Homecoming Wrap-up

Last night, the TM gang and I culminated our week long adventure into the world of float building.

I must admit, I have never built anything in my life, much less something as complex as a float.

Granted our float wasn't and engineering marvel, but it wasn't that bad either. Sadly, we did not win anything, but I feel the experience (and food) was enough to compensate the hard work.

The adventure began on Wednesday since we waited until last weeks edition of the the amazing Talon Marks was printed. I wasn't there as much as the rest of the crew, but at least I provided the comedic relief.

The process was long and tedious, sprinkled with heated arguments here and there and dabbed with paint along the way. I must say that the final outcome was something I was proud to say I was part of.

Even though I may not have added much to the float, I feel Rick and I had the hardest job of all. We had to pull the float; the rusted, squeaky, incredibly difficult to steer float. And to top it off, we had four members of the TM on top.

Even though it was a tough job, I will say it was fun. Since joining the Talon Marks i've come to experience something i've never had before. Something I would always see on TV, or read about in books. A little something I though never existed: School spirit. It made me proud to say "I'm a Cerritos College student."

Go Falcons!
