they carefully examined it and then went away to mutter to themselves. Finally they declared some girl from another school with a pot full of dead flowers save for one as the winner.
I immediately interrupted the proceedings and told them that they must be blind to have missed my pot of perfectly healthy flowers right over there! Even my club adviser was mad about the decision. The judges gave me a cool stare (save for one he look very nervous) and told me that I must have cheated and thus was disqualified. CHEATED?! CHEATED?! The only thing I was cheated about was being cheated out of my win! My adviser blew up on them saying they had no right to say that and they had no way of supporting that decision, that she was going to go above them and get this repealed! I wanted to applaud her so much.
Finally after much fuss they kicked her and me out telling us that we better not show up for the rest of the expo. The other adviser managed to get them to allow the rest of the students to finish attending. He went on later that night to scold us about our behavior and we got what we deserved. I cannot believe him! Jerk! The other adviser, the cool lady, she told me that she would she fight for my first place. She knew that I didn't cheat, just that I was really good with plants. She is so cool supporting me when everyone else just wants to reject me. *some dried spots appear on the paper in this last paragraph as if someone had cried while writing this*
