Convo

So, my high school, while still being open to all religions, is a Catholic/Jesuit school. And since I am a freshman, today I just experienced the dreaded convo...
Also known as a convocation, it's basically just a prayer service with the whole school. Everyone dresses up for it, we have a different schedule, and we all have to go in the gym and... do.. stuff. I don't know. But since today was the feast day for our patron dude, who I won't say the name of, we had a convo.
I had to find a skirt that hit my knees, because the deans made up this new stupid rule that all clothing has to hit the knee. The problem is, they don't sell anything that hits your knee unless it's a maxi dress. But I'm pretty sure the principals told the deans to cool it for today, because I saw a lot of girls who had way shorter skirts then I did.
At the actual convo, there were a bunch of different prayers from different religions, and I actually wasn't bored, despite what everyone says. The prayers were really cool, as most of them were either sung or in a different language. And while the story about how the dude was martyred was really nasty and made me want to throw up, it was also kind of inspiring in a gross way.
The only thing that bothered me was how numb my butt got. Bleachers suck when you have to sit in them for an hour with nothing to rest your back on. By the end, I was walking around like an old person, but I was rushing to the other gym, because another inspiring tradition at my school is that after the convo/prayer service, there's lots of cookies.
Apparently, you need the extra sugar to get the blood flowing back into your ass.
