JUG Day was a complete success. The most fun we've had all year and definitely the best JUG Day I've seen in my years at Regis.

JUG is like detention at my school. It stands for Justice Under God. JUG Day is the last day of second trimester, aka the last day that all the seniors are together in the school. A third of us is going to do full time Christian Service five days a week instead of school for third tri, another third will be in school [me], and the rest will be at a 9 to 5 internship. Since it's the last day, all the seniors wreak havoc around the school: making noise, dressing up in wacky costumes, and the like. The point is for all of us to have JUG together after school, and since the Dean knows it's all a joke we tend not to have such hefty JUG sentences (we actually served 30 seconds of JUG - only after the 20 minutes it took for the dean to go through all of our names).

The theme for JUG Day this year was "Animal Noise." [Which has a history in itself but I digress.] Everyone had on animal masks or regular costumes. We also called a last minute addition to the theme - scooters. Picture this, 70 to 80 seventeen- and eighteen-year-olds, zooming around the school in scooters. CRAZY.

At 1:13PM we scheduled to raid the quadrangle of the school, ONLY TO BE AMBUSHED by the faculty blocking off every entrance to the quad. Then we literally ran stampeded away from them as they chased us, which as you can imagine made everything funnier.

The picture above was taken right before JUG when we were all waiting outside the room. After JUG we ended up stampeding downstairs from the 5th floor to the quad. AMAZING. Definitely a highlight of my senior year at Regis.
